Loc. C5-C7, NW shore Maude Island (C) [Lower Sandstone Mbr, Haida Fm] (Cretaceous of Canada)

Where: British Columbia, Canada (53.3° N, 132.0° W: paleocoordinates 22.9° N, 110.8° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Haida Formation, Albian (113.0 - 100.5 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the lower sandstone member of the Haida Fm, which rests with apparent angular unconformity on the lowest or tuffaceous shale member of the Jurassic Yakoun Fm, and is overlain by the shale member, which passes up into the Honna Fm. AGE: Albian, on the basis of ammonite biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within local section.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified, concretionary, green sandstone

• ENVIRONMENT: not stated in text, but apparently shallow marine siliciclastic.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Greenish, rather coarse, feldspathic sandstone with small and large concretions. LITHIFICATION: Lithified, on the basis of facies description and figured specimens.

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression
