(1999) | Chinle - Bluewater Creek | Upper Bluewater Creek Formation (above McGaffey Member); also referred to as the Bluewater Creek member of the Chinle Formation. Adamanian LVF, previously considered late Carnian but radiometric dates suggest a Norian age for the Chinle | conglomerate | 228 - 208.5 Ma Late/Upper Triassic |
