Summary of microfossil investigations, April 1948 to April 1949 with special reference to the south Barrow and Simpson areas

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of microfossil investigations for he past year. It includes the microfossil data from the two South Barrow Test Wells and studies of samples from outcrop material an from seismograph shot holes. In addition, new information bearing on the special study of microfossils from the Cape Simpson area is presented. The ostracoda that have been recently studies are discussed in a separate report by Professor R. M. Swain.

Regional interpretation of the geology of the Kongakut - Firth Rivers area, Alaska

In 1952 the National Park Service became interested in setting aside a large wilderness area in northeastern Alaska. The area is approximately 7,000 square miles in size, with boundaries as follows: beginning at Camden Bay south along the Katakturuk River to lat. 68° N.; then east to long. 144° 33' W.; south to lat. 68° N.; then east to the Canadian Boundary. The two river areas which the Park Service is most interested in examining for ecology, botany, archaeology, and geology are the upper Firth and Kongakut Rivers.
