  • Columnals (PDF)
    2248 22482 2 4 V. INDEX OF COLUMNALS 8 Remarks: In this section the stratigraphic range given under the genus is the compiled range of all named species based solely on columnals assigned to the genus. It should be noted that this range may and often differs considerably from the range given under the same genus in Section I, because that range is based on species identified on cups or crowns. All other abbreviations and format follow that of Section I. Generic names followed by the type species are based on columnals. Genera, not followed by the type species, are based on cups and crowns as given in Section I. There are a number of unlisted columnal taxa from the literature that are indexed as genera recognized on cups and crowns. Bassler and Moodey (1943) did not index columnal taxa that were not new names or identified genera with the species unnamed. I have included some of the omissions of Bassler and Moodey, but have not made a search of the extensive literature specifically for the omitted citations because of time constraints. Many of these unlisted taxa are illustrated in the early state surveys of the eastern and central United States. Many of the columnal species assigned to genera based on cups or crowns are incorrect assignments. An uncertain, but significant, number of the columnal genera are synonyms of other columnal genera as they are based on different parts of the stem of a single taxon. Also a number of the columnal genera are synonyms of genera based on cups and crowns as they come from more distal parts of the stem not currently known to be associated with the cup or crown.

Previously divided primarily on the basis of paleontologic units, the approximately 60-80 m thick Hopkinton Dolomite in eastern Iowa also comprises a set oflithologically unique subunits. With the development of a new capability for inter-regional correlation of Lower Silurian strata based on the use of sea-level curves, it is especially appropriate to recognize these subdivisions of the Hopkinton Dolomite as formal member units. Locally, the relationships shown by these units may also contribute to a better understanding of the Plum River Fault Zone and its associated structures in Iowa and Illinois.

  • Upper Carboniferous–Lower Permian Buildups of the Carnic Alps, Austria–Italy 201 Upper Carboniferous–Lower Permian Buildups of the Carnic Alps, Austria–Italy
    Published in "SEPM Special Publication No. 78: 201-217, 2003" which should be cited to reference this work. UPPER CARBONIFEROUS–LOWER PERMIAN BUILDUPS OF THE CARNIC ALPS, AUSTRIA–ITALY 201 UPPER CARBONIFEROUS–LOWER PERMIAN BUILDUPS OF THE CARNIC ALPS, AUSTRIA–ITALY ELIAS SAMANKASSOU Université de Fribourg, Département de Géosciences, Géologie et Paléontologie, Pérolles, CH-1700 Fribourg, Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: A variety of buildup types occur in the upper Paleozoic Auernig and Rattendorf Groups, Carnic Alps, at the present-day Austrian–Italian border, including coral, diverse algal (Anthracoporella, Archaeolithophyllum, Rectangulina, and phylloid green), bryozoan, brachiopod, and sponge buildups. Thin mounds and banks have a diverse fossil association (e.g., Archaeolithophyllum–bryozoan– brachiopod mounds) and occur in siliciclastic-dominated intervals, as do coral buildups. Some of the biodiverse thin mounds occur in strata that were deposited in cooler water. However, the thickest mounds are nearly monospecific (e.g., Anthracoporella mounds) and grew in carbonate-dominated, warm-water environments. Most of the mounds considered in this paper, particularly algal mounds, grew in quiet-water environments below wave base but within the photic zone. Mound growth was variously stopped by siliciclastic input, e.g., auloporid coral mounds, sea-level rise, e.g., the drowning of Anthracoporella mounds of the Rattendorf Group, influence of cool water, e.g., algal mounds of the Auernig Group overlain by limestone of cool-water biotic association, or sea-level fall, e.g., phylloid algal mounds that were subsequently exposed subaerially. There is no indication of ecological succession during mound growth. Growth, dimensions, biotic association, and termination of mounds seem to have been controlled by extrinsic factors, mainly sea level and water temperature.

The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder. All rights reserved. No reuse allowed without permission. Abstract.—Myriapods are one of the dominant terrestrial arthropod groups including the diverse and familiar centipedes and millipedes. Although molecular evidence has shown that Myriapoda is monophyletic, its internal phylogeny remains contentious and understudied, especially when compared to those of Chelicerata and Hexapoda. Until now, efforts have focused on taxon sampling (e.g., by including a handful of genes in many species) or on maximizing matrix occupancy (e.g., by including hundreds or thousands of genes in just a few species), but a phylogeny maximizing sampling at both levels remains elusive. In this study, we analyzed forty Illumina transcriptomes representing three myriapod classes (Diplopoda, Chilopoda and Symphyla); twenty-five transcriptomes were newly sequenced to maximize representation at the ordinal level in Diplopoda and at the family level in Chilopoda.

  • Affected Environment 4
    Section 4 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 4. Affected Environment 4.0 Affected Environment The study corridor used to identify various resources within the program’s affected environment is comprised of the seven sections described in Chapter 3, Section 3.3.7.1 and illustrated in Exhibit 3.3‐10. Depending on the resource and the available information collected, the width of the study corridor ranges from 100 feet to the counties in which the study corridor traversed. The study corridors are described in each of the resource sections. 4.1 Existing Land Use 4.1.1 Development Patterns Historically, Chicago and St. Louis have served as major continental transportation centers, both tracing their origins to water and rail transportation routes. Chicago prospered from its strategic location on Lake Michigan and access to eastern markets through the Erie Canal and the Great Lakes. St. Louis originally developed from its role as a port on the Mississippi River that provided access to domestic and foreign markets. During the 19th Century, the addition of railroads linking these cities forged an economic lifeline between Chicago and St. Louis. Construction of the rail network spawned the growth of numerous communities that served as regional centers for the collection and distribution of goods for a rich agricultural region. The influence of the railroad remained strong until interstate highways joined the transportation system in the 1950s and 1960s. In contrast to the railroads, which created new communities along their length to maintain and support the railroads, interstate highways were constructed around, and often bypassed some communities. Because the interstates had limited points of access, county roads that connected with or crossed over them linking existing communities, became particularly important to the rural areas.
