Location description:	Ash Bend Section, Stewart River, Yukon Territory, Canada. Type section for the Reid glaciation and early Beringian Bison fossils. Located a few kilometers inside the outer limit of Reid drift, which was deposited during an extensive advance of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet across central Yukon Territory, Canada. The Reid till forms a prominent 10-m-high scarp within a thick, recessive sequence of glaciofluvial gravels at Ash Bend. Coordinates from Preece et al. (2011). Datum not specified, assumed to be NAD83.
