Also known as UWBM B3263 (upper level), UWBM B4294 (lower level)

Where: British Columbia, Canada (49.5° N, 120.6° W: paleocoordinates 54.1° N, 103.8° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Vermillion Bluffs shale Member (Allenby Formation), Ypresian (56.0 - 47.8 Ma)

• Two fossiliferous areas are listed as Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, University of Washington localities UWBM B3263 (upper level) and UWBM B4294 (lower

•level), and correspond to mapped megafossil localities in the Allenby Formation for this area on geological maps for south and west of Princeton (Read 1987, 2000; Massey et al. 2010). The smaller, lower site occurs immediately above the Tulameen River with beds that are nearly horizontal, in contrast to the upper, larger site, approximately 50mhigher (UWBM B3263), which consists of a small anticline that was exposed during road construction.

Environment/lithology: lacustrine - small; lithified shale

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils

Preservation: adpression
