This report convers two collections of fossils from the Buckland-Euslia area. The fossils occur as external and internal molds in sandstone. Preservation is poor, and most of the fossils consist of scraps which cannot be identified. A shallow water marine environment is indicated, and, as some of the fossils are similar to forms from the Kukpowruk Formation, and early Cretaceous, Albian age is suggested. Both Loc. M1249 and M1250 contain the same fauna consisting of Trigonia cf. T. leana, pterid clams, and many unidentifiable scraps. I have reexamined some of last year's collections, previously identified as Buchia crassicolis. I now feel that specimens from Loc. M1054, M1055, and M1056 should be referred to B. subokensis of Berriasian age. |
