| Comment: | Age: The one entity present in this collection is a new species of the coniferous genus Elatides. This same species is elsewhere only known from the Nulato Formation, and was erroneously called Sequoia ambigua Heer by Hollick. A very closely related species, Elatides curvifolius (Dunker) Nathorst, is known from Aptian and older beds. On the basis of one species I cannot be certain of an age determination, but an Aptian age is probable for 61APa103B. |
