Nelson Island Fossils

   

 

Regional Map    

 

This material was collected by Union Oil and given to the USGS in the 1970s. Detailed locality information is missing and this area needs more investigation. For this reason no map is given here. The flora is typical of that of the Cenomanian-Turonian in the Yukon-Koyukuk Subregion, but includes some novel taxa.

All fossils are in the USNM collections
