Stratigraphy
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | coal |
| Lithology description: The local top of the Upper Edmonton is marked by the Ardley Coal Seam, there are thin beds of coal within the central part and the remainder is light colored sandstone and siltstone, with local lenses of more argillaceous and ferruginous strata. Shales, clays, and coal samples were collected which yielded a rich microfloral assemblage. Sc 2-5 is from a coal bed. | |
| Environment: | mire/swamp |

| Modes of preservation: | coalified,original sporopollenin |
| Size of fossils: | microfossils |
