Aly , Sherief A. Sadek Geology Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: The Tertiary marine succession of the north Western Desert, Egypt, is rich in vertebrates, molluscs and other Nautiloids invertebrates, but nautiloids are less abundant. Five nautiloid species, are reported herein: Eutrephoceras sp., Sharks Aturoidea parkinsoni, Aturia aturi, Aturia cf. alabamensis and, Aturia cf. gujaratensis. They are collected and Tertiary identified from the lowermost part of Gebel Minqar Tebaghbagh area. The studied section is located 90 km to the Siwa oasis east of Siwa Oasis at the south of western side of the Qattara Depression. The recovered specimens are mostly Western desert crushed, partially fragmented internal molds, mostly showing badly preserved suture lines and dorsal to sub- Egypt central siphuncles. The nautiloids occur in abundance in random orientation through a clastic-dominated suc- cession. They are mostly represented by middle-aged and mature specimens. Recently, the lower part of Gebel Tabaghbagh was assigned to Late Eocene. 1.

Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.

SQUIRES Department of Geological Sciences, California State University, Northridge 91330 ABSTRACT—Rare specimens of the nautiloids Nautilus and Aturia and extremely rare specimens of a sepiamorph sepiid are described from the late Eocene Hoko River Formation, northern Olympic Peninsula, Washington. The well-preserved partial phragmocones are from channel-fill clastics deposited on the inner and middle slopes of a submarine-fan system. The Nautilus specimen is allied to N. cookanum Whitfield from middle Eocene strata, New Jersey, and is probably conspecific with Nautilus sp. (Miller) from late Eocene strata, northwestern Oregon, both of which were previously assigned to Eutrephoceras. This is the first record of Nautilus in the northeastern Pacific. The Aturia specimen is tentatively identified as A. cf. A. alabamensis (Morton), a species previously only known from late Eocene strata in the Atlantic-Gulf Coastal area and northeastern Mexico. Aturia alabamensis may be the same as numerous Eocene North American aturiid species. The two sepiamorph sepiid specimens resemble Belosepia Voltz but are probably generically distinct. They are only the second record of sepiids in the Eocene of the northeastern Pacific. INTRODUCTION rizian Stage (late Eocene).
