VERIFY:period_end_mya: stored=74.5 suggested=75.1 confidence=medium — New CA-ID-TIMS U–Pb geochronology places the Prosaurolophus maximus–Styracosaurus albertensis assemblage zone at 75.77–75.10 Ma, so the taxon's youngest occurrence is about 75.1 Ma rather than 74.5 Ma. This agrees with Holmes et al. (2020), who restrict S. albertensis to an interval of roughly 75.3–74.8 Ma in the upper Dinosaur Park Formation.
