Stratigraphic range: Upper Devonian and ?
Kinds of fossils: Corals
Quadrangle or area: Chandalar and Philip Smith Quads., Alaska
Shipment No.: A-74-14
Referred by: Reiser, H. N.
Report prepared by: Oliver, William A., Jr.
Date: 11/13/1974

This report convers five collections that include corals. Four are apparently Late Devonian in age (three on the basis of contained corals, one on stratigraphic position); the fifth is Silurian or Devonian.

The two collections 92B and 96 each contain only one significant specimen. Each specimen has peculiarities that make me hesitate to name or date it but both may be stratigraphically useful if they can be dated. Large collections from these localities and horizons will be welcome and additional age data would be useful if available.
