Also known as DPP, Bonebed 86, TMP loc. L0086

Where: Alberta, Canada (50.7° N, 111.5° W: paleocoordinates 58.1° N, 76.1° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Dinosaur Park Formation (Belly River Group), Late/Upper Campanian (83.5 - 70.6 Ma)

• Microvertebrate sites of Brinkman (1990) are "...placed in stratigraphic sequence by reference to a disconformity located about sixty meters below the base of the Lethbridge Coal (Eberth, 1990). The stratigraphic position of each site is expressed in terms of meteres above or below the disconformity (Fig. 2, Brinkman, 1990)."

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: channel lag; lag, fine-grained, medium, pebbly, intraclastic sandstone and sandy, carbonaceous siltstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collected by L. J. Strong in 1986-1989; reposited in the TMP

Collection methods: bulk, surface (float), sieve,

• Screenwashed elements were collected using a screen with 9 openings per centimeter.
