The deposit is Late Campanian in age (about 74 million years old). There are 30 species of sharks identified and 17 species were newly named in a 2019 paper. (“A Shark Fauna from the Campanian of Hornby Island, British Columbia, Canada: an insight into the diversity of Cretaceous deep-water assemblages” by Cappetta, Morrison and Adnet) These deep water species belong to the Chlamydoselachiformes, Hexanchiformes, Squaliformes, and Echinorhiniformes. They include the rare and highly sought after Chlamydoselachus or Frill shark teeth.
