CRETACEOUS VERTEBRATES FROM THE ANDERSON RIVER N.W.T.

Vertebrate remains have been recovered from two horizons in late Cretaceous strata along the east bank of the Anderson River at latitude 69 °N. The lower horizon has produced a fauna very similar to that of the Niobrara Chalk in western Kansas, including mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and abundant toothed...
