, Talkeetna Mts
, These fossils were colleccted from carbonate bodies in Amphitheater Group lavas. To date, the only age control we have for this extrusive unit are in the very uppermost part near Clearwater Gulch to the east. There, Halobia and Monotis document an Upper Triassic age. These collections are from the lowermost part of the flow sequence (107, 109) and the middle (63). I hope they may establish the onset of Triassic volcanism. No detailed geographic information given in E&R, but transmittal sheet has accompanying map which shows locality in NE1/4 Sec. 18, T33N, R9E of Talkeetna Mtns. D-3 quadrangle.

, Talkeetna Mts
, This collection is from a carbonate unit within a pillow lava sequence. This terrane contains both Triassic and Late Paleozoic lava sequences. I believe the host rocks of this collection are correlative with the Amphitheater Group some miles to the northeast (Triassic).
