Flag Canyon, 1 mile NNE Crystal Forest (PFV 191) | Mueller B. D., Parker W. G. (2006) | Chinle - Sonsela | "PFV 191 is within the Jim Camp Wash beds of the Sonsela Member and is located approximately 20 meters above the top of the Blue Mesa Member...The exact age of these beds cannot be currently unequivocally constrained, but the presence of the aetosaur Paratypothorax and the phytosaur Pseudopalatus at lower horizons in the nearby Crystal Forest (PFV 173) and Mountain Lion Mesa (PFV 295), respectively, suggests a Norian age" | mudstone | 228 - 208.5 Ma Late/Upper Triassic |
