After the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH) sponsored a six-month Pittsburgh visit by Martens to work on his fossils with Dr. Dave Berman, an expert on Late Paleozoic tetrapods. This began a collaboration that has continued to present time. The fossils from the Bromacker quarry are preserved in the Early Permian Tambach Formation and are about 290 million years old. The Tambach Formation was deposited in a small, intermontane basin, the Tambach Basin, that was internally drained and at times lacked permanent water, a rarely preserved setting for Early Permian times. Extremely well-preserved, nearly complete and articulated vertebrate fossils primarily occur in two massive sheet flood units in the Bromacker quarry strata. The flooding events that formed these units are thought to have killed and buried the animals preserved within them. The Bromacker vertebrate fauna consists of a variety of terrestrial amphibians and reptiles and is dominated by herbivores. Because no fossils of fish or aquatic animals have been discovered in over 35 years of collecting, they presumably did not inhabit the Tambach basin. This is in stark contrast to vertebrate faunas from contemporaneous localities in the American southwest that were deposited in coastal and alluvial plains. Faunas from these settings contain fish and mainly aquatic and semi- terrestrial amphibians and reptiles, with carnivores outnumbering herbivores. Thus, the invasion of vertebrates into upland regions away from permanent water and the associated food resource of aquatic and semi-terrestrial vertebrates, seems to have led to the diversification of herbivorous tetrapods and the development of the modern terrestrial ecosystem, in which numerous herbivores support a few top carnivores. Speaker Biography Amy C. Henrici is a Collection Manager in the Section of Vertebrate Paleontology, Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH). She received a BA in Biology from Hiram College in 1979 and a MS in Geology from the University of Pittsburgh in 1989. She began her career in the Section of Vertebrate Paleontology at CMNH in 1979 as a Laboratory Technician. She became a Curatorial Assistant in 1980 and worked as a Scientific Preparator from 1984–2004. From 2003–2004 she also served as Acting Collection Manager and became Collection Manager in 2005. Her field experiences span the Late Paleozoic–Quaternary. More specifically, she has collected fish, amphibian, and reptile fossils from the Late Paleozoic of western USA and Germany; frog, dinosaur and mammal fossils from the Mesozoic of USA; and mammal and herp fossils, including frogs, from the Cenozoic of USA. Henrici’s Master Thesis described fossil frogs she collected from the Eocene of central Wyoming, and she has since published on frog fossils from the Mesozoic–Cenozoic. She began collaborating with Dr. Dave Berman (now Curator Emeritus at CMNH) on research projects involving Late Paleozoic fossil vertebrates in 1998 while preparing fossils under his supervision. This collaboration continues today and currently focuses on vertebrate fossils from the Cutler Group in southeastern Utah and the Bromacker quarry in central Germany. 2 PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT As I think back about this time last year, I I was thinking recall the excitement for the holidays and about the the end of another year.

  • The Troubled First Geological Survey of Pennsylvania
    "The Insanities of an Exalted Imagination" The Troubled First Geological Survey of Pennsylvania THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY witnessed a burgeoning demand for basic geological knowledge in the United States. Perhaps nowhere was this more true than in Pennsylvania, possessor of the largest coal and iron deposits in the eastern states. The nascent academic and scientific geology community claimed a special role in this endeavor. "If knowledge is power, so also is wealth," contended the geologists, and no matter how basic or descriptive the research, the commonwealth would ultimately be "greatly enriched" by their efforts.' In contrast, capitalists did not pause to await the results of scientific investigation in their haste to assemble an industrial empire, relying instead on common sense, practical experience, and mechanical innova- tion. In this paper I trace the first geological survey of Pennsylvania, led by University of Pennsylvania professor Henry Darwin Rogers, com- menced in 1836 for a five-year term, but not officially completed until 1858. I emphasize the broader frameworks of commerce, politics, and scientific thought that defined and shaped the survey, rather than its specific geological findings. Indeed, these findings were widely consid- 2 ered to be of marginal scientific and economic value even in their time. In the early 1830s, Tennessee and Massachusetts became the first states to authorize comprehensive statewide geological surveys. By the end of the decade, fourteen other states had followed suit, Pennsylvania IThe quotation is that of Peter A. Brown, corresponding secretary of the Geological Society of Pennsylvania.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OP THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XXIII ELEVENTH MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF WILLIAM MORRIS DAVIS 1850-1934 BY REGINALD A. DALY PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE AUTUMN MEETING, 1944 WILLIAM MORRIS DAVIS 1850-1934 BY REGINALD A. DALY William Morris Davis won distinction as geologist, meteor- ologist, and geomorphologist, but primarily as teacher. He made personal, outdoor researches in every continent except Ant- arctica, as well as in island groups of the Atlantic and the Pacific; yet his international fame rests chiefly on his development of a system of thought concerning the reliefs, the scenery, of our planet. His system is the "American" system, but it is appli- cable to the landscapes of the whole world. His early training in geology led him to the principle by which he, more than any- one else, has revolutionized the teaching of, and research on, the endlessly varied forms of the lands and coastlines. To geographers and geologists alike he was an apostle bringing to them the gospel of method in research and method in the presentation of the results of research. For him the root of the matter is evolution, orderly development. Many geologists had used this principle, so essential to understanding the protean crust of the earth, but few geographers had used it in describing land forms. Davis emphasized a mode of thinking and for its expression he devised a system which has greatly appealed to teachers and investigators in many foreign countries as well as in the United States of America. While creating his de- scriptive method in terms of evolutionary changes, he found our English tongue sadly deficient.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

DAVIS PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE AUTUMN MEETING, 19*3 CITY OF WASHINGTON PUBLISHED BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES June, 1915 WASHINGTON, D. C. TRESS OF JUDD &. DETWEILER, INC 1915 PETER LESLEY Introduction.—For more than the later fifty years of the last century, the name and work of Peter Lesley were closely bound up with the geology of Pennsylvania. He became as- sistant on the first Geological Survey of the State in 1839 and drew the geological map that was published in the Final Re- port of that Survey twenty years later; he was extensively consulted as expert in various geological problems, but par- ticularly in connection with coal, iron and oil; he was director of the Second Geological Survey of the State and closely superintended all of its work. He undoubtedly knew more about the geology of Pennsylvania and was more widely known as representing the geological formations and resources of that State than any other man, but his knowledge ran far beyond the State boundaries. The two admirable volumes, "Life and Letters of Peter and Susan Lesley," edited by their elder daughter, Mrs. Mary Les- ley Ames, of St. Paul, Minn., and dedicated to the younger daughter and the ten grandchildren (Putnam's Sons, New York, 1909), afford unusually abundant and authentic material from which to frame the narrative of this memoir. Sketches by a number of Lesley's associates* have supplied personal esti- mates of his career; extracts from these latter sources are often indicated by single quotation-marks.
