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.

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.

Growth from Larch Polypore: L.L. found at Kemano River. The woody substance was pulped up and boiled and drank as a remedy against tuberculosis. It looks like a weathered piece of wood picked up from
the beach.
Sitka Spruce is written on it in black marker.
