Also known as UCMP V-72211
Where: Garfield County, Montana (47.6° N, 107.3° W: paleocoordinates 54.0° N, 82.2° W)
• coordinate based on unpublished field data
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Hell Creek Formation, Puercan (66.0 - 63.3 Ma)
• paleomagnetic sections are given by Archibald et al. 1982 and Swisher et al. 1995 but are not very helpful because the locality is from a channel sandstone deeply incised into the formation
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coarse channel fill; sandstone
Size class: mesofossils
Reposited in the UCMP
Collection methods: bulk, surface (float), sieve,
