Report on Referred Fossils
Edit Reference Add/Edit Sample Sample List Show Map
Stratigraphic range: Tertiary
Kinds of fossils: Mollusks, echinoid
Quadrangle or area: Bering Glacier, Cordova & Middleton Island quads.
Shipment No.: A-73-31Ma,b
Referred by: Plafker, George
Report prepared by: Addicott, Warren O.
Date: 12/07/1973

This report is based upon collections from the Bering Glacier 2 degrees, Cordova B-2 15 min and Middleton Island D-1 & D-2 15 min quads. made by George Plafker and others during the 1973 field season. The spatangoid echinoid from M5940 has been sent to Wyatt Durham, University of California, for further study; if it can be more precisely identified a separate report will be written.
