5 rocks. All rocks found in adjoinging gully to Whittlesey Street. A check, however, did not prove colclusive. The material was most likely dumped with the topsoil and was lying on top of much younger material. Concretious (shale-like material) very similar to Smither-Buckley Valley year-old bridge.

Marine shell fragments - from Remo Road, Terrace, two miles west of rail overpass. Indicated on geological map of Terrace, Map 1136 A, 1964, Survey & Mapping - likely Permian and in argillacious limestone.

Shell, Triton, Hairy, Picked up at Hirsch Creek before its junction with the Kitimat River, imbedded in earth in one of the steep benches. Obviously a marine shell. Fits with our collections: 70-3, 76-28. An early post-glacial shell from when the ocean rushed into the Kit. Valley at least to Williams Creek due to depression of land by still big ice masses.

Fossilized rock: Showing sllicifyed or calzified leaves of Teritary times. Picked up from behind Dragon Lake Nass Valley. Pretty much the same price as 75-81 from Kiteen River, same area and 70-179

2 Pebble Tools: 6 pebble choppers were found at Moon Bay (Mickey's cove) mud slide caused (Ap. 25, '75) by high tide level, dredging operations of Rivtow Striats Co., we took photographs of all the choppers numbered. 1-6, ours #6 on photo, greatest length, 5 1/2 width 4". 2 (likely)
percussion impacts visible on reverse side.
