This article is missing information about 1. A better context-explain Permian geologic period; 2. More exact location of this formation (other than "western US"); 3. Better description of the fish fossils; 4. Date of discovery; 5. Occupation/background of Harry Nazer (possibly Harry R. Nazer ? Jan 28, 1916-Mar 5, 1990). (November 2023) |
The Shedhorn Sandstone is a Permian geologic unit in the western United States. Fish fossils were first discovered by Harry Nazer in its rocks.[1][2]
