This report covers three collections, two from rocks west of Doc Creek and a third from the Plateau Mtn. area. The first two collections do not really contain diagnostic fossils, but, by comparing them with collections made nearby in 1978, they are likely Early Mississippian. The third collection also has no diagnostic fossils, but is lithologically similar to nearby rocks which have yielded Late Devonian (Frasnian) fossils. |

Comment: | This collection contains only indeterminate echinoderm debris and small, unidentifiable rhynchonelloid brachiopods. Similar shells occur in rocks like these, and have yielded diagnostic Early Mississippian faunas, west of Doc Creek. |
