Volumes 1-3 were published in 1983, 1984, and 1988 as Geological Society of America Microform Publications 13, 14, and 17. The current volume includes references found as late as September, 1989, but by no means does this imply that the bibliography and catalogue ' are comprehensive to that date. In preparing this supplement, every attempt has been made to make it as up-to-date as possible, but bibliographical work by definition implies continuous updating. Volume 4 thus only supplements Volumes 1-3 by adding to the list of known Grand Canyon geological literature, and emends a few of the earlier entries. The opportunity is taken here to update some of the introductory material that appeared in Volume 1. Revised keys to Grand Canyon stratigraphy are included (taken from Spamer, 1989 ; see entry no. 1539 herein) . These keys summarize the Grand Canyon stratigraphic column as presently defined and illustrate the use of the various formational names by various authors between 1856 and 1989 . This volume has been completed at this time to make way for the completion of a much larger work, an annotated index to Grand Canyon geology (excluding paleontology) . The index will be a guide to the Grand Canyon geological literature organized by general subject: geologic maps , cross-sections , measured stratigraphic sections , correlation charts , photographs and other pictorial views, data presented in graphic and tabular form, field guides, and miscellaneous lists. The index will be cross­ referenced by geographic locality and stratigraphic position.

Completion of the index is expected soon . A similar index to Grand Canyon paleontology is still in preparation . In the present volume , the supplement to the Annotated catalogue of Grand Canyon Type Fossils updates previous entries . No new Grand Canyon Type Fossils are recorded in this volume , so the complete list remains as it appeared in Vol . 3. The present volume also sup�lements a bibliography which first appeared in Vol . 3, the "Annotated Bibliography of the World Literature on the Grand canyon Type Fossil Chuaria circularis Walcott , 1899 , an Index Fossil for the Late Proterozoic." New entries are provided herein. The summer of 1989 was a historical one for geologists who study the Grand canyon . The 28th International Geological Congress, whic� convened in Washington , D.C. , 9-19 July , offered a variety of ambitious field trips throughout North America . Two trips--one before and one after the meetings in Washington-­ travelled down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon , from Lees Ferry to Pierce Ferry , Lake Mead . In researching previous in�ernationally-sponsored trips to the Grand canyon , I discovered that no such trip had ever been made on the Colorado River. Several previous trips had visited the Canyon , either on the South Rim and North Rim; they had descended into the Canyon on some of the trails. The 28�h IGC trip that departed from Lees Ferry on 27 June (having organized the previous day in Las Vegas, Nevada) was the first internationally-sponsored group of geologists to travel down the river. The 20 registrants , with four crew members in two pontoon rafts , spent nine days on the river. Every aspect of Grand Canyon geology was examined, from Downloaded from http://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/books/book/chapter-pdf/3744430/9780813759203_frontmatter.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 -- ------- ----� ·---- -----------------., 6 basement petrology and regional tectonics to river hydraulics and sedimentation. The IGC guidebook ( Elston et al ., eds., 1989; entry no. 1383 herein) fer the Grand Canyon trips is the most comprehensive compendium of Grand Canyon geology to date . Spamer (1989 ; entry no . 1539 herein) prepared a summary volume that was distributed to the IGC river trip registrants, on The Development of Geological Studies in the Grand Canyon . It provides a view of how Grand Canyon geological research advanced from its beginnings, and completes the coverage of Grand canyon geological studies first presented in 1984 in a similar review of Grand Canyon paleontology (Spamer, 1984 ; see entry no . 1281 in Vol . 3 of the annotated bibliography) . As time passes, the need will arise to issue a fifth volume in this series. In the meantime, new material--and newly found older material--will continue to be compiled. The author will gratefully acknowledge receipt of citations which have been missed in these volumes, and reprints of new papers will be a welcome addition to the library on Grand Canyon geology which has been assembled .

These tables summarize the Grand Canyon stratigraphic column as presently defined, and illustrate the evolution of nomenclature of the Grand Canyon stratigraphic column as it appeared in certain key references . The tables were based on a more comprehensive survey of more than 100 references which remains in manuscript form . Table 1. Grand Canyon stratigraphic column . Table 2.
