Department of the Interior Us Geological Survey DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY A WORKING BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR THE PLIOCENE David P. Adam1 Heidi L. Dieffenbach1 Michael McCormick1 U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report Number 90-81 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards (or with the North American Stratigraphic Code). Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government 'Menlo Park, CA 94025 1990 1 INTRODUCTION The bibliography presented in this report was compiled as part of a project to evaluate the climatic record of the Pliocene as a possible analog for a high CO2 world. The strategy used began with a search of the GEOREF data base and with an ongoing examination of current literature, and was extended by culling additional references from the bibliographies of works already located. A word of caution is in order: we have accepted the tenn "Pliocene" just as it is used in each paper, but the definition of the Pliocene has changed through time, and some works may describe deposits or events as Pliocene that would now be considered of Miocene age. The references have been managed using the dms4cite computer program (Sidereal Technologies, Inc., Westwood, NJ) on a personal computer. The list of references and keywords was produced by dms4cite and formatted using Sprint Lists of authors and keywords were extracted from the dms4cite files using programs written in Turbo Pascal 5.0, and duplicate entries were eliminated using Paradox 3.0, a relational data base management program. Paradox was also used to cross-reference the author and keyword entries for each reference to the sequence number of the reference in the bibliographies. Printing of the keyword and author indices was done using a combination of a custom-written Postscript driver and data files produced by the Paradox report generator. The present list includes 1612 references, but is by no means complete. Works in Indo-European languages predominate; coverage of Russian and Chinese literature in particular is very sparse. Most of the references have been published since 1965; the distribution of publication dates is shown in Figure 1. The keywords used undoubtedly reflect our own interests and biases to some extent, but we have tried to make the bibliography useful to a wide range of workers. Some headings may overlap considerably. Authors' names are used here as they were published, and a single author may be listed in more than one way. Junior authors are included in the author index. Family and given names for Chinese authors may at times be reversed. We plan to maintain and update this working bibliography as time and resources permit. Additions, corrections, and suggestions are welcome, and should be sent to the senior author at Mail Stop 915, 345 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, California 94025. 170- 160- 150- 140- 130- 120- 110- 100- I": 70- 60- 50- 40- 30- 20- 10- 1880 1890 1900 1910 1920 1930 1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 Date of publication Figure l.-Histogram of number of publications plotted against year of publication. -3- REFERENCES 1.

  • Introduction San Andreas Fault: an Overview
    Introduction This volume is a general geology field guide to the San Andreas Fault in the San Francisco Bay Area. The first section provides a brief overview of the San Andreas Fault in context to regional California geology, the Bay Area, and earthquake history with emphasis of the section of the fault that ruptured in the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. This first section also contains information useful for discussion and making field observations associated with fault- related landforms, landslides and mass-wasting features, and the plant ecology in the study region. The second section contains field trips and recommended hikes on public lands in the Santa Cruz Mountains, along the San Mateo Coast, and at Point Reyes National Seashore. These trips provide access to the San Andreas Fault and associated faults, and to significant rock exposures and landforms in the vicinity. Note that more stops are provided in each of the sections than might be possible to visit in a day. The extra material is intended to provide optional choices to visit in a region with a wealth of natural resources, and to support discussions and provide information about additional field exploration in the Santa Cruz Mountains region. An early version of the guidebook was used in conjunction with the Pacific SEPM 2004 Fall Field Trip. Selected references provide a more technical and exhaustive overview of the fault system and geology in this field area; for instance, see USGS Professional Paper 1550-E (Wells, 2004). San Andreas Fault: An Overview The catastrophe caused by the 1906 earthquake in the San Francisco region started the study of earthquakes and California geology in earnest.

Gradual climate cooling caused huge continental ice sheets to form. Later, gradual warming caused these to melt during the interglacial periods. The last glacier began forming approximately 110,000 years ago, building until it covered all but the Cypress Hills and the Wood Mountain Plateau region of the Province. The last interglacial period started about 17,000 years ago. The ice sheet melted completely from our borders about 10,000 years ago. This last period of glaciation is called the Wisconsin Glacial Period.

Baleen whales include dwarf mysticetes (Herpetocetus bramblei Whitmore & Barnes, 2008, Herpetocetus sp.), two right whales (cf. Eubalaena sp. 1, cf. Eubalaena sp. 2), at least three balaenopterids (“Balaenoptera” cortesi “var.” portisi Sacco, 1890, cf. Balaenoptera, Balaenopteridae gen. et sp. indet.) and a new species of rorqual (Balaenoptera bertae n. sp.) that exhibits a number of derived features that place it within the genus Balaenoptera. is new species of Balaenoptera is relatively small (estimated 61 cm bizygomatic width) and exhibits a comparatively nar- row vertex, an obliquely (but precipitously) sloping frontal adjacent to vertex, anteriorly directed and short zygomatic processes, and squamosal creases.

  • Mammalia, Felidae, Canidae, and Mustelidae) from the Earliest Hemphillian Screw Bean Local Fauna, Big Bend National Park, Brewster County, Texas
    Chapter 9 Carnivora (Mammalia, Felidae, Canidae, and Mustelidae) From the Earliest Hemphillian Screw Bean Local Fauna, Big Bend National Park, Brewster County, Texas MARGARET SKEELS STEVENS1 AND JAMES BOWIE STEVENS2 ABSTRACT The Screw Bean Local Fauna is the earliest Hemphillian fauna of the southwestern United States. The fossil remains occur in all parts of the informal Banta Shut-in formation, nowhere very fossiliferous. The formation is informally subdivided on the basis of stepwise ®ning and slowing deposition into Lower (least fossiliferous), Middle, and Red clay members, succeeded by the valley-®lling, Bench member (most fossiliferous). Identi®ed Carnivora include: cf. Pseudaelurus sp. and cf. Nimravides catocopis, medium and large extinct cats; Epicyon haydeni, large borophagine dog; Vulpes sp., small fox; cf. Eucyon sp., extinct primitive canine; Buisnictis chisoensis, n. sp., extinct skunk; and Martes sp., marten. B. chisoensis may be allied with Spilogale on the basis of mastoid specialization. Some of the Screw Bean taxa are late survivors of the Clarendonian Chronofauna, which extended through most or all of the early Hemphillian. The early early Hemphillian, late Miocene age attributed to the fauna is based on the Screw Bean assemblage postdating or- eodont and predating North American edentate occurrences, on lack of de®ning Hemphillian taxa, and on stage of evolution.
