Stratigraphy, petrology, and provenance of the Albian Blackleaf Formation and the Cenomanian to Turonian lower part of the Frontier Formation in part of Beaverhead and Madison Counties, Montana

Petrologic and paleocurrent data support an interpretation that Blackleaf and lower Frontier debris was derived from different source areas. -from Authors
