Comment:	This collection consists predominantly of bioclastic calcarenite with two specimens of Rugosochonetes like those previously reported from low in the Mississippian sequence near the Ongoveyuk River. The age is presumably early Late Mississippian (Meramec equivalent). The specimen is returned in case you wish to have it checked by A.K. Armstrong for small forams.
