South Carnegie Site

Olson (1967:36) originally describes the site as “abandoned quarry of the Roosevelt Materials Company Carnegie plant; 11.2 miles south of the center of Carnegie, Caddo County, [...] NE 1/4 sec. 6, T. 5 N., R. 13 W.” (Alden 7,5' quadrangle).\r\nLeBlanc et al. (2015) report captorhinid fossils from fissure fills in an “abandoned limestone quarry on Bally Mountain in Kiowa County”. They refer it to as ‘Bally Mountain locality’, but say that it is the same locality as Olson’s South Carnegie site. Bally Mountain, however, is located 6 km WNW from the PLSS coordinates cited by Olson (1967). Bridges (1985:63, MSc thesis, Oklahoma State University) already has noted that Olson’s description is wrong and gave the PLSS coordinates NE 1/4 sec. 26, T. 6 N., R. 14 W. (Bally Mountain 7,5' quadrangle) for the South Carnegie site. Although this is still about 2 km NE from the ridge that is labelled ‘Bally Mountain’ on the maps, the originally entered DMS coordinates (34°57'19" N 98°36'55" W) are changed according to the PLSS coordinates given by Bridges (1985).
