Pg. 547-549. Knight or Coryphodon beds of Wasatch group. Proposed for upper part of Wasatch of southwestern Wyoming containing CORYPHODON remains. Named from Knight Station [Uinta County], which is near place where fossils belonging to the genus were first found in North America, and where typical upper Wasatch is well developed. Rests unconformably on Fort Union. [Age is Eocene.]

Knight formation of Wasatch group. Variegated yellow and red sandy clays, with irregularly bedded white and yellow sandstones. Contains CORYPHODON and other animal remains. Thickness 500 to 1,500+/- feet. Top formation of Wasatch group in southwestern Wyoming. Underlies Green River formation and unconformably overlies Fowkes formation (middle formation of Wasatch group). [Age is Eocene.]

Pg. 60, 61, 62-63. Knight member of Wasatch formation. In south-central Sublette County, southwestern Wyoming, considered member in upper part of Wasatch formation. Consists essentially of soft red and maroon shales, variegated red and green poorly-lithified mudstones, coarse sandstones and arkose. Typical exposures in bluffs overlooking valley of Green River btw. towns of La Barge and Big Piney. [Thickness not stated.] Overlies New Fork tongue (new) of Wasatch. Conformably underlies Fontenelle member (new) of Green River formation. Fossils (vertebrates). Age is early Eocene (upper Wasatch).

Rocks assigned to parts of Wasatch Formation in this report on the Greater Green River basin of southwest WY were called Knight (Eocene) and Almy (Paleocene) formations by Veatch (1907). Neither Almy nor Knight considered useful terms in this report, [though neither name was abandoned].

Rocks included in Knight Formation of Wasatch Group by Veatch (1907) are reallocated to the Wasatch Formation, and in places the Evanston Formation.
