Taxonomic list comments:apparently the locality "near Steveville" or near "Little Sandhill Creek" visited by B. Brown, Lambe, and Sternberg Steveville does not appear on modern maps, but Berry Creek joins the Red Deer River west of modern-day Wardlow this locality apparently is just northwest of Dinosaur Provincial Park, and appears to have been included in a general "Dinosaur Park Formation" list for the park given by Eberth et al. 2001; the additional taxa listed by these authors are: Cimexomys judithae Cimolodon electus Cimolodon similis Cimolomys clarki additional Cimolomyidae indet. cf. Deltatheroides sp. Alphadon halleyi Turgidodon russelli Pediomys clemensi additional Pediomys sp. Paranyctoides sternbergi Cimolestes sp. additional Palaeoryctidae indet. |
