ABSTRACT STRATIGRAPHIC SETTING Nine species of goniatites occur in the upper part of the The fauna described in this paper occurs in Cane Hill Member and the basal part of the Prairie Grove roughly the ui:per half of the Cane Hill Member of Member of the Hale Formation. These species comprise the the Hale Formation and locally in the basal 1-3 earliest known cephalopod fauna from the Pennsylvanian feet of the Prairie Grove Member.

The stratigraphic interval in which all nine spe­ pebble conglomerate beds, which are associated cies occur and to which five of them appear to be restricted with calcareous sandstone beds that occur as lenses constitutes the Reticuloceras tiro Zone. This zone can be in the typical shale of the Cane Hill Member. Shells correlated approximately with the lowest subdivision of the of some of the small species, particularly those of Lower Reticuloceras (I^a) Zone of northwestern Europe in­ cluding the British Isles. Reticuloceras, were generally found incorporated The species described and figured in this paper are: Syn- within claystone pebbles; many of the larger gastrioceras globosum (Easton), Bisatoceras paynei Gordon, shells which occur in the conglomerate matrix, are Hudsonoceras moorei Quinn and Saunders, Cymoceras adonis fragmental.
