Sergeant Major Creek 3 | Czaplewski N. J. (2008) | Ogallala | "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 land mammal age." | not reported | 13.6 - 2.588 Ma Cenozoic |
