Reference
Title: Report on Referred Fossils ,  1961 (07/20)
Report by: F. Stearns MacNeil
Referred by: Charles E. Kirschner
Age: Miocene
Formation: Yakataga Formation
Comment:Age: Yakataga formation. This appears to be the same horizon as D346(T) and therefore in the lower part of the Yakataga. If this is verified in your drilling I would like to know it because the Argobuccinum has promise of being a good marker.
