  • Biostratigraphy and Paleoecology of the Upper Devonian Ithaca Formation Near Cortland, New York
    Biostratigraphy and Paleoecology of the Upper Devonian Ithaca Formation near Cortland, New York by Jonathan W. Harrington Geological Consultant Groton, New York and W. Graham Heaslip State University College at Cortland Cortland, New York It i s particularly appropriate that we examine the Ithaca Formation in the Cortland area during the Golden Anniversary Meeting of the New York State Geological Association. The rocks of this region are of con­ siderable historical interest, having received attention since the earli­ est days of geolog ical investigation in New York State . In fact, the presence of fossil shells in the Devonian rocks of New York was first noted in 1751 at a hillside outcrop in Cortland County by John Bartram, a member of the Lewis Evans Onondaga expedition (We lls, 1963). The New York Devonian is unique in its completeness, fossil content. numerous outcrops, and relatively undisturbed nature. It is the standard reference section for North America and displays a classic example of facies transition. Stratigraphic and paleontologic investigation over the past century has produced a wealth of infonnation, but uDespite this, perhaps another century of rigorous study wi ll be required before a thor­ ough understanding of its paleontology, lithology, stratigraphy and paleoecology can be attained. n (Rickard. 1964). The early stratigraphic work in the Upper Devonian of New York was done mainly by James Hall. J. M. Clarke. and H. S. Williams between 1840 and 1915 . These workers subdivided the succession, described the faunas and attempted to correlate along the strike. Due to comp l ex interfinger­ ing of the argillaceous western sequence with the thicker arenaceous eastern sequence, correlations proved difficult.

It is also the time when Joan Burke and I get to harvest and see the results of our winter labours, as we integrate all the information & contributions sent in by you (Thank You) into a new and hopefully ever better Newsletter. Through the hard work of editor Jeffrey Over, Paleontographica Americana, vol. no. 62, has just been published to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Pander Society and the 150th Anniversary of the first conodont paper by Christian Pander in 1856; the titles and abstracts are here reproduced courtesy of the Paleontological Research Institution in Ithica, N.Y. Glen Merrill and others represented the Pander Society at a conference entitled “Geologic Problem Solving with Microfossils”, sponsored by NAMS, the North American Micropaleontology Section of SEPM, in Houston, Texas, March 15-18, 2009; the titles of papers that dealt with or mentioned conodonts, are included in this Newsletter. Although there have been no official Pander Society meetings since newsletter # 40, a year ago, there were undoubtedly many unofficial ones; many of these would have been helped by suitable refreshments, the latter likely being the reason I didn’t get to hear about the meetings.
