Closest comparisons of this flora are with the Upper Peace River, Joli Fou,
and Viking Formations of central and northern Alberta (Norris 1967; Singh
1971) which are marine units containing elements of the late Middle Albian
Gastroplites fauna and the Haplophragmoides gigas microfauna which perhaps
ranges into the the earliest Late Albian. First appearances of dicotyledonous
pollen in the Moose River Basin during this interval are in accord with this
age.
It is noteworthy that Lophotriletes babsae (restricted to the Tigrisporites-T.
humilis zone) first appears at the base of the marine Middle Albian
