Where: McCone County, Montana (47.6° N, 106.2° W: paleocoordinates 53.8° N, 81.0° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Tullock Member (Fort Union Formation), Puercan (66.0 - 63.3 Ma)

• The Coke’s Clemmys fossil locality (CC) is ~10.3 m above the top of the MCZ coal and is directly on top of the 2330 coal (Fig.  2). Between

•the MCZ and the 2330 coal at this locality is ~10 m of alternating siltstone and mudstone ...the 2330 coal, which here is ~0.5 m

•thick and contains one tephra (bentonite) layer that was sampled for 40Ar/39Ar analysis and dated to 65.802+/- 0.116 Ma.

Environment/lithology: fluvial; sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Reposited in the ROM, UCMP, UWBM

Collection methods: surface (float), sieve,

• via

•surface collection and underwater screenwashing

•of fossiliferous sediment over the course

•of several field seasons (in the 1980s and early

•1990s by UCMP and RAM field crews led by Lofgren and in the 2010s by UWBM field crews led by Smith and Wilson)
