Also known as Turtle Pond, DPP, Bonebed 119, RTMP Quarry 159, U009
Where: Alberta, Canada (50.7° N, 111.5° W: paleocoordinates 58.0° N, 76.0° W)
• coordinate stated in text
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Dinosaur Park Formation (Belly River Group), Late/Upper Campanian (83.5 - 70.6 Ma)
• Microvertebrate sites of Brinkman (1990) are "...placed in stratigraphic sequence by reference to a disconformity located about sixty meters below the base of the Lethbridge Coal (Eberth, 1990). The stratigraphic position of each site is expressed in terms of meteres above or below the disconformity (Fig. 2, Brinkman, 1990)."
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: "channel"; lag, fine-grained, pebbly, intraclastic, silty sandstone
•The disconformity in southern Alberta records a Cordilleran uplift event west of the Park.
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
Collected by Brinkman, Currie, Maier in 1984–1985; reposited in the TMP
Collection methods: bulk, surface (float), sieve,
• Screenwashed elements were collected using a screen with 9 openings per centimeter.
