| Comment: | These collections, which I presume are from a fairly retricted stratigraphic thickness, each contain at least one faunal element diagnostic of the upper Norian. They relate most closely to faunas known from Tyaughton Creek in western British Columbia, from Vancouver Island, and from the Gabbs Formation in western Nevada. Some of the species represented, such as the species of Cycloceltites, suggest a latest late Norian age, not Rhaetian but younger than faunas typical of the Suessi Zone and the commonly occurring kinds of Monotis such as M. subcircularis. |
