PREFACE a Graduate Thesis Often Represents a Student's First Attempt at Reporting Extensively on a Specific Research Problem PREFACE A graduate thesis often represents a student's first attempt at reporting extensively on a specific research problem. The results are seldom published and those unpublished, too often are little known or used. Nevertheless, many if not most of them are sources of potentially significant information. The purpose of this circular is to compile a handy reference to this field of geologic information. Most thesis titles pertain to Michigan and surrounding Great Lakes. However, a few titles were included from adjacent states where this information may be useful in interpreting Michigan geology. The list is organized by author, each thesis assigned a number, cross-referenced to the subject index inside rear cover. The information was gathered primarily by canvassing collegiate geology departments, without whose cooperation this circular would not have been possible. The earliest thesis reported was written in 1895. Revisions are contemplated so any comments or additional data suggested will be appreciated. Prof. B. John Chronic, University of Colorado, has compiled "Bibliography of Theses in Geology" containing over 11,000 titles. University Microfilms, Ann Arbor, Michigan has been microfilming Ph.D. theses since 1938, listed monthly in "Dissertation Abstracts". Ph.D. Geological Survey theses titles appear in the monthly "Abstracts of North CIRCULAR 7 American Geology", U.S. Geological Survey. Lansing Edward A.

RETALLACK Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403, USA. *Email: gregr@uoregon. edu (Received 09 September, 2019; revised version accepted 15 December, 2019) ABSTRACT The Palaeobotanist 68(1–2): Retallack GJ 2019. Ordovician land plants and fungi from Douglas Dam, Tennessee. The Palaeobotanist 68(1–2): xxx–xxx. 1–33. Ordovician land plants have long been suspected from indirect evidence of fossil spores, plant fragments, carbon isotopic studies, and paleosols, but now can be visualized from plant compressions in a Middle Ordovician (Darriwilian or 460 Ma) sinkhole at Douglas Dam, Tennessee, U. S. A. Five bryophyte clades and two fungal clades are represented: hornwort (Casterlorum crispum, new form genus and species), liverwort (Cestites mirabilis Caster & Brooks), balloonwort (Janegraya sibylla, new form genus and species), peat moss (Dollyphyton boucotii, new form genus and species), harsh moss (Edwardsiphyton ovatum, new form genus and species), endomycorrhiza (Palaeoglomus strotheri, new species) and lichen (Prototaxites honeggeri, new species). The Douglas Dam Lagerstätte is a benchmark assemblage of early plants and fungi on land. Ordovician plant diversity now supports the idea that life on land had increased terrestrial weathering to induce the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event in the sea and latest Ordovician (Hirnantian)

INTRODUCTION. The present work comprises a record of publications on North Ameri­ can geology, paleontology, petrology, and mineralogy for the year 1895. It is planned on the same lines as the previous bulletins (Nos. 130 and 135), excepting that abstracts appearing in regular periodicals have been omitted in this volume. Bibliography. The bibliography consists of full titles of separate papers, classified by authors, an abbreviated reference to the publica­ tion in which the paper is printed, and a brief summary of the con­ tents, each paper being numbered for index reference.

Organic-walled microphytoplankton assemblage of the Middle Devonian (Givetian) Arkona, Hungry Hollow and Widder formations, Ontario, Canada: biostratigraphic and palaeogeographic significance . Boletín Geológico y Minero, 128 (4): 839-883 ISSN: 0366-0176 DOI: 10.21701/bolgeomin.128.4.001 Organic-walled microphytoplankton assemblage of the Middle Devonian (Givetian) Arkona, Hungry Hollow and Widder formations, Ontario, Canada: biostratigraphic and palaeogeographic significance R.

[email protected] (2) School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Q 4072, Australia. [email protected] ABSTRACT A diverse and abundant organic-walled microphytoplankton assemblage, consisting of 49 species of acri - tarchs, prasinophyte phycomata and chitinozoans, was recovered from a 13.3 m-section of the Middle Devonian (Givetian) Arkona, Hungry Hollow and Widder formations at Hungry Hollow, Ontario, Canada. Close similarity exists between this assemblage and others described previously from the Givetian of North America. Marine palynofloras of comparable age from elsewhere in North America share between 59–96% of the species identified in the present assemblage, thus testifying to its stratigraphic-correlative applicability in a regional context. Species widely occurring in North America and typically Givetian (although not restricted therein) include: Arkonites bilixus, Cymatiosphaera canadense, Diexallophasis simplex, Duvernaysphaera angelae, D. tenuicingulata, Estiastra rhytidoa, Exochoderma arca, Gorgonisphaeridium inflatum, Hapsidopalla chela, Leiofusa pyrena, Muraticavea munifica, Oppilatala sparsa, Palacanthus ledanoisii , Polyedryxium ambitum, Staplinium cuboides, Tyligmasoma alargada, Uncinisphaera acantha, Veryhachium pastoris, Villosacapsula compta and V.

INTRODUCTION. The method of preparing and arranging the material of the Bibli­ ography and Index for 1898 is similar to that adopted for the previous publications 011 this subject (Bulletins Nos. 130,135,146,149, and 156). Several papers that should have been entered in the previous bulletins are here recorded, and the date of publication is given with each entry. Bibliography. The bibliography consists of full titles of separate papers, classified by authors, an abbreviated reference to the publica­ tion in which the paper is printed, and a brief summary of the con­ tents, each paper being numbered for index reference.
