SC-178 (Paleocene of the United States)

Where: Park County, Wyoming (44.3° N, 109.0° W: paleocoordinates 50.2° N, 88.7° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Tiffanian (61.7 - 56.8 Ma)

• in C25r just below SC-191, which is at the base of C25n: Butler et al.

•not discussed by Secord et al. 2006, but they too place SC-191 at the base of C25n, so a level of 780 m estimated from their section is employed

Environment/lithology: terrestrial

Reposited in the UMMP
