| Comment: | The fossils do not help in age determination, but do say a bit about the paleoenvironment. The environment was marine for sure: the two gastropods occur only in marine conditions, and the bivalve fragments are of a species that had a thick-walled, large shell more characteristic of a marine than fresh water habitat. |
