DEM of the Brokeoff and Guadalupe Mountains Region. A) Image showing the trend of the PCS9 shelf margin (from Kerans and Fitchen 1995) and relict Leonardian 6 shelf margin (from Amerman et al. 2011) with respect to the field area encircled with a yellow box and labeled “B.” B) Zoomed-in view of the study area showing the location of canyons along the Western Escarpment of the Guadalupe Mountains National Park (B). The scale bar projected along strike from Shumard Canyon illustrates the dip-parallel distance from the relict L6-Victorio Peak shelf margin. Dashed lines with arrows illustrate along-strike projections to the scale bar for Shumard Canyon and the most downdip extent of the study area at Rest Area Gully. Depositional settings of the LSI environment include: relict shelf margin (RSM), relict upper slope (RUS), and relict lower slope (RLS).

Stratigraphic section (A–A) of the west face of Guadalupe Mountains National Park (modified from Kerans and Kempter, 2002). This study focuses on the Bone Spring (upper slope) and Victorio Peak (outer shelf) L5 and L6 sequences (red box). Outcrop-defined sequences shown in the stratigraphic column to the left compiled from Fitchen, 1997; Sarg et al., 1999; Kerans and Kempter, 2002; Hurd et al., 2016; and this study. The stratigraphic section at right defines the basin terminology with inferred chronostratigraphic correlations to outcrops (Hurd et al., 2016). The Bone Spring Formation outcrops are interpreted to correlate to basinal rocks referred to informally as the Middle Avalon Carbonate, Lower Avalon Shale, and some portion of the 1st Bone Spring Carbonate, 1st Bone Spring Sand, and 2nd Bone Spring Carbonate.

Figure3—Holotype of Toomeyospongia gigantia n. sp., from the Upper Guadalupian Reef Trail Member of the Bell Canyon Formation, Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Texas, GUMO 5249. 1, Skeletal detail showing large, strongly reflexed, and regularly spaced and oriented silicified pentactines of the dermal layer and smaller, less regularly oriented and spaced hexactine-based spicules in spaces between, in the upper left part of the sponge as shown below in 3. 2, Skeletal detail near the base of the sponge, showing smaller dermal pentactines with reflexed tangential rays, partially covered with matrix, and less organized structure of the more gastral endosomal layer in the lower part of the figure, in the lower right of the sponge as shown in 4. 3, Side view of laterally flattened large sponge, showing upward expanding skeletal structure of the partially covered, coarsely spiculed, dermal layer of the skeleton. The base of the sponge is missing, and the oscular margin, near the top, is obscured by matrix. 4, Side view, of side opposite that shown in 3, of the well-organized dermal layer of the skeleton with regularly oriented and spaced pentactines whose tips of tangential reflexed rays are buried in matrix.
