Report on Referred Fossils

This report covers eight collections of fossils from unnamed Lower Cretaceous and undivided Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks. Most of the fossils are poorly preserved and fragmentary, but the presence of Buchia crassicollis (Keyserling) indicates Lower Cretaceous (mid-to- late Valanginian) strata. |

| Comment: | No diagnostic fossils have been found in the Telavirak Formation. Two collections of Lebenspuren were examined by P.E. Cloud, Jr., who concludes that the fossils are long-lived types. He notes (written commun., 1961) the association of similar forms with flysch-facies rocks in other areas and suggests that the fauna may represent deposition at bathyal or even possibly abyssal depths. Two other collections of poorly preserved fragmentary fossil material were examined by David L. Jones, of the Geological Survey, who reports (written commun., 1961): As the Telavirak Formation is overlain by strata of Early Cretaceous age and, together with the Ogotoruk Formation, lies above Upper Triassic rocks, it is assigned a Jurassic or Cretaceous age.
