GSC Loc. 69170 - Scatter River [Lepine Fm] (Cretaceous of Canada)

Where: British Columbia, Canada (59.6° N, 124.7° W: paleocoordinates 61.5° N, 71.8° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Lepine Formation, Late/Upper Albian (105.3 - 99.6 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Lepine Fm, which conformably overlies the Tussock Member of the Scatter Formation in the type area and is gradationally overlain by the Sikanni Formation. The Lepine Member is included in the Buckinghorse Formation where the underlying Scatter Formation is no longer recognizable. The Lepine is equivalent to the Hasler Formation of the Pine River region. AGE: Middle to Late Albian, on the basis of ammonite biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Collected from talus from just above the top of the Scatter sandstone beds.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified siliciclastic sediments

• ENVIRONMENT: Not reported in text, but apparently marine siliciclastic.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Siliciclastic. LITHIFICATION: Lithified, on the basis of figured specimens.

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression

Reposited in the GSC

Collection methods: surface (in situ),

• COLLECTOR: Not stated in text. REPOSITORY: Geological Survey of Canada (GSC).
