Frenchman
Description
Source: Wikipédia
The Frenchman Formation is a stratigraphic unit of Late Cretaceous (late Maastrichtian) age in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. It is present in southern Saskatchewan and the Cypress Hills of southeastern Alberta. The formation was defined by G.M. Furnival in 1942 from observations of outcrops along the Frenchman River, between Ravenscrag and Highway 37. It contains the youngest of dinosaur genera, much like the Hell Creek Formation in the United States.

Specimen RSM P 1225.1 was discovered on 19 June 1968 and collected by Albert E. Swanston of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum (then the Saskatchewan Museum of Natural History) on 17 July 1968. The original location, stated as ‘northwest of Clarks Ranch, from NW 1/4 Sec 35, T 4, R 19, west of the 3rd Meridian, Frenchman River Valley, Saskatchewan’, is incorrect. Tim Tokaryk (RSM) relocated the original site in the late 1980s (with the relocation being confirmed by the matching of a rib fragment collected at the site with a rib of the specimen, and residual plaster persisting at the site; T.T. Tokaryk, pers. comm., 2007). Located in LSD 11, Sec 2, T 5, R 19, west of the 3rd Meridian in south-western Saskatchewan (Fig. 3). The quarry is located on the north side of the Frenchman River Valley on the north-west facing side of a butte extending from the valley wall. Exact locality information is available from the RSM upon request.
