Where: Park County, Wyoming (44.3° N, 109.0° W: paleocoordinates 49.7° N, 90.3° W)
• coordinate based on political unit
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Clarkforkian (56.2 - 54.9 Ma)
• meter level revised from 1060 to 1080 m by Bowen and Bloch 2002; this value would place the collection below SC-78 and very close to the bottom of chron C24r based on Butler et al. 1981
Environment/lithology: terrestrial
Reposited in the UMMP
