NM: ROOSEVELT CO. 1214 m.
General Description.—"Blowout" areas along Blackwater Draw that expose Pleistocene-age sediments.
Age.—Late Wisconsinan with some early Holocene. Comments.—Johnson (1987) notes that Milstead (1967) reports Terrapene ornata from Anderson Basin No. 1 as Wisconsinan; however, she notes that it's from the diatomite unit which is Early Holocene. This presumably is the specimen reported by Lundelius (1972), citing Stock and Bode (1937).
