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
