In the course of preparing a fossil database for the Great Basin that could be accessed from the Internet, it was determined that a comprehensive paleontological bibliography must first be compiled, something that had not previously been done. This bibliography includes published papers and abstracts as well as unpublished theses and dissertations on fossils and stratigraphy in Nevada and adjoining portions of California and Utah. This bibliography is broken into first-order headings by geologic age, secondary headings by taxonomic group, followed by ancillary topics of interest to both paleontologists and stratigraphers; paleoecology, stratigraphy, sedimentary petrology, paleogeography, tectonics, and petroleum potential. References were derived from usage of Georef, consultation with numerous paleontologists and geologists working in the Great Basin, and literature currently on hand with the authors. As this is a Web-accessible bibliography, we hope to periodically update it with new citations or older references that we have missed during this compilation. Hence, the authors would be grateful to receive notice of any new or old papers that the readers think should be added. As a final note, we gratefully acknowledge the helpful reviews provided by A. Elizabeth J. Crafford (Anchorage, Alaska) and William R. Page (USGS, Denver, Colorado). 8 PRECAMBRIAN References Algae Benmore, W.C., 1977, Stratigraphy, sedimentology and paleoecology of the upper Proterozoic Johnnie Formation, eastern California and southern Nevada [abs.]: Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs, v. 9, no. 4, p. 387-388.

    Berliner paläobiologische Abhandlungen 10 5-47 Berlin 2009-11-11 The slit bearing nacreous Archaeogastropoda of the Triassic tropical reefs in the St. Cassian Formation with evaluation of the taxonomic value of the selenizone Klaus Bandel Abstract: Many Archaeogastropoda with nacreous shell from St. Cassian Formation have a slit in the outer lip that gives rise to a selenizone. The primary objective of this study is to analyze family level characters, provide a revision of some generic classifications and compare with species living today. Members of twelve families are recognized with the Lancedellidae n. fam., Rhaphistomellidae n. fam., Pseudowortheniellidae n. fam., Pseudoschizogoniidae n. fam., Wortheniellidae n. fam. newly defined. While the organization of the aperture and the shell structure is similar to that of the living Pleurotomariidae, morphology of the early ontogenetic shell and size and shape of the adult shell distinguish the Late Triassic slit bearing Archae- gastropoda from these. In the reef environment of the tropical Tethys Ocean such Archaeogastropoda were much more diverse than modern representatives of that group from the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean. Here Haliotis, Seguenzia and Fossarina represent living nacreous gastropods with slit and are compared to the fossil species. All three have distinct shape and arrangement of the teeth in their radula that is not related to that of the Pleurotomariidae and also differs among each other. The family Fossarinidae n. fam. and the new genera Pseudowortheniella and Rinaldoella are defined, and a new species Campbellospira missouriensis is described. Zusammenfassung: In der St. Cassian-Formation kommen zahlreiche Arten der Archaeogastropoda vor, die eine perlmutterige Schale mit Schlitz in der Außenlippe haben, welcher zu einem Schlitzband führt.

LIEBERMAN Departments of Geology and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lindley Hall, Lawrence 66045, <[email protected]> ABSTRACT—Phylogenetic analysis was used to evaluate evolutionary relationships within the Cambrian suborder Olenellina Walcott, 1890; special emphasis was placed on those taxa outside of the Olenelloidea. Fifty-seven exoskeletal characters were coded for 24 taxa within the Olenellina and two outgroups referable to the "fallotaspidoid" grade. The Olenelloidea, along with the genus Gabriellus Fritz, 1992, are the sister group of the Judomioidea Repina, 1979. The "Nevadioidea" Hupe, 1953 are a paraphyletic grade group. Four new genera are recognized, Plesionevadia, Cambroinyoella, Callavalonia, and Sdzuyomia, and three new species are described, Nevadia fritzi, Cirquella nelsoni, and Cambroinyoella wallacei. Phylogenetic parsimony analysis is also used to make predictions about the ancestral morphology of the Olenellina. This morphology most resembles the morphology found in Plesionevadia and Pseudoju- domia Egorova in Goryanskii and Egorova, 1964.

Nonetheless, site-specific effects of highway projects must still be evaluated to identify appropriate mitigation strategies to protect wildlife. The Nevada Department of Wildlife has been opportunistically monitoring wildlife use of the State Route 160 (hereafter, SR160) corridor near Mountain Springs in Clark County, Nevada, for over 30 years. Incomplete roadkill information for desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and elk (Cervus elaphus), as well as GPS collar data from desert bighorn sheep (n=2), suggest SR160, in its current state, is a formidable barrier to movement of those 3 species occurring in the Mountain Springs area of southern Nevada (see attachment). These populations provide a valuable resource to wildlife enthusiasts in the Las Vegas Valley and surrounding areas. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) plans to widen and straighten SR160 in response to traffic congestion and public safety issues occurring along the highway corridor (FHWA-NV-EA 13.01).

PROTHERO1, EDWARD BYRD DAVIS2 AND SAMANTHA S.B. HOPKINS2 1 Department of Geology, Occidental College, Los Angeles, CA 90041; 2 Department of Geological Sciences, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403 Abstract—The “Proboscidean Datum” was proposed by Tedford et al. (1987) and Woodburne and Swisher (1995) as a marker of the late Barstovian (middle Miocene, about 14.5 Ma) in North America. Subsequently, a number of pre-late Barstovian proboscidean fossils have been reported, casting doubt on the validity of the Proboscidean Datum. The oldest of these is from the late Hemingfordian Massacre Lake local fauna of northwest Nevada, which produced a single proboscidean tooth fragment. Magnetic stratigraphy was conducted on these beds, which yielded a stable remanence held mainly in magnetite that was entirely reversed in polarity. Based on the 40Ar/39Ar date of 16.474 ±0.035 Ma at the top of the section, we correlate the Massacre Lake beds with earliest Chron C5Cr (16.4-17.3 Ma). In addition, a number of other early Barstovian magnetostratigraphic sections with Proboscidea are reviewed, and quite a few yield fossils that date between 15.8 and 16.2 Ma. Our analysis of faunal data suggests that these early occurrences are simply the first places colonized by the immigrating proboscideans and not marked by a unique ecological or taphonomic history.

    Annotated List of the Fishes of Nevada

    14 June 1984 PROC. BIOL. SOC. WASH. 97(1), 1984, pp. 103-118 ANNOTATED LIST OF THE FISHES OF NEVADA James E. Deacon and Jack E. Williams Abstract.-160 native and introduced fishes referable to 108 species, 56 genera, and 19 families are recorded for Nevada. The increasing proportion of introduced fishes continues to burden the native ichthyofauna. The first list of all fishes known from Nevada by La Rivers and Trelease (1952) eventually culminated in La Rivers' Fishes and Fisheries of Nevada, published in 1962. Over the past twenty years, a number of changes have occurred in the fish fauna of the state. These include additions through "official" actions as well as by "unofficial" means. Some taxa have become extinct and many have become much less abundant (Deacon 1979, Deacon et al. 1979). Numerous changes have also occurred in our understanding of probable taxonomic relationships of the fishes. The increased number of subspecies recognized since the 1962 list reflects a better understanding of distribution and geographic variation of the ichthyo- fauna. Our purpose is to produce a checklist that includes all taxa known from the state within historical times. The list includes all fishes native to Nevada and those that have been introduced into the state, whether or not they have become established. Our checklist reflects current understanding of the fauna and high- lights those areas where additional work is needed. Including subspecies, we record 160 fishes in the present fauna of Nevada referable to 108 species, 56 genera, and 19 families. We recognize 67 subspecies referable to 15 species.
