Where: San Juan County, New Mexico (36.1° N, 108.1° W: paleocoordinates 43.4° N, 79.5° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Fruitland Formation, Late/Upper Campanian (83.5 - 70.6 Ma)

• 'Fruitland Formation'. However, Tsaya is nowhere within 3 miles of Coal Creek or of an exposure of the Fruitland, although it comes close in the northeast. Coal Creek does run through exposures of the Fruitland Formation and it is possible that the location of Tsaya has changed. The horizon should be accepted with reservations.
