ABSTRACT

Henry V. Howe, the founder of the current academic program in geology at Louisiana State University (LSU), and a renowned ostracod specialist, was also a distinguished foraminiferal paleontologist. His best work in that field, involving the discovery of many new species, was on the taxonomy of Eocene Foraminifera of Louisiana. The present H.V. Howe Type Collection of Microfossils began with Howe’s gift of slides to LSU. This collection, enriched by contributions from later workers, now includes over 580 slides of foraminiferal primary type specimens, with holotypes and syntypes of 361 species and 15 taxa labeled as “varieties.” Information regarding these specimens, including current nomenclature of the species, geologic age, stratigraphic level, and geographic location, is given in this report.

KEY WORDS: Foraminifera, Howe, Collections, History, Micropaleontology

INTRODUCTION

Henry Van Wagenen Howe (1896–1973), then 26 years old with a fresh Ph.D. from Stanford, was appointed an Assistant Professor of geology at Louisiana State University (LSU) in 1922. The terms of the appointment were unusual for someone at the beginning of an academic career. Howe came to a moribund department; the old program had come to an end three years previously with the passing of Frederick Emerson (1871–1919), its last professor (Howe and Moresi 1933). Howe (Fig. 1) was given a “mandate from the governor and the university president to build a creditable department of geology to aid the state in the development of its burgeoning petroleum industry” (Morgan 1974). He met the challenge by recruiting excellent faculty, encouraging field research on the geology of Louisiana parishes, and attracting many talented students. He was rewarded by the university with a series of promotions: Associate Professor in 1924, Full Professor and Department Head in 1925, Director, School of Geology in 1931, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in 1944, and Boyd Professor (the most distinguished rank for an LSU teacher) in 1965 (Braunstein 1957; Morgan 1974). At the same time, Howe created and fostered one of the best university research programs in micropaleontology, using stratigraphic records of Ostracoda and Foraminifera. He received many awards from learned societies, the most notable being the Sidney Powers Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (Fisk 1960; Morgan 1974). Howe retired from Fig. 1: Henry V. Howe, circa 1941, photograph by Fonville Winans. LSU in 1966 but continued to collaborate on publications (Source: Archives of the Section of Fossil Protists and Invertebrates, and catalog his microfossil collections until his death in 1973 LSU Museum of Natural Science; published with permission of the (Morgan 1974).

Russell (1895–1971), his distinguished colleague made significant contributions to the study of Gulf Coast (Morgan 1974, 1987). Foraminifera. His primary interest at this time is reflected in Research on Foraminifera – Howe’s research his own publications and the thesis topics of his graduate and training efforts in micropaleontology fit well with the students. For example, the very first graduate thesis completed petroleum geology emphasis of his department because the in the new geology department was on Foraminifera from size, abundance, durability, and diversity of microfossils make outcrops in Louisiana (Harris 1926). them useful in paleoenvironmental and geochronological The abundant and diverse Eocene Foraminifera (56– analyses, and thus in petroleum exploration.
