The Trinity Division exposures at Junction, Kimble County, Texas, yield a rich charophyte flora dominated by clavatoraceans. The presence of Atopochara trivolvis ssp. trivolvis (Peck, 1938) Grambast, 1968, and Clypeator corrugatus (Peck, 1941) Grambast, 1962, indicates an Aptian age for these strata and makes them the continental equivalent of the Lower Glen Rose. Atopochara trivolvis, whose type-material was recovered from the Trinity in a deep well in southern Texas, is known from numerous freshwater to oligohaline lakes from the Mesogean area in Europe and North Africa as well as from Cretaceous oil-bearing basins in China. Charophytes are clear indicators of supratidal environments and the abundant remains at Junction suggest a positive structural feature in this part of central Texas that might have been either an island or directly connected to the Llano Uplift.

The origin and affinity of the problematic Nuia Maslov is reappraised from exceptionally preserved specimens in Upper Cambrian (Sunwaptan) rocks of the Llano Uplift, central Texas. Nuia is suggested to be a radial calcitic ooid that has nucleated on fragments of reworked filamentous calcimicrobes rather than a separate microorganism as has been assumed previously. Nuia is found predominantly in intrareef grainstone accumulations, as well as in interreef grainstones, invariably accompanied by other bioclastic debris showing similar radial calcite ooid overgrowths.
