• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Himes Member (Cloverly Formation), Middle Albian to Middle Albian (109.0 - 93.5 Ma)
• lower part of member = Ostrom's Unit VI; possible uppermost unit V

•D'Emic et al. 2019: New data reported in this study suggest that deposition of the Cloverly Formation spanned the Valanginian–Cenomanian stages (ca. 140 Ma–98 Ma), a longer time interval than the commonly cited Aptian–Albian depositional timeframe. In the mid–late Albian to early Cenomanian (ca. 109–98 Ma), sediment sourced from the east was deposited as the Himes Member and Greybull Sandstone.
