Shipment No.: A-80-14
Referred by: Detterman, Robert L.
Report prepared by: Dutro, J. Thomas, Jr.
Date: 08/21/1980

Both collections in this shipment are of post-Permian age. The collection with the large amount of coralline material (80ADt173) is Upper Triassic, perhaps Norian. The yellow-weathering calcareous sandstone (80ADt175) is probably Lower Jurassic.
George Stanley is examining the corals and will give additional details later. I am turning the other collection over to Ralph Imlay who will report on it together with the other Jurassic collections which you are shipping him.
This report confirms our telephone conversation of 8/20/80.
