Where: Wyoming (42.1° N, 110.5° W: paleocoordinates 43.1° N, 71.4° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Aspen Shale Formation, Cenomanian (100.5 - 93.9 Ma)

• "flora occur in deposits which directily underlie the Frontier Formation of accepted Colorado age"

•JA: the Aspen Shale is late Albian and immediately underlies the terrestrial Cenomanian and Turoninan Frontier Formation but is entirely marine and has a disputed upper boundary (Nichols and Jacobson 1982), so the flora is presumably from low in the Frontier Formation and therefore Cenomanian contra Brown

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fluvial-lacustrine; lithified, gray mudstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: adpression, original carbon

Collection methods: bulk,
