Northwest of Indio headquarters | Ager D. V., Underwood J. R., et al (1963) | Yucca | Near the top of the Yucca Formation. Ammonites have not been found in the Yucca and Bluff Formations in the Indio Mountains but have been found in laterally equivalent units in the range to the south in Chihuahua, Mexico. The ammonite-bearing beds have been traced laterally into the brachiopod-bearing beds, so as to establish the age as late Aptian-early Albian. Probably the age of the lower brachiopod horizon is Aptian. | "siliciclastic" | 122.46 - 112.03 Ma Early/Lower Cretaceous |
