Also known as MVA(F)85-170

Where: British Columbia, Canada (49.5° N, 122.0° W)

• Paleocoordinates: 51.6° N, 52.9° W (Wright 2013)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Brokenback Hill Formation, Hauterivian (132.6 - 125.8 Ma)

• Grey tuffaceous sandstone of Brokenback Hill Formation. The Brokenback Hill Fm ranges from upper Valanginian to middle Albian in age. All colllections have relatively fine temporal resolution however due to ammonite biostratigraphy. SPECIFIC AGE DATA: Contains Inoceramus paraketzovi, which indicates a late Hauterivian age, although Arthur et al. suggest a possible Barremian-late Hauterivian age. Entered as Hauterivian following interpretation of Arthur et al.'s discussion.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; tuffaceous, gray sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Reposited in the GSC

Collection methods: quarrying,

• Collections made in 1985by A.J. Arthur and P.L. Smith; collections reposited in the GSC.
