Alum Bluff is the tallest natural exposure in Florida with elevations near the base of the bluff at about 50 feet above MSL and elevations at the top of the bluff near 175 feet above MSL. During low stages of the Apalachicola River approximately 125 feet of vertical exposure can be observed. Numerous authors have described the geology and paleontology of this famous locality. Two previous SEGS field trips have focused on this area (SEGS Guidebook 25 and 42).

McClellan2 ABSTRACT Numerous phosphatized internal molds ofan articulate brachiopod, along with fossils from four other phyla (Cnidaria, Mollusca, Annelida, and Echinodermata), were collected from several dredge sites in the Gulf of Mexico. The samples were collected during two cruises aboard the RF Suncoaster in December 1989 and May 1993, approximately 250 km west-southwest of Tampa, Florida These cruises were not designed to collect fossils, rather they were aimed at studying the origin of phosphorite nodules and hardgrounds developing in response to marginal upwelling of the Gulf of Mexico Loop Current along the western margin of Florida.

This is the culmination of a study of the Hawthorn sediments which exist throughout much of Florida. The Hawthorn Group is of great importanceto the state since it constitutes the confining unit over the Floridan aquifer system. It is also of economic importance to the state due to its inclusion of major phosphorite deposits. This publication will be an important reference for future geological in­ vestigations in Florida.

  • Fossil Cenozoic Crassatelline Bivalves from Peru: New Species and Generic Insights
    Fossil Cenozoic crassatelline bivalves from Peru: New species and generic insights THOMAS J. DEVRIES DeVries, T.J. 2016. Fossil Cenozoic crassatelline bivalves from Peru: New species and generic insights. Acta Palae onto- logica Polonica 61 (3): 661–688. Discoveries of new fossil Cenozoic crassatellines in Peru provide a new phylogenetic perspective on “large” Neogene genera, in which four lineages are considered to have arisen independently from different Paleogene Crassatella ances- tors. Latest Oligocene and early Miocene species of the new genus Tilicrassatella gen. nov.―T. ponderosa, T. torrens sp. nov., and T. sanmartini sp. nov. from the East Pisco Basin―probably evolved from the late Eocene species, Crassatella rafaeli sp. nov., which itself differed in significant respects from slightly older species of the East Pisco Basin, C. neo- rhynchus and C. pedroi sp. nov. The paciphilic genus, Hybolophus, is raised to full generic status. Added to its ranks are the East Pisco Miocene species H. maleficae sp. nov., H. terrestris sp. nov., and the oldest species of the genus, the late Eocene or Oligocene H. disenum sp. nov. from the Talara Basin of northern Peru. Kalolophus gen. nov., encompassing circum-Caribbean fossil species, the extant species, K. speciosus, and the trans-isthmus species, K. antillarum, appears to have evolved from the early Oligocene Floridian species, Crassatella portelli sp. nov. The genus Marvacrassatella is a western Atlantic Miocene lineage most likely descended from Kalolophus. The genus Eucrassatella is restricted to Australian and New Zealand taxa. The Eocene New Zealand species, Spissatella media, is transferred to Eucrassatella and deemed a candidate for the most recent common ancestor of younger Eucrassatella and all Spissatella species.

COMMISSION ON GEOLOGY, MINES AND WATER RESOURCES Arthur B. Stewart, Chairman Baltimore G. Victor Cushwa Williamsport Harry R. Hall Hyattsville Joseph C. Lore, Jr Solomons Island Mervin A. Pentz Denton PREFACE One of the projects of the Maryland Geological Survey was a series of county reports dealing primarily with the geology and mineral resources but including brief descriptions of other natural resources supplemented by an atlas of a topographic map, and geologic, soils, and forestry maps printed on the topo- graphic base. The county report and the geologic map of Prince Georges County were published in 1911, the forestry map in 1912, and the soils map in 1913. A completely revised topographic map of Prince Georges County was pub- lished in 1946. The 1911 edition of the geologic map was exhausted in 1947, and the preparation of a new geologic map on the revised topographic base started in 1948. The United States Geological Survey very generously assigned to Dr. C. Wythe Cooke, one of the foremost authorities on the geology of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, the remapping of the geology of Prince Georges County.
