  • Section 4.5 – Cultural and Paleontological Resources
    4.5 Cultural and Paleontological Resources 4.5 CULTURAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section evaluates the cultural and paleontological resources impacts of the proposed Plan. The information presented was compiled from multiple sources as noted throughout the section. 4.5.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS 4.5.1.1 CULTURAL SETTING Prehistoric Setting The discussion below briefly summarizes the major cultural developments in the region before the arrival of Spanish colonists in 1769. It draws mainly from several decades of archaeological research, which generally recognizes three major periods (Paleoindian, or Paleoamerican; Archaic; and Late Prehistoric), each marked by certain changes in the archaeological record. These archaeological changes appear to reflect a variety of shifts in technology, settlement, and land use. Of the 109 federally recognized Indian tribes in California, 18 are located in San Diego County. The tribal members of today's bands represent four Indian cultural/linguistic groups who have populated this entire region for more than 10,000 years, taking advantage of its abundant natural resources and diverse ecological system for their livelihoods. As described in proposed Plan Appendix G, the four nations are: the Luiseno, Cahuilla, Cupeno, and Kumeyaay. Paleoamerican Period (12,000 to 7,000 Years Before Present [B.P.]) Despite decades of research, the early prehistory of coastal southern California remains poorly understood. The archaeological record does reveal that humans had appeared by about 13,000 years ago on the Channel Islands, where they lived primarily by fishing and shellfishing. These early island components are of interest in that they seem to reflect fully developed maritime economies that were distinct from, but roughly contemporaneous with, the Clovis tradition represented throughout much of interior North America.

Darragh1 and George W. Kendrick2.3 I Department of Invertebrate Palaeontology, Museum Victoria, 1'.0. Box 666, Melbourne, Victoria 3001, Australia. Email: tdarragh(il.Illuseum.vic.gov.au :' Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Western Australian Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool D.C., Western Australia 6986, Australia. 1 School of Earth and Ceographical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawlev, Western Australia 6009, Australia. Abstract - Silicified Middle to Late Eocene shallow water sandstones outcropping in the Lower Murchison District near Kalbarri township contain a silicified fossil fauna including foraminifera, sponges, bryozoans, solitary corals, brachiopods, echinoids and molluscs. The known molluscan fauna consists of 51 species, comprising 2 cephalopods, 14 bivalves, 1 scaphopod and 34 gastropods. Of these taxa three are newly described, Cerithium lvilya, Zeacolpus bartol1i, and Lyria lamellatoplicata. 25 of these molluscs are identical to or closely comparable with taxa from the southern Australian Eocene. The occurrence of this fauna extends the Southeast Australian Province during the Eocene from southwest Western Australia along the west coast north to at least 27° present day south latitude; consequently the province is here renamed the Southern Australian Province. Keywords: siliceous fossils, Eocene, Kalbarri, molluscs, new taxa, Carnarvon Basin, biogeography, Southern Australian Province. INTRODUCTION The source deposit, a pallid to ferruginous silicified Eocene marine molluscan assemblages from sandstone, forms a weakly defined, low breakaway coastal sedimentary basins in southern Australia trending N-S and sloping gently westward.

  • Morphological Variations of the Shell of the Bivalve Lucina Pectinata
    I S S N 2 3 47-6 8 9 3 Volume 10 Number2 Journal of Advances in Biology Morphological variations of the shell of the bivalve Lucina pectinata (Gmelin, 1791) Emma MODESTIN PhD of Biogeography, zoology and Ecology University of the French Antilles, UMR AREA DEV ABSTRACT In Martinique, the species Lucina pectinata (Gmelin, 1791) is called "mud clam, white clam or mangrove clam" by bivalve fishermen depending on the harvesting environment. Indeed, the individuals collected have differences as regards the shape and colour of the shell. The hypothesis is that the shape of the shell of L. pectinata (P. pectinatus) shows significant variations from one population to another. This paper intends to verify this hypothesis by means of a simple morphometric study. The comparison of the shape of the shell of individuals from different populations was done based on samples taken at four different sites. The standard measurements (length (L), width or thickness (E - épaisseur) and height (H)) were taken and the morphometric indices (L/H; L/E; E/H) were established. These indices of shape differ significantly among the various populations. This intraspecific polymorphism of the shape of the shell of P. pectinatus could be related to the nature of the sediment (granulometry, density, hardness) and/or the predation. The shells are significantly more elongated in a loose muddy sediment than in a hard muddy sediment or one rich in clay. They are significantly more convex in brackish environments and this is probably due to the presence of more specialised predators or of more muddy sediments. Keywords Lucina pectinata, bivalve, polymorphism of shape of shell, ecology, mangrove swamp, French Antilles.

INTRODUCTION, SYSTEMATIC SURVEY AND PAGE REFERENCES In the first part of this work, published in 1969, I gave a general intro- duction to the Suriname marine Mollusca ; in this second part the Bivalvia and Scaphopoda are treated. The system (and frequently also the nomen- clature) of the Bivalvia are those employed in the "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, (N) Mollusca 6, Part I, Bivalvia, Volume 1 and 2". These volumes were issued in 1969 and contain the most modern system of the Bivalvia. For the Scaphopoda the system of Thiele (1935) is used. Since I published in 1968 a preliminary list of the marine Bivalvia of Suriname, several additions and changes have been made. I am indebted to Messrs. D. J. Green, R. H. Hill and P. G. E. F.

  • Seventy-Five Years of Molluscs: a History of the American
    Amer. Malac. Bull. 28: 191-213 (2010) Seventy-fi ve years of molluscs: A history of the American Malacological Society on the occasion of its 75th annual meeting Paula M. Mikkelsen Paleontological Research Institution, 1259 Trumansburg Road, Ithaca, New York 14850, U.S.A. Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The American Malacological Union (now Society), founded in 1931 as a national organization of collectors, students, professionals, and others interested in the holistic study of molluscs, is now an international society mainly of professionals. Although diminished in size, it continues to attract and fund students, publish a respected peer-reviewed journal, and host annual meetings featuring world-class symposia. In recognition of the society’s 75th annual meeting in 2009, I provide a detailed account of the founding, meetings, membership, publications, governance, and societal identity of AMS, gleaned from meeting programs, newsletters, scrapbooks, correspondence, and the memories of Past Presidents and other members. Anniversaries are times of celebration, remembering, Congress as the Populist Party candidate in 1898, and for refl ection, and summarizing. The 75th annual meeting1 of the governor of Maine in 1900 as the Socialist Party candidate American Malacological Union (AMU; now Society, hereaf- (Martin 1995, Murray 1999, see additional references on ter AMS) held in Ithaca, New York, in the summer of 2009, Lermond cited by Coan et al. 2009). Lermond’s museum was no exception. Today’s AMS is fraught with problems: included Indian artifacts, rocks and minerals, herbarium diminishing membership, increasing costs, decreasing return specimens, stuffed mammals and birds, bird eggs and nests, on investments, and fewer and fewer members willing to hold pinned insects, and the largest shell collection in the state of offi ce.
