Also known as Red Deer River
Where: Alberta, Canada (50.8° N, 111.5° W: paleocoordinates 58.1° N, 76.0° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Dinosaur Park? Formation (Belly River Group), Late/Upper Campanian (83.5 - 70.6 Ma)
• Hay (1908, p. 94) gave the horizon as: "Judith River deposits, Belly River series, on Red Deer River." Presumably, Hay meant that the deposits were of Judith River age and not that the type came from the Judith River Formation.
•Larson et al. (2012, p. 391–392) note that there is no information on whether the specimen is from the Oldman Formation or Dinosaur Park Formation but suggest that the latter is more likely given that it is more fossiliferous, is exposed over a larger area and collecting has tended to focus on it.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported
Size class: macrofossils

Adocus lineolatus Cope 1874 turtle 2 well preserved fragments: (1) part of R hyoplastral, (2) from margin of carapace in front of R axillary notch (unclear if from the same locality as N. eximius, but the locality for this occurrence is written the same; an occurrence for this taxon was missing from Lambe 1902)
