VERIFY:period_start_mya: stored=76.9 suggested=76.5 confidence=medium — Chasmosaurus is known only from the Dinosaur Park Formation of Alberta and Saskatchewan (Campbell et al. 2016, PLOS ONE), and new CA-ID-TIMS U-Pb dating places the base of that formation at 76.470 +0.14/-0.084 Ma, with the main vertebrate-bearing interval beginning at 76.61 Ma. A start of 76.9 Ma predates the formation entirely.

VERIFY:period_end_mya: stored=75.8 suggested=75 confidence=medium — The vertebrate fossil-bearing interval of the Dinosaur Park Formation is constrained to 76.61-75.04 Ma, and Chasmosaurus belli occurs in the middle and upper beds of the formation with C. belli and C. russelli showing overlapping stratigraphic intervals (Campbell et al. 2016, PLOS ONE). An end date of 75.8 Ma truncates the genus's documented range by roughly 0.7 Myr.
