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.
