Also known as Field No. 16, Bed 36

Where: Northwest Territories, Canada (67.9° N, 135.4° W: paleocoordinates 70.6° N, 65.7° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Lower Member (Mount Goodenough Formation), Barremian (129.4 - 125.0 Ma)

• 140-150 ft of shale, 888-952 ft above base of section; from Crioceras cf. remondi biozone; classified as "lower member" of "upper shale-siltstone division" in Jeletzky (1958); reassigned to "Mount Goodenough Formation" following Fowler and Braun (1993). Both Jeletzky (1958) and Fowler and Braun (1993) assign this biozone to a Barremian age.

Environment/lithology: offshore; poorly lithified, concretionary, black, brown, gray, silty shale and sandy shale

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: concretion

Reposited in the GSC

Collection methods: surface (float),

• Collected by Jeletzky; presumably reposited in GSC collections
