Xerox University Microfilms 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 74-9869 INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological nneans to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus causé a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

DISSERTATION COMMITTEE BRACHIOPOD BIOSTRATIGRAPHY AND FAUNAS OF THE MORROW SERIES (LOWER PENNSYLVANIAN) OF NORTHWESTERN ARKANSAS AND NORTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA by Thomas Wood Henry ABSTRACT The Morrow Group of the southwestern part of the Ozark Mountains region consists of a highly fossiliferous sequence of predominantly marine limestones, shales, and sandstones. The brachiopod fauna is highly varied, and the Morrow Group is subdivided into three brachio­ pod zones based upon the established ranges of the 45 species recog­ nized in this stratigraphie sequence. These zones are based upon the first occurrence of a number of brachiopod taxa. They are, in ascending order, the Sandia welleri Range Zone, the Plicochonetes? arkansanus Range Zone, and the Linoproductus nodosus Range Zone. The Sandia welleri Range Zone corresponds to the Cane Hill and lower half of the Prairie Grove Member of the Hale Formation in northwestern Arkansas and to the lower one third of the grainstone- shale member of the Gore Formation in northeastern Oklahoma. The Plicochonetes? arkansanus Range Zone occupies the upper part of the Prairie Grove Member and the Brentwood Limestone and the Woolsey Member of the overlying Bloyd Formation. It corresponds to the middle and upper parts of the grainstone-shale member and all of the algal wacke- stone member of the Lower Morrow Formation in northeastern Oklahoma. The boundary between the lower two Morrowan brachiopod zones is accordant with the boundary between the Idiognathoides noduliferus and the Neognathodus bassleri symmetricus conodont zones as defined by Lane (1967), Lane and Straka (1971), and Henry (1970). The upper boundary of the Plicochonetes ? arkansanus Range Zone marks the uppermost occurrence of nine brachiopod species that commonly occur in the lower strata. Ten brachiopod species are confined to the overlying Linoproductus nodosus Range Zone. This boundary marks the most important faunal break in the Morrow Group and is the basis for subdividing the Morrow Series into Lower and Upper Morrow Subseries. 1X1 The base of the Linoproductus nodosus Range Zone corresponds to the regional unconformity that occurs at the base of the Dye Shale Member in northwestern Arkansas and at the base of the Upper Morrow Formation in northeastern Oklahoma. McCaleb (1968) reported a similar hiatus at this boundary for the goniatite faunas of the Bloyd Formation. The high degree of similarity between the brachiopod fauna in the basal part of the La Pasada Formation in north-central New Mexico and the fauna of the Linoproductus nodosus Range Zone in the Morrow Group affirms Sutherland and Harlow's (in press) suggestion that the basal La Pasada is Late Morrowan in age. IV ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am extremely grateful to Dr. Patrick K. Sutherland, who directed this dissertation, for having suggested the problem and for unselfishly providing invaluable help and encouragement throughout all phases of its execution. Dr. Sutherland also provided the author with financial assistance from his National Science Foundation Research Grant No. GA-42ZX during the initial stages of the field work on north­ eastern Oklahoma. Dr.s._David B. Kitts, Charles J. Mankin, and L. R. Wilson served on the dissertation committee and made many helpful suggestions through­ out the latter stages of the writing. Dr. Richard E. Grant of the U. S. National Museum served as external advisor on the dissertation committee, and I wish to express my appreciation to him for numerous valuable suggestions and criticisms. Financial assistance for some of the field work in northeastern Oklahoma was provided by the Oklahoma Geological Survey, and the Arkansas Geological Commission helped support part of the field work in northwestern Arkansas. I extend my appreciation to Dr. Mankin and Mr. Norman F. Williams, directors of the respective surveys, for their generous assistance. Part of the field expenses was also deferred by a grant from the Penrose Foundation of the Geological Society of America (Grant #1386-70). Portions of the cost of photography was absorbed by funds from a Grant-in-Aid-of-Research from The Society of the Sigma Xi. The author also wishes to thank the following people at the University of Arkansas for their unselfish and generous assistance during the time that I spent in the field in northwestern Arkansas: Drs. Doy L. Zachry, James H. Quinn, Walter L. Manger, and Ronald Konig. Discussions with these individuals about the problems of Morrowan stratigraphy have greatly enriched my research on this subject. Dr. Zachry generously loaned me aerial photographs of portions of Washing­ ton County, Arkansas, and these were immensely useful in finding several of the sections that were subsequently measured. Dr. Zachry and Dr. Quinn accompanied me in the field on several occasions while reconnoitering the area. To Jerry D. Branch and Charlotte E. Glenn, who were at the time students at the University of Arkansas, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for assistance in measuring and collecting several of the sections in the southwestern part of Washing­ ton County. A special thanks is extended to Dr. and Mrs. Dwight M. Moore of Fayetteville, Arkansas, with whom I lived while working in the field in northwestern Arkansas. My wife, Donna Carol, provided much moral support and encourage­ ment throughout the course of the investigation and helped in the thank­ less and time-consuming task of proofreading the final copy. Most of the text-figures were drafted by David M. Deering of vx the Oklahoma Geological Survey, and the final text was typed by Susan Seybert. I am indebted to them for their generous assistance. vxi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT........................................ ill ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................... v LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS..................................... xii LIST OF PLATES AND MATERIAL IN POCKET . .......... xiii LIST OF T A B L E S ............................................. xv INTRODUCTION ............................................... 1 Importance of Investigation ....................... 1 Location of A r e a ................................... 2 Nature of Outcrops ................................. 3 Purpose, Scope, and Methods of Investigation .... 8 History of Previous Biotic Investigations ..... 10 LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY ......................................... 14 Introduction ....................................... 14 Pitkin Formation ................................... 15 Morrow Group (General) ............................. 16 Morrow Group, Northwestern Arkansas .............. 19 Hale Formation ............................... 20 Cane Hill M e m b e r ......................... 21 Prairie Grove Member ....................

Bapst <[email protected]> BugReports https://github.com/dwbapst/paleotree/issues Description Provides tools for transforming, a posteriori time-scaling, and modifying phylogenies containing extinct (i.e. fossil) lineages. In particular, most users are interested in the functions timePaleoPhy, bin_timePaleoPhy, cal3TimePaleoPhy and bin_cal3TimePaleoPhy, which date cladograms of fossil taxa using stratigraphic data. This package also contains a large number of likelihood functions for estimating sampling and diversification rates from different types of data available from the fossil record (e.g. range data, occurrence data, etc). paleotree users can also simulate diversification and sampling in the fossil record using the function simFossilRecord, which is a detailed simulator for branching birth-death-sampling processes composed of discrete taxonomic units arranged in ancestor-descendant relationships. Users can use simFossilRecord to simulate diversification in incompletely sampled fossil records, under various models of morphological differentiation (i.e. the various patterns by which morphotaxa originate from one another), and with time-dependent, longevity-dependent and/or diversity-dependent rates of diversification, extinction and sampling. Additional functions allow users to translate simulated ancestor-descendant data from simFossilRecord into standard time-scaled phylogenies or unscaled cladograms that reflect the relationships among taxon units.
