Transmitter: D.M. Hopkins
District or County: Kachemak Bay, Cook Inlet
Quadrangle: Seldovia B-5
Collector(s) & year(s): D.M Hopkins, Jack Wolfe, R.A.M Schmidt
Field locality number(s): H256, H257

Brief statement of problem, and remarks: These are a new collection from an old locality for Jurassic fossils from rocks resembling the Talkeetna volcanics exposed along the south coast of Kachemak Bay between Port Graham and Seldovia Bay. Although an age diagnosis will be useful, the collection is submitted principally to call Dr. Imlay's attention to the existence of what seems to be a rather rich locaity in the Jurassic rocks of the Cook Inlet basin.
Specimens were collected in thin-bedded green tuff containing abundant shells and coalified wood exposed in beach cliffs just west (H256) and just east (H257) of an exposed cross-section across a buried valley of Miocene age incised in the Jurassic bedrock.
Sparse clams were also seen, but not collected at H258, at west portals of Seldovia Bay.

Locations: H256 59 deg. 26.3'N., 151 deg. 48.8'W.; H257 59 deg. 26.6'N., 151 deg. 47.1'W.; H258 59 deg. 26.7'N., 151 deg. 45.5'W.

[Transmittal also provides this description for localty H258 (not collected): 59 deg. 26.7N., 151 deg. 45.5'W. Probably the same as locality 908 (2982) of Martin, Johnson, and Grant.]
