Torrejonia wilsoni (Palaechthonidae)

Kommentar z. Stratigraphie Kommentar z. Taxonomie
not far below the middle of a reversed magnetic polarity zone in the Kutz Canyon section interpreted as C27r based on the position of the K-T boundary in the correlative Barrel Spring Arroyo = De-na-zin Wash section: see Butler et al. 1977, Lucas et al. 1997 reversed polarity, as is most of section, but correlation to chron 27R is based strictly on biochronology

Little Pocket San Juan Basin; SW 1/4, sec 35, T24N, R9W Danian
zwischen 61.7 und 63.3 Millionen Jahren
Nacimiento KUVP Locality 9, KU-9; Head of the West Branch of Kimbetoh Arroyo; LACM 4021; Sinclair and Granger Loc. 9; UALP 7595, 75100, 75101, 7576; UCMP 78081
Museum Kommentar z. Taxonomie
LACM records of Williamson and Lucas 1993 could include some material from Betonnie-Tsosie Arroyo
identical to list 13 of Williamson 1996
entire section is of reversed polarity according to Taylor 1981
type of Ellipsodon "yotankae" appears to be from Sinclair and Granger Locality 8; see Van Valen 1978
partial list of Taylor 1981 is repeated from Wilson almost without modification but includes Triisodon; this might be a lapsus as the KUVP 13 record of Triisodon appears in an adjacent column of Wilson's table
paleomag correlation is based on entirely reversed polarity of local section, but there is no tie point and the correlation is completely ambiguous

West Flank Torreon Wash (Pantolambda Zone) Danian
zwischen 61.7 und 63.3 Millionen Jahren
Nacimiento Sinclair and Granger Loc. 10 (in part); Torreon Wash Pantolambda Zone (in part); UCMP 87141, 87142; BUNM-77-184, -77-199a; NMMNH L-01287
Kommentar z. Taxonomie
identical to list 26 of Williamson 1996
presumably includes BUNM-77-183 of Tsentas 1981
clearly includes list of Tsentas 1981, despite lack of explicit discussion; includes all Pantolambda Zone taxa mentioned by Lindsay et al. 1978, 1981
two BUNM sites are the same
although Williamson 1996 reports specimen counts for Tsentas Quarry, these apply only to therians
normal polarity, correlated with 27N on basis of biochronology, but there is no independent tie point

Nacimiento
Kommentar z. Stratigraphie Lithographie
deposits are assigned to the Mixodectes pungens biozone, late Torrejonian (To3) North American Land Mammal Age. L-6898 falls within magnetochron C27N (23), constraining the absolute geochronological age to 62.221–62.517 Ma (25). thin (<10 cm) muddy siltstone bed of restricted areal extent (<5 square meters),
