Title: Report on Referred Fossils ,  1974 (05/16)
This collection submitted by A. A. Almgren, Union Oil Co., 9654 So. Santa Fe Spring Road, Santa Fe Springs, Ca. 90607.
Report by: Warren O. Addicott
Referred by: A. A. Almgren
Age: Pleistocene
Comment:All of the taxa in this assemblage are still living. So far as I can determine there are no species restricted to particular parts of the Alaskan Pleistocene. The general aspect of the assemblage, however, is suggestive of a post-early Pleistocene age, but the assemblage is very small and this inference is, therefore, highly speculative.

Practically all of the specimens are represented by fragmental material which explains the very few identifications at the species level.
