One mile north of Ned (Dunkard Series) | Vaughn P. P. (1958) | Dunkard - Greene | " [...] high in the Greene group, Dunkard series [...] " (Vaughn, 1958).

The age of the Greene Fm. is not well constrained. Vaughn (1958), based on Romer (1952, Ann. Carneg. Mus. 33), states that the "Dunkard series is probably roughly equivalent in age to the Wichita group | "limestone" | 295.5 - 290.1 Ma Permian |
