Cheyenne West | Czaplewski N. J. (2008) | Ogallala | "Cheyenne West is probably the oldest vertebrate locality in the Ogallala Formation in Oklahoma." "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 | 15.97 - 10.3 Ma Miocene |
