Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fossil Fishes of Diatom Beds of Lompoc, California Since that time, through the courtesy of Mr. Arthur H. Krieger, director of the Celite Products Company, and his assistants, Messrs. Ed ward Porteous and Edward B. Starr, Dr. Gilbert and Dr. Jordan have successively Visited these deposits, making extensive collections. Still later, Mr. Willard J. Classen, a student in Geology at Stanford University, through the kindly interest Of Mr. Timothy Hopkins, has spent some time there securing fossil fishes for Stanford University. A large collection of fish has been Obtained, this forming the basis of the present paper. The Lompoc deposit itself is wholly unique. It lies in Santa Barbara County, California, within an angle on the north side of the Sierra Santa Ynez, a range composed mainly of Miocene sandstones and shales. This angle or ancient bay covers about four square miles. In this space a continuous and almost uniform mass of diatoms has been deposited, to the maximum depth of feet. The erosion of a stream on the west side has cut this deposit through to its bottom of yellowish sandstone. Over most of this space, the diatom deposits come to the surface, but in places the mass is overlaid by a coarse, hard breccia or conglomerate, containing many bones of whales, and occasionally teeth of sharks. On the extreme west, it is overlaid by limestone in which a species of Pecten is very abundant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ...vertebral column of the very rare type of that genus, Zaprora Silenus Jordan, thus far found only about Vancouver Island. The affinities of Zaprora are not yet determined. On the whole, it seems safest to assume that Arosteus is an ally of Zaprora, which is probably a last relic of a disappearing group. (Aoaiog, slender; ooteov, bone.) 10. Araeosteus rothi Jordan and Gilbert, new genus and species. (Plate XIV) Type No. 315. Part of a fish 10 inches long to end of anal, the head crushed, showing strong striae on opercles. Head 3y2 to end of anal; depth 44; vertebrae slender, not grooved, hour-glass shaped, 10 ] (7) + 13 to middle of anal, probably about 43 in all. First dorsal of 15 to 20 slender spines, rather wide set. Second with 15 to 20 slender rays, apparently simple, no sign of branching anywhere. No evidence that the spines and soft rays are differentiated. The last rays certainly and perhaps some intervening spines are lost. The fin was most likely continuous. Tnterneurals moderate, oblique, in pairs. Interhaemals very oblique, rather strong, the fin inserted far behind front of soft dorsal. Anal showing about 15 rays, all simple. Some or all of interhaemals and interneurals in pairs, two springing from one neural or one haemal, one or often two between each two interhaemals and interneurals, mostly longer than the haemals and neurals; ribs slender, very oblique. This seems to be the same as No. XI, from Lompoc, an indetermined specimen figured in our Fossil Fishes of Southern California. (Named for Almon Edward Roth of Stanford University.) Family SERRANIDJE. Emmachaere Jordan and Gilbert. (Type: Emmach.ere Rhachites Jordan and Gilbert.) Allied to Stereolepis Ayres, but with stronger dorsal spines. Body robust, the depth about...

This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fossil Fishes of Southern California In the Sierra Santa Monica of Southern California is a body of sandstones and shales, which are considerably older than the diatomaceous deposits referred to the Monterey age of the Miocene period. The latter are sometimes segregated under the name of Puente. The fish-fauna of these earlier rocks is evidently much older than that of the Monterey deposits and of the lowest Miocene or possibly of the Oligocene age. As this peculiar fish-fauna is well developed in the fine sandstones about Soledad Pass, in the extreme northern part of Los Angeles County, we may provisionally call this group the Soledad deposits, using a new but temporary name, leaving the stratigraphical determination to geologists. From Soledad deposits as thus indicated the geological collection of Stanford University has received fossil fishes from four localities - 1. Brown's Canon in the Sierra Santa Monica, four miles north of Soldiers' Home and about ten miles northeast of the city of Santa Monica. The specimens from this locality arc in a pale yellowish sandstone, and mostly fairly preserved. Etringus scintillans is well represented, with two incomplete specimens and many detached scales of Ganolytes cameo. There is also a single fine example and some fragments of Auxides sanctae-monicae. The two small examples of Buebiceps Raninus come from Brown's Canon as also the type of Rogenites bowersi. 2. Moore's Canon in the same neighborhood, in soft, fine, white sandstone. The specimens found here are mainly Rogenio solitudinis. 3. Soledad Pass, near Lancaster, about forty miles north of Los Angeles. The numerous specimens are in rather fine, white shaly sandstone, much like that of Moore's Canon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ... triangular in outline, its depth at nape one and four-fifths in its length. Mouth long, oblique, the mandible apparently projecting, the maxillary oar-shaped, slightly emarginate behind; its length about four in head; no teeth preserved; bones of head much confused; a rather sharp bony ridge running horizontally back from the eye, and apparently a broader bony ridge on temporal region behind this; opercle large, rough, but without spines, the lower part with coarse, radiating ridges. Vertebrae very strong, deeper than long, with strong interneurals. Six neural spines visible under the spinous dorsal, its insertion is opposite third and fourth vertebrae, the spines stout (broken), the number not to be ascertained; the highest about half depth of head: some broken spines out of place about the head; imprint of a rather broad pectoral obscure. The character and make-up of the bones of the head suggest the genus Aspicottus, but this resemblance may be wholly elusive, and the fish may not belong to the Cottide. The spines on the head if present are all broken. Some moderate, thin scales, apparently cycloid, are scattered about, but they may not belong to this fish. It is named for Dr. Oliver Perry Hay, who has contributed much to our knowledge of fossil fishes. Family GOBIIDE. 49. Aboma antiqua Jordan and Gilbert, new species. (Plate XXIX, fig. 1) Two specimens of a small goby from the diatomaceous shales at Bairdstown, Dr. J. Z. Gilbert. These are two and three inches in length. Two others, about three and a half inches long, were obtained by Dr. Ralph Arnold in the same rock at Shorb, California. The largest of the specimens (No. II) from Bairdstown may be taken as the type of the species. The description is drawn from all. The figure is...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Devonian Fishes of Missouri Mr. Rowley says of the occurrence of these fossils: I have found them in the one-foot dark blue shale under the Louisiana or lithographic limestone, from the top of the shale quite to the bottom, but most abundant from the middle to the top. Just under the Louisiana limestone is a thin band of yellow sandy shale, from a fraction of an inch to two and one-half inches thick, well filled with the same fossils as the limestone above. In places, especially where the yellow shale is thin, the fossils extend downward, sometimes two or three inches, thus invading the fish bone horizon.
