| Comment: | Furer, L.C., and Amoco Oil Co., 2019, Appendix B: Paleontology data, in Furer, L.C., Fehlmann, R.H., Taylor, A.M., Self, G.W., and Amoco Oil Co., Data compilation of the 1971 field party, southeast Brooks Range and Fort Yukon, Alaska; Vol 1: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Geologic Materials Center Data Report 464B. https://doi.org/10.14509/30394 (p. 16) Grab samples FCH 670-674 were made at this locality in 1971 and samples 8600 and 8601 were taken in 1972. The 1971 grab samples have previously been reported, but are repeated here for the sake of completeness. This stromatoporoid buildup can be assigned to the Smoke Creek Member of the Hunt Fork Formation, a new unit to be defined in a later report. Although smal in area the FCH 674 Reef is probably more than 400 feet thick (estimated) and has a well developed core of massive stromatoporoid framestone. Intergrowths of corals and stromatoporoids are also present. Amoco's megafossil collections are now supposed to be reposited at the Sam Noble Museum, Univ. Oklahoma in Norman, OK. |
