Where: Alaska (59.7° N, 153.3° W: paleocoordinates 30.1° N, 86.0° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Bowser Member (Tuxedni Formation), Bathonian (168.3 - 166.1 Ma)

• about 900-1000 ft below Chinitna formation; Middle part of Bowser member, Tuxedni formation;

•Cranocephalites beds, 'the beds could be of late Bathonian or very early Callovian age... the Arctocephalites (Cranocephalites) beds in Alaska or Montana are herein tentatively correlated with the Bathonian rather than the Callovian stage'

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, fine-grained sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Reposited in the USGS

• collection was made by C. E. Kirschner in 1946
