- Comments
- EgPm-VP, Aquitaine Pit: The pit for the basement of a building owned by Aquitaine Company of Canada revealed two sets of cross-bedded sand and gravels, part of the Bighill Creek Formation, and yielded part of a female bison skeleton from the upper set. GSC-3065 is slightly more recent than other dates from this formation, but it is within reasonable bounds.
