Where: Yukon, Canada (65.8° N, 139.9° W: paleocoordinates 67.7° N, 73.8° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: White and Coaly Quartzite Division Formation, Berriasian to Berriasian (145.0 - 132.9 Ma)

• Collection a composite from the "White and Coaly Quartzite Division" unit of the Porcupine River headwaters section. This succession is equivalent to the "Lower sandstone and coal-bearing division" of the Rock River section; assigned a Berriasian-Valanginian age based on macrofossil biostratigraphy, although could potentially fall within the Hauterivian-Tithonian.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shoreface; lithified sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Reposited in the GSC

Collection methods: quarrying,

• Collection is a composite derived from Fig. 2 of Jeletzky (1978), and amalgamated from occurrences of individual taxa on composite columns for individual lithostratigraphic units. Collections presumably are reposited in the Geological Survey of Canada collections.
