This locality is located approximately 1.29 km (0.8 mile) N10ºW of the first locality. Conodonts from this locality, identified by Audrey L. Orndorff and Anita G. Harris (written commun., 7 October 1988), contain two identifiable polygnathid species, Polygnathus inversus Klapper & Johnson and Polygnathus laticostatus Klapper & Johnson, indicating an Inversus/Laticostatus Zone (middle Emsian) age.]
