Sample: Sample No. 92AD43D
Locality: Field No. 92AD43D
Description: Howard Pass C-4. Lat. 68o 32'53" N., Long. 158o 06'35" W. Sample from 4-cm-thick, evenly bedded, brownish-gray, peloidal lime grainstone containing possible mud intraclasts. Thin section is peloid-skeletal grainstone with abundant calcispheres and local fenestral fabric. Collected from unnamed Devonian limestone unit (Dl), near base of approx. 20-m-thick section of carbonate mudstone overlying less resistant, approx. 4-m-thick fossiliferous interval. (description from Dover et al., 2004, p. 32 (Table 1)); [Howard Pass C-4. 68°32'52", 158°06'40". 4 cm-thick, even-bedded, brownish-gray peloidal limestone with mud intraclasts(?).
Collected from unnamed Devonian limestone (Dls) unit, near base of ~20-m-thick carbonate mudstone overlying less resistant, ~4-cm-thick fossiliferous unit.
Collected ~2.5 miles north (and slightly west) of 92AD42 (probably part of the same unit), from 40 m+ high prominent white pinnacle of carbonate mudstone, ~1.75 miles due north of Kuna River and ~5 miles west of Story Creek; center sec. 25, T. 10 S., R. 27 W. (description from Harris E&R reports dated Jan. 25, 1995 (Shipment no. A-95-3a) and March 17, 1995 (Shipment no. A-95-3)]

Analysis of all samples is given in the accompanying 16-page table. The range of biostratigraphically important samples is shown on the accompanying diagram. The heavy-mineral concentrates were analyzed by Nancy Stamm; the residues have been returned to Julie Dumoulin. Please note a few (~4 samples have heavy-mineral concentrates that include chalcopyrite and bornite).

All conodont analyses and samples and residue weights are given in the attached tables. The age range of all samples is graphically shown on the accompanying diagram.

Please give a copy of this report to Jim Dover and anyone else on the Howard Pass project that needs these data. I will do all the Carboniferous samples while in Florida.
