This paper was written in defense of this authors previous paper on the Ledge Sandstone member of the Ivishak Formation, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska. This author has previously written a paper (Crowder, 1990) which discussed the depositional environments and sedimentation of these reservoir-quality sandstones and conglomerates, and developed a geologic model for source materials and deposition. As a response to this paper, another author (McMillen, 1991) questioned numerous conclusions reached by this author. The former author cited the lack of use of paleocurrent information to determine source areas and the misinterpretation of sandstone body geometry. Both papers and rebuttals have been individually entered into the data base.
