Title: Report on Referred Fossils ,  1962 (01/04)
The following report covers 51 collections of fossils from the Alaska Peninsula collected and donated to the Survey by C.A. Burk. Among the most noteworthy among these fossils are the Inoceramus scraps from the "Nagai" formation (Ms. name) of the Shumagin Islands. These rocks had previously been shown as Tertiary volcanics on the Geologic Map of Alaska. Although the Inoceramus scraps are not specifically identifiable, they are similar to other fossils found elsewhere in the slate and graywacke belt of southern Alaska, and probably are indicative of a Jurassic to Cretaceous age.
