• The paper says the Azollopsis pusilla specimens were collected in rocks lower Campanian in age, but the specimens have the same locality number as the Azollopsis intermedia specimens. The paper does not specify when in the Campanian the Azollopsis intermedia specimens are from.

•

•Foremost Formation is likely middle Campanian in age, see Fowler et al. 2017 supplementary data for more details on age constraints of the Foremost Formation.
