Abstract
The Edmonton Formation is distributed in southern Alberta east of the foothills. Lithologically it consists of sandstones, siltstones, shales, and several coal seams. The maximum thickness of the formation varies between 1000 and 1200 ft on the plains. The Edmonton Formation is mainly Maestrichtian in age and is overlain unconformably by the Paskapoo Formation (Paleocene) and underlain conformably by the Bearpaw Formation (Campanian). This note formally describes and reports the occurrence of a new species belonging to a new genus in the lower member of the Edmonton Formation. The slides containing holotype and the illustrated specimens are preserved in the Palynology Laboratory, Department of Geology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
