4 km NE Camp Springs | Long R. A., Murry P. A. (1995) | Dockum - Camp Springs | Originally referred to as the Camp Springs Conglomerate by Langston (1949), the "pre-Tecovas horizon" by Long & Murry (1995), and the "Camp Springs Formation" by Stocker (2013), and is potentially correlated with the Santa Rosa Sandstone of the basal Dockum according to Martz (2008: unpublished PhD thesis, Texas Tech University). The Santa Rosa Sandstone can be constrained to be older than the hypothesised age range of 220–215 Ma for the Post Quarry (Stocker 2013). | sandstone | 237 - 208.5 Ma Late/Upper Triassic |
