USA - Corvallis, Oregon 97331 1st November 1980 Dear Dr. Blodgett! Surely you know that Dr. Chamberlain has sent to me your trilobites from Alaska. I have studied them, and I can give you some information concerning their stratigraphical occurrence. Among the specimens of loc. 79WG113 I was able to identify the species Brachymetopus pseudometopina Gauri & Ramovs, 1964 (or a species closely related to the named taxon). This species comes from the Uppermost Carboniferous (Gzhelian) of the Karawanken Mountains in Yugoslavia and Austria. There I suppose that loc. 79WG113 should be group with the Upper Pennsylvanian (Missourian or Virgilian) better than the Mississippian! The trilobite from loc. 77WG203 are so badly preserved that a determination is difficult. Are I allowed to prepare them? Perhaps this will help to win some new information. The occurrence of Br. pseudometopina in Alaska is very interesting and unexpected, worthy to be published. If you are interested I will write a short paper, photograph the specimens and send the text and plate to you. You can add a notice on the geology and correct my English, and then send the manuscript to the "Journal of Paleontology" for publication. Do you agree? Yours sincerely, Prof. Dr. Gerhard Hahn

Report on Referred Fossils

This report covers 2 collections made by Wyatt Gilbert in the McGrath A-5 quadrangle, west-central Alaska. Both collections are from fine-grained clastic rocks with abundant fenestrate bryozoans, brachiopods, and a few pelecypods. The brachiopods are definitely Permian in age and the association with a variety of bryozoans, including POLYPORA, is characteristic of some parts of the lower Permian sequences elsewhere in the Alaska (for example, the east-central Alaska Range in the lower argillite member of the Eagle Creek Formation, and the Rampart Group of the Tanana-Livengood area). There are differences between the brachiopod assemblages in these two collections. Collection 77WG203, including the large CHONETINA?, RHYNCHOPORA? AND SPIRIFERELLA sp. may be a bit younger than the other, although differences may reflect environmental factors. In any case, they both appear to be Lower Permian. |
