(In consultation with J.T. Dutro, Jr.). The follwoing collections are listed and discussed in the order in which they appear on the submittal form. Your data with my identifications strongly suggests that the first three collections are early Late Devonian (Frasnian) in age. The fourth collection is definitely Frasnian also. The last two collections are Middle Devonian.
