OSTI ID:5797595
The Maestrichtian Lewis Shale and Fox Hills Formation in south-central Wyoming were deposited during the final major transgression and regression of the North American epicontinental sea. Outcrops of these formations were examined along the margins of the Great Divide, Washakie, Hanna, and Carbon basins. Bore-hole logs from approximately 200 wells within these basins were studied and correlated with outcrops. Lists of fossils from nearly 300 localities were compiled to obtain information on paleoenvironments and to identify stratigraphic positions of fossils indicating ages of the formations.
