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.
