Where: Alberta, Canada (49.6° N, 114.0° W: paleocoordinates 51.0° N, 71.2° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Kaskapau Formation (Smoky Group), Cenomanian (100.5 - 93.9 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Belonging to the Smoky Group. The Kaskapau is conformable with the underlying continental Dunvegan Formation in northeastern British Columbia and most of the Alberta Peace River area, with a transitional lithology except in the vicinity of Watino, Alberta, where the contact is abrupt and the Dunveganoceras Zone seems to be missing. The Kaskapau Formation is conformably overlain by the Bad Heart Formation in the Smoky River area. AGE: Cenomanian, on the basis of ammonoid and foraminiferal biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position in local section.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; poorly lithified, gray, carbonaceous shale

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression

Reposited in the NMC

Collection methods: surface (in situ),

• COLLECTOR: Multiple collectors. REPOSITORY: National Museum of Canada.
