Nonmarine Mollusca are the most abundant animal macrofossil of                  Paleocene continental strata in western North America.  Their                   biochronologic potential, however, has yet to be realized due primarily         to the lack of study focused on the determination of the                        biostratigraphic ranges of taxa in thick sequences of strata                    temporally-controlled by correlation with fossil mammals.  This study           will complete a biostratigraphic zonation of Puercan and Torrejonian            Strata (early and middle Paleocene) in the Crazy Mountains Basin,               Montana where the number of molluscan and mammalian localities are              particularly numerous.  This zonation will be biochronologically                correlated with mollusk-and mammal-bearing strata of similar age in the         Fort Peck area of Montana, and the Cypress Hills and Big Muddy areas of         Saskatchewan.  The Puercan, Torrejonian, and early Tiffanian age strata         composite section will be temporally overlapped with the richly                 fossiliferous Tiffanian (upper Paleocene) strata of the Little Missouri         River section in southwestern North Dakota.  The composite section will         provide the first overall nonmarine molluscan biochronology for the             Paleocene of North America, and will specifically serve as a reference          section for both mollusks and mammals in the northern Great Plains.
