Members
- Telegraph Creek – The lowest member, it represents mudstone deposited just offshore in a marine setting. It has produced the ammonite index fossil Desmoscaphites bassleri (Payenberg et al. 2002), which has an age of ~84.5 Ma.
- Virgelle – Overlying the Telegraph Creek Member, it is a massive cliff-forming yellow to white sandstones. It was deposited in a shoreface environment, including beach, etc. (Payenberg et al. 2002).
- Deadhorse Coulee – Consists of shales, siltsones, sandstones, and coal beds. The Member was deposited in rivers, floodplains and swamps. Most of the vertebrate fossils come from this member.
There are some dinosaur remains from the Formation, but these are not very well known. A more concerted effort at locating specimens would undoubtedly produce many new taxa.

Famous quotes containing the word members:
“The members of a body-politic call it “the state” when it is passive, “the sovereign” when it is active, and a “power” when they compare it with others of its kind. Collectively they use the title “people,” and they refer to one another individually as “citizens” when speaking of their participation in the authority of the sovereign, and as “subjects” when speaking of their subordination to the laws of the state.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
“This will not be disloyalty but will show that as members of a party they are loyal first to the fine things for which the party stands and when it rejects those things or forgets the legitimate objects for which parties exist, then as a party it cannot command the honest loyalty of its members.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“This Administration has declared unconditional war on poverty and I have come here this morning to ask all of you to enlist as volunteers. Members of all parties are welcome to our tent. Members of all races ought to be there. Members of all religions should come and help us now to strike the hammer of truth against the anvil of public opinion again and again until the ears of this Nation are open, until the hearts of this Nation are touched, and until the conscience of America is awakened.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
