At one locality, an interesting ammonoid fauna with other invertebrates was collected from the Manzanita limestone member of the Cherry Canyon formation 3 which caps the top of Long Point, a structural and topographical feature 4 about 7 miles southeast...

Possible equivalent of Manzanita limestone member of the Cherry Canyon formation .—In the western Glass Mountains, the Word formation above the first limestone member is a mass of shales and thin limestones. In its upper part, not far beneath the Capitan limestone, are some beds...

..., however, these ages are far from uncontroversial (e.g., Reisz and Laurin, 2001 , 2002 ). For example, the ammonoids and other cephalopods in the Blaine Formation are found also in the Road Canyon and Word Formations in the Glass Mountains, the Cherry Canyon Formation in the Guadalupe Mountains...

... the Cherry Canyon and Bell Canyon Formations show well-developed cyclothems; King (1948 , p. 31) described sedimentary cycles from the Brushy Canyon Formation, but they probably were produced by shifting submarine fans (Jacka et al . 1968) rather than by relative sea-level changes. Although King (1948...

These interpretations were based on a combination of fusulinid control and physical stratigraphic correlations. Conversely, Meissner...

The formation is 1,190 feet thick at the type locality and is very fossiliferous ( Boutwell, 1907 , p. 450). The fossils, however, do not include ammonoids, and therefore Boutwell (1907) first...
