[edit] "Kirkpatrick Basalt Formation" ?????
There is no formal stratigraphic unit called the "Mount Kirkpatrick Formation". There are a number of Formations that are exposed at Mount Kirkpatrick which include the Kirkpatrick Basalt, Prebble Formation, Hanson Formation, and Falla Formation. The fossil bearing horizon which produced the dinosaur is in the Hanson Formation. The confused terminology is a major problem with the whole theme of this entry in particular the title.
[edit] Change the name !
This page should be retitled "Hanson Formation" or "Mount Kirkpatrick Fossil Locality" since there is no such thing as the "Mount Kirkpatrick Formation"
