Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey To DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP MF-ZOO7 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY FOSSIL LOCALITY MAP AND FOSSIL DATA FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF THE CHARLEY RIVER QUADRANGLE. EAST-CENTRAL ALASKA Compiled by Ronny T. Miyaoka INTRODUCTION This table and location map are compiled from fossil information collected within the Charley River A-1. A-2, A-3. 6-1, 8-2, 8-3, C-I, and C-2 1:63.360-scale quadrangles. Sources of information for the campilation are mainly published reports of the U.S. Geological Survey, as well as unpublished fieldnotes. maps. and fossil reports of USGS workers conducting geologic studies in the area. The fossil data in the table are listed chronologfcally, by collector, according to when the fossils were collected. This information includes, where available, map number. geologic map unit, collector's field number, USGS collection number, fossil list, and fossil age designation. Sources of information and names of paleontologists Hho identified fossils are keyed with superscripts and cited at the end of the table. Reports for most of the collections that have been assigned a USGS collection number are on file at the U.S. National Museum of Natural History in Washington. D.C. The fossil lists are reproduced as originally prepared by the paleontologists indicated. However, many of the older collections have been restudied by later workers, and because of improved taxonomic and stratigraphic frameworks, restudy has resulted in revised identification, correlation, and(or) age designation for many collections. Consequently, care should be taken in using the appraisals of early workers and most attention should be given to the more current reports and publications. The fossil location map is reproduced on a screened geologic base at a scale of 1:100.000. The geology and map untts are.frun Dover (in press) which contains a brlef descriptton of stratigraphic unlts. The locations of fossils collected prior to 1931 (map numbers 1-87) are only approximate due to the lack of precise location information. Although much effort went into making the fossil table and location map as complete as possible, some existing data were not available for inclusion, and some data may been omitted inadvertently. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am indebted to Ellen White and Sue Booth of the U.S. Geological Survey's Technical Data Unit in Menlo Park for their invaluable sssistance in recovering archival information, and to J.T. Dutro. Jr. for his editorial review which led to many important additions and improvements. REFERENCE CITED Dover.

ISSN 2533-4050 (print), ISSN 2533-4069 (on-line). Abstract: Substantial numbers of the nautilid Cenoceras occur in a stratigraphically limited horizon within the upper part of the Lower Jurassic (Sinemurian Stage) Blue Lias Formation at Watchet on the West Somerset Coast (United Kingdom). Individual nautilid conchs are associated with clusters of encrusting organisms (sclerobionts) forming ‘islands’ that may have been raised slightly above the surrounding substrate. Despite the relatively large numbers of nautilid conchs involved, detailed investigation of their preservation suggests that their accumulation reflects a reduction in sedimentation rates rather than an influx of empty conches or moribund animals. Throughout those horizons in which nautilids are present in relative abundance, the remains of ammonites are subordinate or rare. The reason for this unclear, and preferential dissolution of ammonite conchs during their burial does seem to provide a satisfactory solution to the problem.

Following the UNESCO inscription of the Swiss side of the mountain in 2003, the Italian side has been inscribed in 2010, stating that: “Monte San Giorgio is the only and best known evidence of the marine Triassic life but also preserves some important remains of terrestrial organisms. The numerous and diverse fossil finds are exceptionally preserved and complete. The long history of the research and the controlled management of the paleontological resources have allowed thorough studies and the classification of exceptional specimens which are the basis for a rich scientific paper production. For all these reasons Monte San Giorgio represents the main reference in the world concerning the Triassic faunas.” 4 THE GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF MONTE SAN GIORGIO Monte San Giorgio belongs to the broad tectonic feature named Sudalpino , which encompasses all the rock formations lying South of the Insubric Line. The oldest rocks of Monte San Giorgio outcrop in spots along the shores of the Ceresio Lake, between the Brusino Arsizio custom house and the built-up area of Porto Ceresio.

  • Precambrian and Paleozoic Geology of the Hudson Highlands
    41 PRE-CAMBRIAN AND PALEOZOIC GEOLOGY OF THE HUDSON HIGHLANDS Kurt E. Lowe The City College Trip D Introduction The route of Trip D crosses the Hudson Highlands northwestward (perpen­ dicular to the structural trend) affording opportunities of studying the petrology, structure and geomorphology of the Pre-Cambrian crystallines. It then turns northeastward to reach the northern gateway of the Hudson gorge at Cornwall-on­ Hudson by following the belt of early Paleozoic sediments along the northwest border of the Highlands. These sediments and their structural relations to the Highlands crystallines are briefly examined in the field. The return leg of the trip again eros !!Ie s the Highlands (this time oblique to the structure) along the west side of the Hudson gorge to Bear Mt., where it crosses the Ri~er to Peekskill. The reader is referred to Lowe (1949, 1950) from which much of the following information has been extracted. The Hudson Highlands The Highlands are a chain of low, but rugged, mountain ranges extending about 140 miles from Reading, Pa. northeastward through northern New Jersey and southeastern New York into western. Connecticut. They are mostly Pre­ Cambrian crystallines, representing an ancient orogenic belt of Grenville (? ) sediments which were folded, faulted, metamorphosed and invaded by several igneous phases (Plate 1). The Hudson Highlands, a rather loose geographical term, refers to that portion of the mountain chain which lie s athwart the Hudson River in New York State. Geomorphology Geomorphically the Highlands are known as the Reading Prong of the New England Upland. In view of the long, continued exposure of the Highlands to subaerial erosion (perhaps since early Mesozoic times) present topographic features exhibit the effects of structural and lithologic control to a high degree.

  • Paleontological Contributions
    THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PALEONTOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTIONS May 15, 1970 Paper 47 SIGNIFICANCE OF SUTURES IN PHYLOGENY OF AMMONOIDEA JURGEN KULLMANN AND JOST WIEDMANN Universinit Tubingen, Germany ABSTRACT Because of their complex structure ammonoid sutures offer best possibilities for the recognition of homologies. Sutures comprise a set of individual elements, which may be changed during the course of ontogeny and phylogeny as a result of heterotopy, hetero- morphy, and heterochrony. By means of a morphogenetic symbol terminology, sutural formulas may be established which show the composition of adult sutures as well as their ontogenetic development. WEDEKIND ' S terminology system is preferred because it is the oldest and morphogenetically the most consequent, whereas RUZHENTSEV ' S system seems to be inadequate because of its usage of different symbols for homologous elements. WEDEKIND ' S system includes only five symbols: E (for external lobe), L (for lateral lobe), I (for internal lobe), A (for adventitious lobe), U (for umbilical lobe). Investigations on ontogenetic development show that all taxonomic groups of the entire superorder Ammonoidea can be compared one with another by means of their sutural development, expressed by their sutural formulas. Most of the higher and many of the lower taxa can be solely characterized and arranged in phylogenetic relationship by use of their sutural formulas. INTRODUCTION Today very few ammonoid workers doubt the (e.g., conch shape, sculpture, growth lines) rep- importance of sutures as indication of ammonoid resent less complicated structures; therefore, phylogeny. The considerable advances in our numerous homeomorphs restrict the usefulness of knowledge of ammonoid evolution during recent these features for phylogenetic investigations.

The higher resilience of onshore communities to sea-level and environmental perturbations is a main chal- to third-order sea-level fluctuations and to the change from lenge in palaeoecology. Here we use quantitative abundance a carbonate to a siliciclastic system was driven by a few estimates, integrated within a sequence stratigraphic and abundant eurytopic species that persisted from the opening environmental framework, to reconstruct benthic commu- to the closing of the Seaway.
