Boggy Creek | Czaplewski N. J. (2008) | Ogallala | "An inability to identify the remains beyond the genus Teleoceras indicates an indefinite but probably Hemphillian or Clarendonian age for the Boggy Creek locality." "Many of the localities yielding vertebrate fossils in west-central Oklahoma occur along the outcrop margin of the Ogallala Formation, where there seems to be extensive reworking of the Ogallala sediments. This and the paucity of age-diagnostic taxa make it difficult to assign most of the Roger Mills County localities to a la | sandstone | 13.6 - 4.9 Ma Neogene |
