This report covers four fossil collections from the area northeast of Shellabarger Pass as follows: 69AR 17, 69AR 104, 69AR 107, 69AR 122.

Geological age: The Manticoceras at loc. 69AR 104 and the Cyrtospirifer at loc. 69AR 107B provide good evidence of Upper Devonian. The faunas of the other localities give no definitive evidence, but are probably Devonian.

Identification of the Manticoceras was in consultation with David L. Jones.
