CLARKE Joseph Clovis Kemner Laflamme was born at the little village of Saint Anselme, Dorchester County, Province of Quebec, September 19, 1849. His father was David Kemner Laflamme; his mother, Marie Josephte Jamme. After a usual course in the parochial schools he entered the Petit Seminaire of Quebec, and subsequently the arts course in the Laval University, from which he graduated in 1868, taking his master’s degree in 1884. Entering the Grand Seminaire for the theological course, he took his bachelor’s degree in 1871, his licentiate in 1872, and his doctorate in 1873. In 1872 he was ordained priest, and directly thereafter ap­ pointed professor of geology and physics in Laval University. He was successively director and superior of the seminaire, dean of the arts faculty of the university, and twice and for many years rector of the university. He was one of the founders of the Royal Society of Canada, its president in 1891, in the same year being the official delegate of Can­ ada at the International Geological Congress at Washington, and in 1897 was one of the vice-presidents of the Saint Petersburg Congress. He was designated in 1892 Bishop of Chicoutimi, a preferment he declined, and in 1894 he was appointed by the Pope protonotaire apostolique, a dignity which carries with it the title of monseigneur, by which he had become generally known. He was a director in the Canadian Forestry Association, a chevalier of the Legion of Honor, a member of the Geo­ logical Societies of France and of Belgium, as well as of several other dignified organizations.

  • Constraints on the Timescale of Animal Evolutionary History
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history Michael J. Benton, Philip C.J. Donoghue, Robert J. Asher, Matt Friedman, Thomas J. Near, and Jakob Vinther ABSTRACT Dating the tree of life is a core endeavor in evolutionary biology. Rates of evolution are fundamental to nearly every evolutionary model and process. Rates need dates. There is much debate on the most appropriate and reasonable ways in which to date the tree of life, and recent work has highlighted some confusions and complexities that can be avoided. Whether phylogenetic trees are dated after they have been estab- lished, or as part of the process of tree finding, practitioners need to know which cali- brations to use. We emphasize the importance of identifying crown (not stem) fossils, levels of confidence in their attribution to the crown, current chronostratigraphic preci- sion, the primacy of the host geological formation and asymmetric confidence intervals. Here we present calibrations for 88 key nodes across the phylogeny of animals, rang- ing from the root of Metazoa to the last common ancestor of Homo sapiens. Close attention to detail is constantly required: for example, the classic bird-mammal date (base of crown Amniota) has often been given as 310-315 Ma; the 2014 international time scale indicates a minimum age of 318 Ma.

  • Attachment J Assessment of Existing Paleontologic Data Along with Field Survey Results for the Jonah Field
    Attachment J Assessment of Existing Paleontologic Data Along with Field Survey Results for the Jonah Field June 12, 2007 ABSTRACT This is compilation of a technical analysis of existing paleontological data and a limited, selective paleontological field survey of the geologic bedrock formations that will be impacted on Federal lands by construction associated with energy development in the Jonah Field, Sublette County, Wyoming. The field survey was done on approximately 20% of the field, primarily where good bedrock was exposed or where there were existing, debris piles from recent construction. Some potentially rich areas were inaccessible due to biological restrictions. Heavily vegetated areas were not examined. All locality data are compiled in the separate confidential appendix D. Uinta Paleontological Associates Inc. was contracted to do this work through EnCana Oil & Gas Inc. In addition BP and Ultra Resources are partners in this project as they also have holdings in the Jonah Field. For this project, we reviewed a variety of geologic maps for the area (approximately 47 sections); none of maps have a scale better than 1:100,000. The Wyoming 1:500,000 geology map (Love and Christiansen, 1985) reveals two Eocene geologic formations with four members mapped within or near the Jonah Field (Wasatch – Alkali Creek and Main Body; Green River – Laney and Wilkins Peak members). In addition, Winterfeld’s 1997 paleontology report for the proposed Jonah Field II Project was reviewed carefully. After considerable review of the literature and museum data, it became obvious that the portion of the mapped Alkali Creek Member in the Jonah Field is probably misinterpreted.
