• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Nemegt Formation, Maastrichtian (72.1 - 66.0 Ma)

• From the Upper White Beds (NemegtFormation).

•from the "Upper White Beds" (ref 35934), which is confusing because the upper beds of the formation are usually called the "Red Beds" and ref 41448 says that the Red Bed is the fossiliferous layer.
