JS101B-71 , Mt Hayes , All fossil material was collected from a single outcrop of dark-grey limestone which is interbedded with several hundred feet of sandstone, conglomerate and shale. The latter rocks show good tops evidence but are unfossiliferous. Ferruginous sandstone with enclosed ammonite(?) is float block from beds adjacent to the limestone referred to above.

reminds Imlay of Upper Cretaceous genus Eupachydiscus
or some Lower Cretaceous ammonites described as Acanthoplites
