Reference

Title:	Report on Referred Fossils , 1984 (05/14)
	These five collections have no invertebrate megafossils that could give definitive ages. One collection has a large amount of bone (83DB231A) that may be identifiable. Three collections have similar, poorly preserved cross-sections of indeterminate orthocones and one of these has a tabulate coral of "pre-Carboniferous aspect." All three might be about the same age (83DB232A, 83DB233A and 83DB229A). The fifth collection (83DB230A) has no recognizable organic debris. All collections will be turned over to Anita Harris for processing for possible conodonts.
