REGISTER OF FOSSIL COLLECTIONS CITED
Field numbers have the prefix JFM and show date of collecting by first two digits for year, next for month, and last for day. Localities are defined by distances and bearings measured on the U.S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Ryan quadrangle, enlarged to scale of 1:31,680, referred to features designated on the 1952 edition. Hill 2997, reference point for many of the collections, is 0.85 mile from the east boundary at longitude 116°30' W. and 5.2 miles from the south boundary at latitude 36°15' N.
