A new vertebrate fossil locality within the Wahweap Formation (Upper Cretaceous) of Bryce Canyon National Park and its bearing on the presence of the Kaiparowits Formation on the Paunsaugunt Plateau
Eaton JG, Munk H, Hardman MA. 1998. A new vertebrate fossil locality within the Wahweap Formation (Upper Cretaceous) of Bryce Canyon National Park and its bearing on the presence of the Kaiparowits Formation on the Paunsaugunt Plateau. NPS Paleontological Research. 3:36-40
A taxa list of specimens, including genera of sharks and rays, amphibians, reptiles, crocodiles, and mammals, recovered from both the Wahweap Formation and an uncorrelated Upper Cretaceous locality on the Paunsaugunt Plateau. The fauna recovered from the former correlate well with Wahweap fauna recovered to the east on the Kaiparowits plateau, while the fauna from the upper Cretaceous locality appears to correlate to some of the Kaiparowits Formation as expressed to the east.
