DT75-200B (Paleobot. loc. 11518B) , Kenai , Mudstone above and below 3-inch ash bed bds with 2 inches lignite above and below. About 75 yards north of Clam Gulch beach path; about 30 feet above storm beach path. Kenai A-4 quadrangle; 8/25/75. N. 1/2 Sec. 29, T. 2 N., R. 12 W., Clamgulchian.
DT75-210B (Paleobot. loc. 11519) , Seldovia , Mudstone associated with 10 in. coal, 12 in. siltstone, 2 ft. coal. Good outcrop at 280 ft. elevation: near, but does not fit Barnes and Cobb's section 166 at head of Kachemak Bay. Must be within 100 ft. stratigraphically of Bed L (probably above it). Should be middle or upper Clamgulchian. Fresh ash parting but less than 1 mm thick; sample taken for possible zircons (but does not look likely).
DT75-212A (Paleobot. loc. 11520) , Seldovia , Dark shale about 3 ft. above 4 in. coal, at 430 ft. elevation on east wall of canyon containing Barnes and Cobb's section 166 at head of Kachemak Bay. Should be middle or upper Clamgulchian. About 100 ft. stratigraphically above Bed M. Ash sample from base of 4 ft. coal.
DT75-213B (Paleobot. loc. 11521-A) , Tyonek , Northwest of Cook Inlet on north bank of Chulitna river, Tyonek A-4 quadrangle. Just upstream from Barnes and Cobb's section 165, NE 1/4 NE 1/4, Sec. 29, T. 12 N., R. 11 W. Siltstone 4 in. below base of 15 coal.
