Replication Data for: Late Cretaceous Vertebrates of the Manitoba Escarpment

This dataset (SuppMat5) contains a catalogue of over 6,500 marine vertebrate specimens collected from Upper Cretaceous geologic units exposed along the Manitoba escarpment in east-central Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba and housed in Canadian institutions. Information was collected from museum catalogues and verified through in-person collection surveys between March 2020 and September 2021. Associated specimen information provided in this catalogue includes: 1) Institutional (host museum, specimen number); 2) Taxonomic (class, order, family, genus, and species); 3) Taphonomic (articulation style, identified skeletal elements, estimated skeletal completeness); 4) Biostratigraphic (lithostratigraphic formation, member, unit, and geologic age); 5) locality (region collected from); and for select specimens, 6) associated publications; and 7) ecological information (tooth guild, minimum and maximum body mass estimates). Specimens are grouped by represented individuals, except for select specimens of chondrichthyan teeth collected from the Ashville and Favel formations.Biostratigraphic correlations made between the Upper Cretaceous vertebrate faunal assemblages of Manitoba and those of other Western Interior Seaway localities across North America using this dataset and provided museum catalogues are included as tables in a separate file (SuppMat6).
