Hite Crossing | Lucas S. G., Schoch R. R. (2002) | Moenkopi - Torrey | "In SE Utah, the Torrey Member immediately overlies the Sinbad Limestone, a marine unit that yields Smithian ammonoids...The Virgin Limestone, of early Spathian age, may correlate to the uppermost part of the Torrey Member. Therefore we regard the Torrey as primarily of Smithian age" (Lucas & Schoch 2002: Lethaia 35: 97–106) | not reported | 251.3 - 247.2 Ma Early/Lower Triassic |
