Comment:p. 60-61

Fragments of fossil invertebrates were found in shales of the Nushagak Hills by Davison at three localities within a mile of one another. None of these were found in place, but the absence of glaciation in these hills precludes the possibility that the fossils of other than local origin. The exact localities of these fossils, together with their identifications by J.B. Reeside, Jr., of the Geological Survey, are given below:

"These three collections contains fragments of Inoceramus sp. A specimen found in collection 31ADt75-A suggests an Upper Cretaceous age, and my best guess is that the material is of that age" (quotation from Reeside)
