A small cirque lake lake lies about 1/4 mile south of and below the fossil horizon. Lithology of beds (from transmittal sheet of Hoare): Fossils occur in a thin bed of conglomeratic limestone which contains pebbles of chert and argillite up to 1 inch across. The limestone is interbedded with massive fine-grained graywacke with slaty interbeds. The rocks associated with the fossil horizon are thinly and evenly bedded--evidence for a quiet type of deposition. Overlying these rocks and structurally conformable is at least 200 feet of massive conglomeratic graywacke with very irregular bedding planes. Scattered cobble lenses occur in the graywacke in a most irregular fashion--evidence of a very rapid or "poured in" type of deposition; [Lat. 60.3838, Long. 158.0000, chert pebble conglomerate (description from Karl et al., 2011)]

About 1300 feet above narrow lake which lies between Lakes Upnuk and Nishlik on crest of a large ridge which projects northwestward from the main ridge between Lake Upnuk and the narrow lake just north of it. Lithology of beds (from transmittal sheet of Hoare): Fossils occur in a 10-15-foot bed of hard dark gray siliceous limestone which weathers to a dark brown color. The limestone overlies an undetermined amount of fine-grained dark graywacke with argillaceous interbeds and underlies a 10-foot bed of hard black cherty argillite with thin gray tuff bands. Above the black cherty argillite is an undetermined amount of the same type of graywacke and argillaceous rocks as lie below the limestone.

Neogondolella

Neogondolella sp. indet.

50AHr260 (Mesozoic loc. 23164) , Taylor Mts , 15 3/5 miles S. 11 deg. E. of Gemuk Mountain; 10 1/4 miles S. 10 1/2 deg. E. of outlet of Aniak Lake; 1 mile S. 53 1/2 deg. W. of outlet of lake between Nishlik and Upnuk Lakes. About 160 feet above the long narrow lake which lies between Lakes Upnuk and Nishlik; on the western side of the easternmost stream which enters the narrow lake, about 200 feet upstream of the point where bedrock is no longer exposed. Lithology of beds (from transmittal sheet of Hoare): Fossils occur in about 60 feet of black calcareous slates which contain thin white beds, thought to be volcanic ash. About 40 feet of the slaty rocks are hard and are probably tuffaceous or siliceous. The remaining 20 feet of the fossil horizon is composed of soft, almost friable slaty rocks. The well-developed fracture cleavage indicates that the rocks are overturned to the southwest. Overlying the black slates is at least 30 feet of hard crystalline limestone in beds 6 inches to 2 feet thick. Below the slates is 15 feet of coarsely-crystalline, probably tuffaceous, limestone containing shale fragments and then about 150 feet of interbedded dark gray calcareous argillite with white volcanic ash beds up to 1 inch thick and many thin gray limestone beds.; [Long. 60.3897, Long. 158.9206, limestone in black argillite (description from Karl et al., 2011)]

Halobia cf. H. septentrionalis Smith

50AHr263 (Mesozoic loc. 23165) , Taylor Mts , 16 1/3 miles S. 10 1/2 deg. E. of Gemuk Mountain; 10 1/2 miles S. 46 1/2 deg. E. of outlet of Aniak Lake; 1 1/2 miles S. 35 1/2 miles W. of outlet of lake between Nishlik and Upnuk Lakes. From the headwall of the cirque which is at the head of the easternmost stream to enter the narrow lake from the south side. Lithology of beds (from transmittal sheet of Hoare): Fossils come from massive gray crystalline limestone 100-120 feet thick, which weathers to a light gray color with a buff-colored fretwork. The limestone is probably somewhat siliceous and tuffaceous. The massive limestone horizon grades upward into 75-80 feet of interbedded buff-weathered limestone and black slates. The black slates contain gray-green beds of volcanic ash or tuff up to 3 inches thick. Above this horizon is at least 200 feet of black slaty siltstones and argillites and dark gray-green crystalline tuffs.; [Lat. 60.3838, Long. 158.9283, limestone (description from Karl et al., 2011)]
