Sample: Sample No. 50AHr263 -- USGS No. Mesozoic loc. 23165
Locality: Field No. 50AHr263
Description: 16 1/3 miles S. 10 1/2o E. of Gemuk Mountain; 10 1/2 miles S. 46 1/2o E. of outlet of Aniak Lake; 1 1/2 miles S. 35 1/2 miles W. of outlet of lake between Nishlik and Upnuk Lakes. From the headwall of the cirque which is at the head of the easternmost stream to enter the narrow lake from the south side. Lithology of beds (from transmittal sheet of Hoare): Fossils come from massive gray crystalline limestone 100-120 feet thick, which weathers to a light gray color with a buff-colored fretwork. The limestone is probably somewhat siliceous and tuffaceous. The massive limestone horizon grades upward into 75-80 feet of interbedded buff-weathered limestone and black slates. The black slates contain gray-green beds of volcanic ash or tuff up to 3 inches thick. Above this horizon is at least 200 feet of black slaty siltstones and argillites and dark gray-green crystalline tuffs.; [Lat. 60.3838, Long. 158.9283, limestone (description from Karl et al., 2011)]

Three faunas are present in these collections. The youngest is marked by Aucella crassicollis Keyserling and is of Lower Cretaceous age. The next older is an Upper Triassic assemblage with Pseudomonotis subcircularis Gabb, of Noric age. The third is also Upper Triassic and is marked by Halobia, of Karnic age. One lot contains reworked Later Paleozoic bryozoans.
