<br />-13- <br />CG-3 Ostrea were found weathering out of a grey shale and lay <br />scattered over the ground. <br />CG-4 Very near CG-3, Ostrea were collected in a grey shale <br />immediately above a small coal seam. <br />RB-I Unidentified plants in a carbonaceous shale. <br />RB-2 Angiosperm leaves collected from a black shale. <br />RB-3 A large piece of petrified wood was found but the source <br />could not be located. <br />MB-I Brachipods were gathered from sandstone float at the base of <br />Iles Mountain. <br />MB-2 Inoceramus and brachiopods were found as float along the base <br />• of Iles Mountain. <br />MB-3 Baculites found by Mike Burney <br />Several other specimens collected as float which have no assigned number <br />include two Inoceramus found by Joe Lazio; an unidentified fossil, per- <br />haps a seed found by Kevin Danall; a Baculites fragment found by Mike <br />Hester. <br />The most important locality is A-4 with its remarkably well pre- <br />served flora. The nature of fossilization is carbonization with even <br />the minuteous details preserved so i[ will be possible to take peels for <br />microscopic examination. There is no reason to limit the occurence of <br />this type of fossilized botanical material to just this one locality <br />because [he paleoenvironment was known to be a complex of swamps and <br /> lagoons which where nearly identical. Undoubtedly, drill cores will <br /> reveal similar stratigraphic complexes throughout much of the Colowyo <br />
