| The Coke’s Clemmys fossil locality (CC) is ~10.3 m above the top of the MCZ coal and is directly on top of the 2330 coal (Fig. 2). Between the MCZ and the 2330 coal at this locality is ~10 m of alternating siltstone and mudstone ...the 2330 coal, which here is ~0.5 m thick and contains one tephra (bentonite) layer that was sampled for 40Ar/39Ar analysis and dated to 65.802+/- 0.116 Ma. | within a cross-bedded sandstone at the base of the channel deposit. The channel locally cuts down into the 2330 coal | ROM,UCMP,UWBM |
