Occurrence(s)
No. Group Name Qty Notes
1 Snails Lunatia cf. L. lincolnensis (Weaver)
2 Snails Clinopegma n. sp. This is a most valuable find. It is the only member of this group known between C. altispirata (Nagao) from the late Eocene of Kyushu and C. eatoni (Grant and Quale) from the Temblor, and it is intermediate in form between the two. We had only a small scrap of this species previously.
3 Bivalves Ostrea tigiliana Slodkewitsch
4 Bivalves Papyridea harrimani Dall
5 Bivalves Saxidomus cf. S. hanzawai (Nagao)
6 Bivalves Spisula cf. S. callistaeformis Dall
