Where: Alberta, Canada (54.3° N, 118.8° W: paleocoordinates 62.3° N, 92.5° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Paskapoo Formation, Early/Lower Paleocene (66.0 - 61.7 Ma)

• Approximately 5 feet above the volcanic tuff layer.

•Previously assigned Wapiti Formation

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: pond; gray siltstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: adpression, original carbon

Collection methods: quarrying, surface (in situ),

• The diversity of the flora was not realized until late in the study, and thus many angiosperm leaves, which may later prove present at the site in statistically significant quantities, are either omitted from this paper or treated as Incertae sedis because of the small number of specimens collected.
