Also known as Record 67

Where: Douglas County, Oregon (43.0° N, 123.1° W: paleocoordinates 41.2° N, 72.2° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Days Creek Formation, Valanginian (139.8 - 132.9 Ma)

• From Days Creek Formation. This is possibly a component of the Myrtle Group. The Myrtle Group consists of Late Jurassic and Early to Middle Cretaceos turbidite and mass flow deposits considered to be either arc basin and or post-orogenic flysch basins syntectonic with waning phases of arc collapse. Macrofossil biostratigraphy suggests an Early-Middle Valanginian age.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: basinal (); lithified wackestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: quarrying,

• Unknown collector (WR?). Collections presumably reposited at USGS Menlo Park or USNM.
