Where: British Columbia, Canada (49.2° N, 124.1° W: paleocoordinates 52.9° N, 90.0° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Haslam Formation, Late/Upper Santonian (85.8 - 83.5 Ma)
• Ammonites from nearby outcrops that seem to be stratigraphically approximate contain tentatively identified specimens of the ammonite Canadoceras yokoyamai, indicative of early early Campanian age. Haggart & Graham (2018) later determined a late Santonian age from the upper quarry itself, on the basis of ammonites, inoceramids, and the crinoid Marsupites.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified siliciclastic sediments
Size class: macrofossils
