Geography
| Country: | United States | State/province: | Washington | County: | King |
| Coordinates: | 47.4° North, 122.0° West (view map) | ||||
| Paleocoordinates: | 49.0° North, 106.9° West | ||||
| Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark | ||||
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Raging River | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Formely included in Puget Group, but regarded as distinct due to lack of coal facies. Oldest sedimentary rocks in the Tiger Mountain-Taylor Mountain upland area. Probably lowermost collection of Raging River Formation. MacNeil (written communication) stated that there was little doubt this is a middle Eocene fauna. Probably equivalent to part of the McIntosh Formation of western Washington. Collection is from probably up to 1000 ft below the top of the formation. | |||||
