Samples 7-1-85A through E were collected in a traverse up a hill that starts in one klippe and end in an overlying klippe based on Sainsbury’s mapping. Collections in sec. 25, T. 2 N., R. 42 W., lat. 65 deg. 32.8 min., long. 167 deg. 18.5 min., Teller C-5 quadrangle.

Samples 7-1-85G through J are from a section that spans the contact between 01 and the overlying 0sh1 units of Sainsbury. Sec. 18, T. 1 N., R. 40 W., lat. 65 deg. 29.6 min., long. 167 deg. 04.5 min., Teller B-5 quadrangle.

Samples 7-3-85A through G are from a measured section in the 01 unit of Sainsbury (1969) along an unnamed creek between the Don and Lost Rivers, sec. 11, T. 1 S., R. 40 W., lat. 65 deg. 25.1 min., long. 167 deg. 01.5 min., Teller B-5 quadrangle.

Sainsbury’s 01 unit is, in its middle and lower(?) part, largely of low Fauna D (early Arenigian) age and was deposited on a shelf or platform under chiefly normal marine, though somewhat warm-water conditions. Where 01 is not separated by a fault from 01sh, the highest beds within 01 are of very earliest Middle Ordovician age and were deposited in slightly cooler water than underlying beds. The lower 50 m or so of the overlying 01sh unit were deposited during the very latest Arenigian or earliest Llanvirnian (=very earliest Middle Ordovician) in even cooler and deeper waters.

This finishes all the collections I made in 1985 and only about 10-15 samples collected by Dumoulin, Till, & Patton remain. These are still being processed. Now all I have to do is finish writing up the samples I collected on the Seward in 1984. I must be moving too slowly for life in the fast lane.
