Title:	Report on Referred Fossils , 1964 (11/25)

Report by:	David L. Jones
Referred by:	Irv L. Tailleur


Age:	Middle Jurassic (probably Middle Jurassic)






Comment:	Oil shale with large fragments of Inoceramus and very slender belemnites. The Inoceramus have the linguloid shape and ornamentation typical of Middle Jurassic forms, but no hinge lines are preserved so positive identification cannot be made. The belemnite is also a form commonly found in Middle Jurassic rocks.
