Report by: Ralph W. Imlay
Referred by: David A. Brew
Age: Kimmeridgian-Tithonian (late Kimmeridgian - early Tithonian)
Formation: Seymour Canal Formation
Comment:The presence of the bivalves Buchia rugosa (Fischer) and B. mosquensis (Von Buch) at locality 82DB069A is evidence for an age ranging from late Kimmeridgian to early late Tithonian (see Prof. Paper 1062, p. 25).
The small ammonite from locality 82DB066A does not resemble any Jurassic genus and accordingly will be sent to Norm Silberling at Denver, Colorado.
