The discovery of a new locality yielding giant Guadalupian (Lower Permian) fusulinids in east-central Alaska extends the range of these forms much farther north than previously known, and into a tectonostratigraphic terrane from which they previously had not been reported. The number of areas from which giant parafusulinids are known in North America is thus raised to eight. Three of these localities are in rocks that previously had been referred to the allochthonous McCloud belt arc, and one, West Texas, is known to have been part of Paleozoic North America. Comparison of species from all areas suggests that there are two closely related species groups: one represented in Texas and Coahuila, and the other represented in Sonora, northern California, northeastern Washington, southern and northern British Columbia, Alaska, and apparently in Texas. These groups may differ because they are of slightly different ages or because interchange between the faunas of Texas–Coahuila area and the other regions was somewhat inhibited during the Early Permian.

The Early Permian (late Sakmarian to early Artinskian) adrianitid ammonoid Nevadoceras steelei new genus and species occurs in a fauna containing the ammonoids Properrinites Elias, Prothalassoceras Böse, Daraelites Gemmellaro, Almites Toumanskaya, Bamyaniceras Termier and Termier, Akmilleria Ruzhencev, Agathiceras Gemmellaro, Metalegoceras Schindewolf, Stenolobulites Mikesh, Glenister, and Furnish, Crimites Toumanskaya, Neocrimites Ruzhencev and the conodonts Sweetognathus whitei (Rhodes) and Mesogondolella bisselli (Clark and Behnken). This fauna occurs in a concretionary interval within micritic basinal facies of the Dry Mountain trough at Portuguese Springs, White Pine County, east-central Nevada.
