Also known as Highway 34 Dinosaur locality; Tincup Canyon
Where: Caribou County, Idaho (43.2° N, 111.1° W: paleocoordinates 43.5° N, 70.6° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Wayan Formation, Late/Upper Albian to Late/Upper Albian (105.3 - 93.5 Ma)
• Upper part of Wayan Fm
•
•Dating of detrital zircons from 120 m above the base of the formation and from the top of the formation has yielded a maximum age of 101.8 Ma (latest Albian) and a minimum age of 95.5 Ma (early Cenomanian; Krumenacker, 2010)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: crevasse splay; fine, gray, silty sandstone
•"The fossiliferous horizon consists of a petroliferous fine-grained gray calcite-cemented sandstone with some caliche clasts. The fossil-bearing unit coarsens upward transitioning into sandstone with caliche and gypsum nodules."
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
Collected by Montana State University in 2003–2004, 2007
Collection methods: surface (in situ),
