  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In August 1965, a scallop dredge from R/V Albatross brought up many pieces of fossiliferous opaline chert or porcellanite of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Eocene&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;age&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;from&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Fippennies&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Ledge&lt;span&gt;, a bank 70 m deep in the central&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Gulf&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Maine&lt;span&gt;. Their presence in this area supports the idea that part of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Gulf&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;is underlain by sedimentary&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;rocks&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;of Tertiary&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;age&lt;span&gt;. Occurrence in the porcellanite of two identifiable species of Bryozoa (ascophoran Cheilostomata), Kleidionella lobata Canu and Bassler and "Ocheto-sella" robusta Canu and Bassler, suggests (1) correlation with the Castle Hayne Limestone of Claiborne to Jackson&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;age&lt;span&gt;; (2) a temperate zone, distinctly American biogeographic provenance; and (3) accumulation in quiet water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
