Prince Creek
Description
Source: Wikipédia
La formation de Prince Creek est une formation géologique située en Alaska (États-Unis), dont les strates sont datées du Crétacé supérieur au Paléocène, plus précisément du Campanien inférieur au Danien.
Des restes de dinosaures figurent parmi les fossiles retrouvés dans la formation, dont des os de trois espèces d'oiseaux du clade des Ornithurés (une espèce d'Ichthyornithes, une d'Hesperornithes et la dernière peut-être de Galloansérés), parmi lesquels plusieurs os d'oisillons.

Pediomys Point, Colville River : Alaska - North Slope 1245 19442 37397 73931 the Colville River extends halfway across the North Slope, but if Clemens is correct that the locality is at "approximately 70" degrees N, then it is close to the mouth of the Rikiakrorak River at about 151.5 degrees W. Described as where 70° N intersects the Colville River, therefore near Ocean Point. 8 km upstream from the Lipscomb Bonebed.- southern end, Poverty Bar : Alaska - ? 19442 68933 high bluffs just upstream from S end of Poverty Bar (large sandbar upstream, due W of Ocean Point), Colville River. 30 mi downriver (N) of Kikak-Tegoseak bonebed

The Kikak-Tegoseak Quarry is located in the extensive exposures of the Prince Creek Formation along bluffs bordering the Colville River, North Slope Borough, Alaska, USA
