Where: Alberta, Canada (51.8° N, 112.9° W: paleocoordinates 59.6° N, 78.7° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Horseshoe Canyon Formation (Edmonton Group), Late/Upper Campanian to Late/Upper Campanian (83.5 - 66.0 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; mudstone and medium-grained, calcareous sandstone

• "The tracks were made in a stiff mud...this mud was then covered with a medium-grained sand which filled the impressions...This has since become solidifed, in certain areas, due to the concentration of calcareous cement."

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: trace
