Also known as Between St. Victor and Willow Bunch
Where: Saskatchewan, Canada (49.4° N, 106.8° W: paleocoordinates 55.5° N, 81.3° W)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Ravenscrag Formation, Danian (66.0 - 61.6 Ma)
• "60 feet above base... in the lower part of the Upper Ravenscrag formation, Paleocene" and Upper Ravenscrag is "correlated" with "the Puerco of New Mexico" (Sternberg 1932); the upper Ravenscrag ranges up to the Tiffanian but is in fact mostly Puercan and other PaleoDB collections from about this level are of this age
•
•Magnetostratigraphy suggests Ravenscrag Fm. is Danian in age (see Eberth et al. 2019)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; sandy siltstone
Size class: macrofossils
