B., et al (2007) | Edmonton - Horseshoe Canyon | located between Carbon & Thompson coal zones (seams 11 & 12); middle of unit 5 within Fm., = upper 20 m of Fm., 13.5 m above base | "shale" | 70.6 - 66 Ma Late/Upper Cretaceous |
| Pisces Point | Murray A. M., Newbrey M. G., et al (2016) | Scollard | about 1–2 m above the base of the formation, just above the Kneehills Tuff in the Battle Formation, dated to 66.5-67Ma from K/Ar by Eberth 1997. | sandstone | 70.6 - 66 Ma Late/Upper Cretaceous |
| Theropod Knob | Evans D. C., Vavrek M. J., et al (2015) | Scollard | Lower 4m of formation, likely derived from an interval 1–2 m above the base of the Scollard Formation, part of an inclined heterolithic stratification deposit that overlies a lower interval of clean sandstone (all part of a single channel succession).
