Shell, one part of bi-valve, belonging to Limonidae, 1/2" long only one of this species found on April 7, '81 on Sandhill Kitimat at about 200' elevation. Several other common species found at same elevation, accessioned but put into same box (plus 2 "odd rocks" very worth but likely older fossils) Similar shells found farther up the Kitimat Valley were carbon dated at 9-10,000 years B.P.see geological report by Clague.

Early post glacial shells from the time when the ocean rushed into the Kitimat Valley to the 700 level. Shells are from Mickey's Cove (Moon Bay) South Northern Dock. The shells were exposed by the April 27, 1975 land-sea slide at Mickey's Cove, where "Rivtow Straits" had worked on new docking facilities. The slide started in the bush higher up and the shell slid down with it, indicating same as at Rod and Gun Club, that the sea level was much higher pretty recently. The shells are not fossilized.
Jingle shells (Pododesmus) 76-28-1 & -2, Small seallop (Chlamys) 76-28-3, Small Clam 76-28-4 & -5, Tube Worm 76-28-6, Clam 76-28-7 & 8, Clams 76-28-9 to -13
18 vials, some numbered, some not.
