A number of coral collections are reported on here. I would like to have more material from 1801, 1473 and 1511 as these are particularly interesting. I note indications that not all of the corals in some collections were sent. This is objectionable as it makes it more difficult to answer some kinds of questions. Any time that I am asked to give the age of a collection I am entitled to have all pertinent information and material. |

| Comment: | Probably late Middle or Late Ordovician. Two fragments of this are the whole collection. Preservation is poor but the only thing like it that I know of is REUSCHIA. This occurs in the Seward Peninsula below the typical BIGHORNIA assemblage and is late Middle or early Late Ordovician in age. Elsewhere it may range somewhat younger. |
