Quadrangle or area: Mt. St. Elias and Bering Glacier, Alaska
Shipment No.: A-69-20M

Date: 01/02/1970

This report summarizes paleontologic studies on the first of two shipments of invertebrate fossils from the Malaspina and Yakataga Districts submitted fro examination and report by George Plafker. The remaining collections will be studied as soon as they are prepared, probably during the next 4 to 6 weeks. This report includes all of the collections from rocks mapped as undoubted Kulthieth Formation in addition to one collection each from the Poul Creek Formation? and the Yakataga Formation. Because of the generally poor quality of preservation of these collections most of the material is doubtfully identified.
