Programme Fossils and Strata is an international series of monographs and memoirs in palaeontology and stratigraphy, published in cooperation between the Scandinavian countries. It is issued in Numbers with individual pagination. Fossils and Strata forms part of the same structured publishingprogramme as the journals Lethaia and Boreas. These two journals are fully international and accept papers within their respective sectors of sciencewithout nationallimitations or preferences. Fossils and Strata, however, is an outlet for more comprehensive systematic and regional monographs emanating primarily from the five countries of Norden. Contributions from other countries may also be included if this series is deemed appropriate with regard to distribution and availability. Articles can normally only be accepted if they are heavily subsidized by the national Research Council in their country of origin or by other funds. All income is re-invested in forthcoming numbers of the series. Although articles in German and French may be accepted, the use of English is stronglypreferred. An English abstract should always be provided, and non-English articles should have English versions of the figure captions. Abstracts or summaries in one or more additional languages may be added. Many regional or systematic descriptions and revisions contain a nucleus of results which are of immediate and general interest in international palaeontology and stratigraphy. It is expected that authors of such papers will to some extent duplicate their publication in the form of an article for a journal, in the first place Lethaia or Boreas. Sales Individual numbers and standing subscriptions may be ordered from Scandinavian University Press (postal address as above; e-mail address [email protected]). Prices (subject to revision) are listed on the back side of each issue. IPA members generally have a 50% discount on older issues (ask for information fromScandinavian University Press).

  • Petrology and Sedimentation of Cretaceous and Eocene Rocks in the Medford-Ashland Region, Southwestern Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Brian Keith McKnight of the Doctor of Philosophy (Name) (Degree) in Geology presented on ,u 1 ,IT76 (Major) (Date) Title: Petrology and Sedimentation of Cretaceous and Eocene Rocks in the Medford-Ashland Region. Southwestern Oregon Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy Harold E. Enlows Late Cretaceous and late Eocene rocks over 12,000feet thick are exposed in Bear Valley between the Klamath and Cascade Mountains.Detailed field and laboratory examinations of these rocks were undertaken todeter- mine the conditions under which they were formed. Late Cretaceous rocks of the predominantly marineHornbrook Formation consist of 1,000 feet of sandstone overlain by 3,000 feetof mudstone. Fossils indicate a Cenomanian to late Turonian orpossibly Maestrichian age. The Cretaceous sandstones are arkosic to feldspathicarenities and wackes. The basal sandstones strongly reflect the local bedrocklithology. Higher in the formation, the local bedrock has nocontrol over the mineral composition. A gradual change from a plutonic source to ametasedimentary and metavolcanic source is suggested by the verticalchange in mineralogy of the sandstones. Animal borings, ripple marks, cross-bedding,and other sedimentary structures as well as the shallow waterfauna suggest that these sandstones were deposited on the continentalshelf. Above the 300 foot thick basal sandstone unit, shale and thin coal seamssuggest temporary paralic sedimentation after the initial transgression. A deepening of the sedimentary basin or an increase in the distancefrom the source of the sediment is indicated by the overlying 3,000feet of mudstone. The mudstone has numerous sandstone interbeds and is locally richly fossiliferous. Sedimentary structures and a progressive decrease in the age of the basal sandstone unit from north to south suggestthat the Hornbrook Formation was deposited in a sea which trangressedtoward the southwest.

  • UPPER CRETACEOUS ROCKS OE PARTS of SOUTHWESTERN OREGON and NORTHERN Californiai DAFJ.AS L
    BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PETROLEUM GEOLOGISTS VOL. 40. NO. 8 (AUGUST, 1956). PP. 1968-1984. 4 FIGS. UPPER CRETACEOUS ROCKS OE PARTS OF SOUTHWESTERN OREGON AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIAi DAFJ.AS L. PECK,2 RALPH W. IMLAY,^ .^ND W. P. POPENOE^ Washington, D. C, and I>os Angeles, California ABSTRACT The Upper Cretaceous rocks in Siskiyou County, California, and in adjoining Jackson County, Oregon, are herein defined as the Hornbrook formation. A new name to diiferentiate them from the Chico formation in California is justified by their remote position and by their nearly complete lack of faunas in common with the Chico at its type section. The Hornbrook formation comprises at least 2,500 feet of arkosic wacke sandstone, siltstone, mudstone, and conglomerate; contains fossils of Cenomanian, Turonian, and Campanian age; and includes one unconformity- INTRODUCTION Upper Cretaceous sedimentary rocks trending northwesterly across Siskiyou County, California, and Jackson County, Oregon, have generally been referred to as the Chico group although they are more than 80 miles north of the nearest exposures of Upper Cretaceous rocks in the Sacramento Valley near Redding, Cal­ ifornia, and more than 140 miles north of the type locality of the Chico group along Chico Creek. Recently, however, F. G. Wells concluded, after field and office investigations, that the Upper Cretaceous rocks near the Oregon-California border are too far from outcrops at the Chico type locality in the Sacramento Val­ ley for the name Chico to be applicable to them (W^ells, F. G., oral communica­ tion). He felt that establishment of a new formational name for the Upper Cretaceous rocks in Jackson and Siskiyou counties would serve local mapping needs better than the term Chico group and would avoid stratigraphic misappli­ cations and misunderstandings.

  • Environmental Impact on Ectocochleate Cephalopod Reproductive Strategies and the Evolutionary Significance of Cephalopod Egg Size
    Environmental impact on ectocochleate cephalopod reproductive strategies and the evolutionary significance of cephalopod egg size VLADIMIR V. LAPTIKHOVSKY, MIKHAIL A. ROGOV, SVETLANA V. NIKOLAEVA & ALEXANDER I. ARKHIPKIN Published data on initial chamber (protoconch) diameter in 507 species, and embryonic shell (ammonitella) diameter in 231 species of Ammonoidea, and embryonic shell (nauta) diameters for 132 species of coiled Nautiloidea, were used to examine evolutionary change in ectocochleate cephalopod reproductive strategies. Palaeotemperatures were found to be a key factor influencing historical changes in the evolution of egg size in ammonoids and nautiloids. A negative relation- ship was found between egg size and warming of the Earth’s climate. Factors related to habitat were also important; in general egg size was larger in cold-water cephalopods. Egg size in Lytoceratina and Phylloceratina in the deep waters of the upper continental slope was much larger than in epipelagic Scaphitidae, as in modern fish and squids. Small eggs and high evolutionary rates helped ammonoids to colonise new habitats and develop high biological diversity, but involved them in planktonic food webs making them more vulnerable to abiotic variability (e.g., climatic changes), ultimately leading to their extinction. Large eggs helped nautiloids to persist through geological history, but at the cost of lower bio- logical diversity, lower evolutionary rates and restricted options for colonising new habitats. Large-egged species such as nautiloids are more vulnerable to ecological, biotic disasters such as the appearance of new predators, including mod- ern fishery. Independence from the planktonic food web is likely to be very important for a taxon’s long-term survival over evolutionary history, as demonstrated also by Coelacanthiformes and Elasmobranchia.

    The Journal of Paleontological Sciences: JPS.H.07.001 1 THE GEOLOGICAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF WILLIAM “BILL” A. COBBAN __________________________________________________________________________ Neal L. Larson1 and Neil H. Landman2 1Black Hills Institute of Geological Research, PO Box 643, 117 Main St., Hill City, SD 57745 2American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY, 10024 _______________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT W. A. "Bill" Cobban is one of the most highly respected and published geologist/paleontologists. He is an extraordinary fieldworker, biostratigrapher, paleontologist, geologist and mapmaker. With a career that has spanned more than 60 years he has fundamentally changed our understanding of the Upper Cretaceous Western Interior and made it explicable, logical and comprehensible. INTRODUCTION William Aubrey "Bill" Cobban was born more than 90 years ago, on Dec. 31, 1916, in Great Falls, Montana. He attended the University of Montana in Missoula and in 1940 went to work for Carter Oil Company (now Exxon) as a geologist, stratigrapher and map maker. In 1946, Bill attended Johns Hopkins University and received his PhD in 1949. He began his U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) career in 1948 with field work on the Cretaceous bentonite deposits of southeastern Montana and northwestern South Dakota. During his early years at the USGS, Bill worked with John B. Reeside, Jr., the father of modern Western Interior biostratigraphy (Reeside 1957). Throughout his years with the USGS, Bill also spent a great deal of time in the field and collaborating on publications with colleagues James Gill and Glenn Scott. These three spent most of their careers collecting, mapping and publishing on the geology, stratigraphy and the invertebrate fauna of the Western Interior Upper Cretaceous marine sediments.
