Title: Report on Referred Fossils ,  1971 (03/17)
This report covers collection 60ACr131, transmitted to Helen Duncan in 1963 for study. It came to light during the clean-up of Miss Duncan's office on her retirement. Although any urgent need for information is doubtless past, the material has been identified to clear the records.

Referred by: Russell H. Campbell
Age: Late Mississippian (most likely Late Mississippian)
Comment:The fossil material is extremely fragmentary and silicified but undoubtedly represents a Mississippian assemblage, most likely Late Mississippian. The single horn coral, although not generically identifiable, is not a pleophyllid like the corals in 60ACr130. It belongs to a group that is common in the Mississippian. The brachiopods are clearly Mississippian and the fragmentary colonial coral (probably a lithostrotionid) strengthens this assignment.
