GSC C-118569, Cascade Peninsula | Arthur A. J., Smith P. L., et al (1993) | Brokenback Hill | Abundant fossils found in sandstone and tuff of Brokenback Hill Formation. The Brokenback Hill Fm ranges from upper Valanginian to middle Albian in age. All colllections have relatively fine temporal resolution however due to ammonite biostratigraphy. SPECIFIC AGE DATA: Same as for GSC C-117401. Some part of Buchia crassicollis zone and upper Valanginian in terms of international standard stages (see Jeletzky, 1965). | sandstone | 140.2 - 136.4 Ma Early/Lower Cretaceous |
