Kishenehn Formation
The Kishenehn Formation is a Paleogene stratigraphic unit in Montana. Fossil amiiforme and teleost fish have been found in outcrops of the formation's Coal Creek Member in Glacier National Park.[1] Mosquitos have also been found in the Coal Creek Member, and have been found to be hematophagous. It is considered a Middle Eocene Lagerstätte.[2]

gollark: I generally get AP ones, so it's more like 5 days for me.
gollark: If I get back into it, I plan to overdocument all of my process.
gollark: I don't have any NDs, but I have done a lot of experiments and made some (which I traded off).
gollark: I have so many stupidly messy things I could breed a CB prize with.
gollark: Fun Things to Do With a CB Prize:- breed with random high-gen messy- breed with own children- randomly dump 2Gs in the AP or offer them on trades for low-value stuff- ND the 2Gs- give the 2Gs only to those who figure out the answer to a riddle
