'Glauconite pellets', discovered in the bottom sediments of the Queen Charlotte Sound on the British Columbia continental shelf, consist of interstratified glauconite-montmorillonoid and kaolin. Expansion of the interstratified material to form a broad diffuse peak on glyceration reflects the presence of the montmorillonoid component. Potassium saturation followed by a series of heat treatments produced an asymmetrical 9.94 Å peak. The clay fraction associated with the 'glauconite pellets' was composed of predominantly montmorillonoid with lesser amounts of kaolin and chlorite. These 'glauconite pellets' may be either residual (eroded out of outcrops on the sea floor), relic Pleistocene, or Recent. It is suspected, regardless of the time of formation, that this particular glauconite formed diagenetically from montmorillonoid by adsorption of potassium in interlamellar positions and possibly some substitution of magnesium and iron for aluminum in octahedral positions.

Fur Seal

An examination of stomachs of fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus) taken off the coast of southern British Columbia and Washington from 1958 to 1969 indicated that Pacific herring (Clupea pallasi) were confined mainly to the continental shelf. Herring were most numerous in fur seal stomachs off Barkley Sound. Few occurred north of Cape Cook or from Cape Flattery south to the Columbia River. None were found from seals taken near the Cobb Sea-mount.

A well-preserved third molar of a woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) was recovered from sand and gravel forming the highest (Herman) prominent strandline of Lake Agassiz near Embden in western Cass County, North Dakota. The Herman strandline is estimated to have formed about 11 500 years BP, and presumably the tooth is of similar age. Perhaps the animal lived in a tundra-like area near the Lake Agassiz shoreline.Additional evidence suggests that woolly mammoths occupied a tundra-like range south of the Wisconsin ice sheets extending from southern British Columbia to the Atlantic continental shelf off Virginia.

Two specimens of the striped bass (Morone saxatilis) were taken in British Columbia waters in 1971. One was taken off Port San Juan (48°30′N, 124°30′W) and one in Barkley Sound (48°58′N, 125°03′W). Previous most northerly published record for the Pacific coast was from Puget Sound, Washington.
