Forty-seven new collections of conodonts recovered from the Cache Creek Group in central British Columbia are reported and preliminary taxonomic and age determinations presented. The data confirms that most of the limestones of the Mt. Pope sequence near Fort St. James are of Late Carboniferous age and only locally extend into the Lower Permian. A distinctive basalt unit within the limestone is constrained as Bashkirian to Moscovian in age. Upper Carboniferous limestones extend northward to Kloch Lake in Manson River sheet where much younger Permian limestones predominate. In the latter area, Late Permian limestones are overlain by an Early Triassic sedimentary and volcanic sequence. Some limestones of the Mt. Pope sequence were evidently subject to weathering and erosion during or after the Middle Triassic because Permian and Triassic conodonts are only known as cavity fill in Upper Carboniferous strata.
