Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last comprehensive review of the fossil vertebrates from the Miocene of Calvert Cliffs was published more than 100 years ago. This volume is a collection of papers that updates some of the geological features of Calvert Cliffs and provides reviews of the fossil biota that includes representatives from the following taxonomic groups: chondrichthyans (chimaeras, shark, skates, and rays), actinopterygians (ray-finned fishes), crocodilians (crocodiles), pinnipeds (seals), and sirenians (sea cows). Peter Vogt, Ralph R. Eshelman, and Stephen J. Godfrey document how the 20-40 m (65-130 feet) high Calvert Cliffs along the Western Shore of Chesapeake Bay continue to yield insights into 18-8 Ma (middle Miocene) geology, marine and terrestrial vertebrate fauna, and origin and evolution of Chesapeake Bay and Calvert Cliffs up to the present. These exposures rank high among the best-known fossiliferous deposits of any age. Bretton W. Kent describes the cartilaginous fish (the chondrichthyan) fauna consisting of 53 species; three chimaeras (ratfishes), 38 sharks, and 12 skates and rays; a fauna rich in large macrophagous sharks and large neritic rays. Giorgio Carnevale and Stephen J. Godfrey present an account of the 38 actinopterygian taxa known from osteological remains and a diverse otolith assemblage of at least 55 taxa. These actinopterygians show an affinity for well-oxygenated muddy and sandy substrates dominated by shallow water species characteristic of the inner shelf, and secondarily by epipelagic taxa. Robert E. Weems details the crocodilians referable to the tomistomine Thecachampsa. The closest living relative is Tomistoma schlegelii, the false-gharial of Southeast Asia. Two species are present: Thecachampsa sericodon and T. antiquus--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known for its beauty and bounty, the Chesapeake Bay stretches nearly 200 miles from the mouth of the Susquehanna River to the ocean capes of the Atlantic, its tidal waters enriching the vibrant coastal communities of both Maryland and Virginia. Chesapeake Bay Explorer’s Guide is the perfect reference for visitors who want to know more about the things they see in their visit to the famous estuary, whether they are relaxing on a beach, paddling through a saltmarsh, or watching workboats duck beneath a drawbridge. Explore more than 14,415 miles of shoreline, myriad hiking trails, and scores of wildlife preserves nestled between resort towns and other attractions. This guide provides a concise history of how the Bay was formed, and brief entries with full-color images and easy-to-read descriptions of the flora, fauna, and man-made artifacts found in and around the Bay.
Book Synopsis Exploring the Calvert Cliffs by : Joshua B. Zimmt
Download or read book Exploring the Calvert Cliffs written by Joshua B. Zimmt and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Calvert Cliffs (Maryland, USA) is a classic condensed Miocene sequence that has attracted much scientific attention for its laterally extensive and highly condensed fossil beds (Kidwell, 1982a). Several meters thick and up to 70% shell material, the period of formation of these major complex shell beds has been debated for decades. Kidwell (1989) and associated studies have demonstrated that the major complex shell beds possess certain characteristics that suggest the beds formed as a succession of condensed parasequences during a transgressive systems tract. However, no quantitative analysis has calculated the period of formation of the major complex shell beds in order to assess this interpretation. Using strontium isotope stratigraphy, the period of formation of the Camp Roosevelt shell bed was demonstrated to be on the order of ~600 kyr. This same period of formation, on the order of 105 years, was consistent across all three localities studied. These findings provide the first geochemical evidence to support the hypothesis that the major complex shell beds formed as a series of condensed parasequences. Combining existing data from Kidwell (1982a) with more recent fieldwork allowed for a comparison of ecology among three of the four major complex shell beds. Characterizing the ecology of the major complex shell beds revealed a striking difference between the community composition of the shell beds from the Calvert Formation and those of the Choptank Formation, with higher levels of diversity seen in the Late Miocene when compared to the Early Miocene. However, future work must focus on more intensive sampling of the biostratigraphic intervals within the shell beds to determine the probable biological or geological cause of this long-term increase in diversity seen during the Miocene.

Download or read book Molluscan Paleontology of the Chesapeake Miocene written by Edward J. Petuch and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2009-08-20 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chesapeake Miocene will always be considered a paleontological treasure. Given the richness and accessibility of the Maryland and Virginia Miocene shell beds, it seems remarkable that very few people have ever described new species from these strata over the past 185 years. Until now. Integrating elements from paleontology, geology, environmental science, and ecology, Molluscan Paleontology of the Chesapeake Miocene assembles previous research and the authors’ experience into a synoptic field guide. The most complete compendium of Miocene species created since 1904, this long-awaited resource lists nearly 500 species. It contains illustrations of 260 species, including more than 60 not found in any previous book and 26 newly discovered. It describes Chesapeake molluscan faunas in terms of local geology, paleoceanography, and marine paleobiology. Organized by stratigraphic geology, the book covers fossils of the Eastover, St Mary’s, Choptank, and Calvert Formations. It illustrates 24 collecting sites and fossil exposures, showing details of in situ specimens, along with maps of 4 Miocene paleoseas and detailed stratigraphic columns for Maryland and northern Virginia. The text is accompanied by downloadable resources with color illustrations of the forty known species of ecphora shells. Armed with these, you should be able to identify the species found in the amazingly rich shell beds of the Chesapeake Bay area.
