Ibexian Series, Blackhillsian Stage
Zone J Cephalopods


The fossils in the top 3 photos were found on a hardground, probably in the Wah Wah Limestone in a fault block in the northern end of Tule Valley near Skull Rock Pass.  the bottom 3 were found in algal-sponge reef deposits.  Because endocerids are so rare in the Wah Wah, these may be from the Juab Limestone, Zone L, in the same or another fault block.
