Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paleontology of the Coalinga District: Fresno and Kings Counties, California General statement. - The material on which this paper is based was collected during two separate investigations in the Coalinga district and adjacent regions. The first was made in the summer of 1905, under the direction of William H. Dali, of the United States Geological Survey, in connection with a pal ntologic reconnaissance of the southern Coast Ranges. During this trip, on which the writer was assisted by H. R. Johnson and Frank Stokes, jr., nearly a month was spent in the region from Coalinga southward to the vicinity of Dudley. The second examination of the district was carried on during the whole of the summer of 1907, at which time a detailed geologic map of the district was made. This map was primarily prepared to accompany a report on the oil resources of the district, but incidentally the detailed mapping threw much light on various stratigraphic and paleontologic problems, several of which are discussed in this paper. Acknowledgments. - Mr. Robert Anderson collaborated in the work carried on in 1907 and in the preparation of the geologic reports relative to the district, and Mr. Earl Stonebarger assisted in some of the pal ntologic field work in 1907. The writer wishes also to return thanks to Mrs. Hugo Kreyenhagen, Mr. James H. Pierce, Prof. Orlando D. Barton, Judge W. H. Kerr, Mr. K. W. Jones, and many others in the district for kindly assistance and interest in the pal ntologic work. He is especially indebted to Mr. Homer Hamlin and Mr. Frank M. Anderson for notes relating to many fossiliferous localities, not only in this district but elsewhere in the southern Coast Ranges, which have expedited the collection of much of the material on which this and other papers have been based; and to Mr. S. G. Mason, of the United States Geological Survey, for assistance in the preparation of the tables of fossils and fossiliferous localities contained in this bulletin.
