At 1400 hours on 10/13/2018, I collected a number of specimens from the Tullock Member of the Fort Union Formation. The location is about a mile north of Miles City. The rock is fine silty clay with leaves and twigs mixed into the sediment. Above the strata is a layer of cattails forming a matted layer. Source for leaf identification came from Reproductive and Vegetative Organs of Browniea gen. n. (Nyssaceae) from the
Paleocene of North America
