***
Brief statement of problem and remarks (from collector):
All but 64AMm from isolated exposures of wackes. Any age significance will contribute to sparse faunal data from terrane. 65AMm (165 deg. 20'W, 68 deg. 12'30"N) collected from intervals of measured section of Buchia-bearing Kissimilok Fm; section will probably be the referrence for the formation; Base up: E-234', G-580-680J. (Measurement of interval may be modified)
