I recently saw the collections of marine mammals from the Yakataga District, Alaska, that Don Miller sent to Dr. Kellogg. I recalled that some or all of the this report was not reported on by Dr. Kellog and that you were interested to know what was represented. The material is generally in poor shape and unprepared but the following identifications were possible from a very brief examination: .... The material from other localities submitted by Miller did not appear, in brief examination, to be identifiable. Should you find that the molluscan fauna of localities 54-Sn-65A and 54-Sn-217 is not consistent with the a middle to late Miocene age, I would appreciate knowing the details. |
