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.

Small light brown box with an image on the lid of a kneeling Mountie inside a circle looking through binoculars. 'Odds and Ends' is printed in cursive above the circle, and 'Kitimat Canada' is printed to the lower right. There is a jagged triangular pattern along 3 edges of the lid and around the circle, the latter of which also has a border of white, blue, red, and yellow stripes. The lid has two hinges, each in a fanciful shape with six curls and three dots; this shape is mirrored on the top of the lid and the back side of the box. At the front of the box there is a cardboard latch with a snap button to close up the box. Inside the box are more decorative shapes and the name 'KEITH WYN WILLIAMS,' with each letter inside an ovalesque gold sticker.
