Also known as DPP, Bonebed 51

Where: Alberta, Canada (50.7° N, 111.5° W: paleocoordinates 58.1° N, 76.1° 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 meters above or below the disconformity (Fig. 2, Brinkman, 1990)."

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: channel lag; lenticular, medium-grained, intraclastic, carbonaceous sandstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collected by L. J. Strong in 1985; reposited in the TMP

Collection methods: bulk, surface (float), sieve,

• Screenwashed elements were collected using a screen with 9 openings per centimeter.
