Rogers et al. 2016: This mid-Judith discontinuity defines the boundary between the new McClelland Ferry and overlying Coal Ridge Members of the Judith River Formation. The shallow marine sandstones that form the backstepping sequences represent the leading edge of the Bearpaw transgression in this region and are formalized as the new Woodhawk Member of the Judith River Formation in a third reference section. New 40Ar/39Ar ages indicate (1) that the mid-Judith discontinuity formed ∼76.2 Ma
