Also known as microvertebrate, DPP, Bonebed 107

Where: Alberta, Canada (50.8° N, 111.5° W: paleocoordinates 58.1° N, 76.1° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Oldman Formation (Belly River Group), Middle 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)" where positive numbers are above and negative below.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: crevasse splay; fine-grained, medium sandstone and carbonaceous siltstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collected by C. Page; reposited in the TMP

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

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