 CALIFORNIA CRETACEOUS MICROFOSSILS 
 
 INCLUDING A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LITERATURE 
 
 By JOSEPH J. GRAHAM 
 
 California Cretaceous strata totaling some 50,000 feet in thickness have been 
 investigated for over a century. Because of industrial requirements, some of these rocks 
 have been studied and restudied. This research, however, has not always been 
 systematic, co-ordinated or integrated. Workers have not yet set up a usable time- 
 stratigraphic classification. Some stratigraphers believe such a classification should be 
 founded on microfossils and synchronized with the ammonite scale, with careful atten- 
 tion to stratigraphic control. That a time-stratigraphic classification of this nature is 
 urgently needed becomes more and more apparent. It is the thought of the writer that 
 for the biostratigrapher to work toward such a goal in California some sort of a 
 synopsis is needed— perhaps one in the form of an annotated bibliography— of what 
 has been published on the composition, stratigraphic occurrence, and ecology of the 
 various micro-faunal and floral assemblages of the Cretaceous System. 
 
 When some of the early papers on Cretaceous stratigraphy of California were 
 printed, the divisions of the system were called Knoxville, Horsetown, and Chico. The 
 last, for example, was practically synonymous with "Upper Cretaceous." In recent years 
 Alvin A. Almgren, Frank M. Anderson, Orville L. Bandy, Georges Deflandre, J. Wyart 
 Durham, Martin F. Glaessner, Ralph W. Imlay, David L. Jones, Klaus Kupper, Alfred R. 
 Loeblich, Jr. and Helen Tappan, Tatsuro Matsumoto, Siemon W. Muller, S. E. Nakkady, 
 Rudolf Noth, Willis P. Popenoe, Hubert G. Schenck, Hans E. Thalmann, and Ernest F. 
 Trujillo, among others, have demonstrated the value of using the European standard 
 of the Cretaceous in California. The reader accordingly will find references to 
 Cenomanian, Turonian, Senonian, Maastrichtian in the following pages; that is to say, 
 to world-wide time-stratigraphic terms as well as to local rock-stratigraphic (formation, 
 member, etc.) units. I might add that a colleague of mine, Professor E. L. Packard, 
 many years ago had the time-stratigraphic concept in mind but did not use some of 
 the technical terms that one finds today in professional reports. The Franciscan (forma- 
 tion? group? series?) is especially troublesome because so many writers call it Jurassic. 
 By typotopology (the science of type localities) the Calera limestone at the base of the 
 Franciscan is on foraminiferal evidence lower Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) in age 
 and other parts of the "series" in the San Francisco Bay area on the basis of ammonites 
 are Cretaceous also. 
 
 It is hoped that this bibliography— covering 180 references— adequately summarizes 
 the vast amount of research that has already been published on the micropaleontology 
 of the Cretaceous System in California and will be of some aid in suggesting problems 
 that will add to our understanding of this portion of the geologic column. Few papers 
 are included that give the synonymies of the various species; other biblographies, such 
 as those by Hans E. Thalmann, cover this field to some extent, and the taxa listed 
 therein should supply the systematist with the necessary information.

CALIFORNIA CRETACEOUS MICROFOSSILS 
 
 In the following review of the many publications on 
 Cretaceous microfossils from California, a tripartite divi- 
 ion is used solely for ease of narration: 
 
 I. 1891-1926: Observation— Recording Period 
 II. 1927-1941: Hanna-Moreno Period 
 III. 1942-1960: Thalmann-Goudkoff/Time-Strati- 
 graphic Period 
 
 'eriod I (1891-1926) 
 
 The initial 36-year period is concerned mainly with 
 he discovery of microfossils— Foraminifera and Radio- 
 aria— in the Cretaceous system of California and the cat- 
 loguing of the occurrence of these protozoans in various 
 ypes of rocks. The earliest record that has come to my 
 ttention is by H. W. Turner, who stated in his discus- 
 ion of the geology of the Mt. Diablo region (1891) that 
 'oraminifera had been observed in beds he was referring 
 o the Chico formation. He gave no generic or specific 
 letermination, nor did he list the stratigraphic position 
 r the locality where these protozoans were found. 
 r hree years later (1894), G. J. Hinde described and 
 lustrated some poorly preserved Radiolaria from cherts 
 »n Angel Island in San Francisco Bay and also from 
 luriburi Ridge in San Mateo County. These appeared 
 o him to be similar to forms from the Jurassic and Cre- 
 aceous of Switzerland, Hungary, and other European 
 ountries. Apparently, they are the first microfossils to 
 >e formally described from California. 
 
 In 1895, Professor A. C. Lawson of the University of 
 California noted that both Foraminifera and Radiolaria 
 ccur in the limestones and cherts of the Franciscan 
 sries in the San Francisco Peninsula and at other locali- 
 tes in the Coast Ranges. Four genera of Foraminifera 
 Orbalina, Globigerina, Texudaria, and Rotalia) were 
 ientified for him by Charles Schuchert of the U.S. Na- 
 ional Museum, who then submitted the fauna to Charles 
 ). Walcott for determination of their geologic age. This 
 itter scientist, an authority on trilobites and Cambrian 
 rratigraphy, stated that the assemblage indicated an age 
 ot earlier than Cretaceous. 
 
 In the next decade (1895-1905), the only references to 
 licrofossils in California that are now considered to be 
 f Cretaceous age are those by Lawson (1903), who 
 ivided the Franciscan of the Middle Coast Ranges "into 
 :ven stratigraphic subdivisions by the recognition of a 
 ersistent horizon of foraminiferal limestone [Calera] 
 id two important horizons [Sausalito and San Miguel] 
 f radiolarian chert", and by F. M. Anderson (1905) 
 'ho observed in "Eocene" shales of the Mt. Diablo 
 ange north of Coalinga seven genera of Foraminifera, 
 lcluding Sagr'ma— which today we refer to as Siphogen- 
 "bwides whitei, a guide to the late Upper Cretaceous, 
 lasmuch as this latter publication is thought to be the 
 
 —A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LITERATURE 
 
 first California report to contain an illustration of a Cre- 
 taceous foraminifer, it, too, is of historical interest. 
 
 From 1905 to the end of the period, the few records 
 dealing with Cretaceous microfossils are concerned 
 mainly with their stratigraphic occurrences or with their 
 ecology. It was during this time that the type Moreno 
 formation on the west side of San Joaquin Valley with 
 its wealth of diatoms, radiolarians, and fish scales was 
 undergoing careful examination by Robert Anderson 
 and R. W. Pack (1915) and by T. D. A. Cockerell 
 (1919). As we shall see, many of these fossils were to be 
 described in later years. 
 
 Period II (1927-1941) 
 
 This 15-year time span— the "Hanna-Moreno" Period 
 —is named in honor of G. Dallas Hanna of the California 
 Academy of Sciences for his detailed studies of the 
 Moreno formation and its associated microfossils. During 
 these years this scientist issued a number of reports on 
 the diatom floras and silicoflagellates of the late Upper 
 Cretaceous Fresno County unit. The unusually well-pre- 
 served diatom assemblages of the Moreno, it has been 
 said, were the first Cretaceous microfloras to be described 
 from the Americas. Following the investigations by 
 Hanna, research on the chrysamonad flagellates and fora- 
 minifers of the formation was undertaken by many other 
 micropaleontologists, among whom were Joseph A. 
 Cushman and Arthur S. Campbell (1934, 1935), Lois T. 
 Martin (1936), and Leopoldo Rampi (1940). 
 
 Cushman and Campbell examined Foraminifera from 
 "Chico" beds near Selby in Contra Costa County and 
 from the subsurface "Moreno" shale near Tracy, supply- 
 ing new information as to their ages and suggesting cor- 
 relations with the uppermost Cretaceous of the Gulf 
 Coastal Plain; Martin compiled a comprehensive check- 
 list of American Cretaceous Foraminifera, of which the 
 53 species from the Moreno formation was one of the 
 many Upper Cretaceous assemblages analyzed; and 
 Rampi reported what is believed to be the first Creta- 
 ceous archaeomonad assemblage from western America. 
 It was also during this period that Cushman and Clifford 
 C. Church (1929) discovered a large Upper Cretaceous 
 "Chico" foraminiferal fauna in a well near Coalinga. This 
 assemblage— one then entirely new to California paleon- 
 tology—was the first of such in the State to receive both 
 detailed description and illustration. 
 
 Period III (1942-1960) 
 
 It is largely due to the contributions of Professor H. E. 
 Thalmann, Stanford University, and the late Dr. Paul 
 Goudkoff of Los Angeles, to the zonal stratigraphy of 
 the Upper Cretaceous of California that Period III is 
 named. In particular, it is a result of thin-section studies 
 by Thalmann (1942-43) of limestones from the Perma-

 nente quarry in Santa Clara County, Marin County, and 
 near Laytonville in Mendocino County, that these rocks, 
 with their associated specimens of the foraminiferal 
 genus Globotrwicana, were assigned for the first time to 
 a European Cretaceous stage. On the basis of the then 
 known range of various species of this planktonic organ- 
 ism, an age not older than Turonian or younger than 
 Santonian (lower Senonian) was ascribed to the above- 
 mentioned strata and their correlative— the Calera lime- 
 stone—at its type locality at Rockaway Beach in San 
 Mateo County. Thus, it was in this manner that the 
 Calera portion of the type Franciscan group, as desig- 
 nated by Lawson, was removed from the Jurassic system 
 where so many had placed it. (Later investigators, in- 
 cluding Thalmann himself, were to assign the Calera to 
 even an earlier stage in the Upper Cretaceous— the Ceno- 
 manian.) 
 
 Then in 1945, after a preliminary study in 1942, Goud- 
 koff issued what has come to be called the "Bible" of the 
 Upper Cretaceous of the Great Valley of California— 
 a monumental work on the stratigraphic position of nu- 
 merous Foraminifera from over 100 surface sections and 
 well cores ranging from Redding in the northern part of 
 the State to the Lost Hills area in the south. He divided 
 the Upper Cretaceous into 6 stages and 10 zones, includ- 
 ing ecological variations of the latter bundles of strata, 
 and correlated them with the well-known Texas Cre- 
 taceous "groups". Just a year prior to his Great Valley 
 studies, Goudkoff (1944), in cooperation with Joseph A. 
 Cushman, recorded and illustrated 28 species and varieties 
 of Upper Cretaceous Foraminifera from various counties 
 in California, listing the stratigraphic position of the 
 fossiliferous samples, in most cases, in reference to the top 
 of the Moreno formation. Some of these species later 
 were utilized as zonal indices to the Upper Cretaceous of 
 the Great Valley. 
 
 During this period also Arthur S. Campbell and the 
 late Bruce L. Clark (1942, 1944) were investigating a 
 rich radiolarian fauna from the Tesla area in Middle Cali- 
 fornia. The 86 species and varieties recorded by them as 
 coming from a cubic inch of limestone near the top of a 
 shale sequence that was stated to be "probably older than 
 Moreno" represent one of the world's richest Cretaceous 
 assemblages. About this time Lore R. David (1942, 1946) 
 was undertaking a microscopic examination of fish scales 
 from the Upper Cretaceous along the western border of 
 San Joaquin Valley; J. A. Long, D. P. Fuge, and James 
 Smith (1946) were studying the diatoms of the Marca 
 shale member of the Moreno formation in the Panoche 
 Hills; and Cushman and Ruth Todd (1948) had com- 
 pleted the first of several examinations of Foraminifera 
 from the New Almaden district in Santa Clara County. 
 
 In rapid succession during the early years of the last 
 decade came a report by Orville L. Bandy (1951) on 
 a well-preserved foraminiferal fauna of Campanian 
 (Taylor) age from the Carlsbad area in San Diego 
 County; a publication by Max B. Payne (1951) on the 
 type Moreno formation in which the diagnostic fora- 
 minifers of this unit, as well as some from the under- 
 
 lying Panoche, were for the first time stratigraphicall 
 allocated; a work by Clifford C. Church (1952) on Fod 
 minifera from the type Calera limestone, in which 
 middle to Upper Cenomanian age was suggested for th 
 member of the Franciscan; a paper by Manley L. Nai 
 land and W. T. Rothwell, Jr. (1954) dealing with 
 foraminiferal assemblage of Campanian, or possibl 
 Maastrichtian age, from the Ventura Basin, the Sant 
 Ana Mountains, and San Diego County areas; and al 
 article by the late Klaus Kupper (1955) who recordefi 
 from the New Almaden area an entirely different namaj 
 assemblage of Foraminifera than that described by Cusbi 
 man and Todd in 1948, inferring for it an early or medil 
 Cenomanian age, not Lower Cretaceous as the latter ail 
 thors had reasoned. All these publications were instn 
 mental in laying a firm foundation for a more secui 
 tie-in between the California Cretaceous and the Euro 
 pean standard section. 
 
 A discussion of the geologic age of the type Cale: 
 limestone again arose in 1956, when Kupper discovert 
 pelagic foraminifers in the "Antelope Shale" of Glen] 
 and Colusa Counties. He noted that the northern Cat 
 fornia assemblages contained certain species in comma i 
 with the Calera which indicated to him an age equivl 
 lency (Upper Cenomanian) for these widely separate 
 units. 
 
 Also in 1956, after a lapse of many years, the Radi< 
 laria of the Franciscan group again came to the attentim 
 of micropaleontologists by the discovery of an asser <■< 
 blage in the Sausalito chert portion of the Franciscan 
 east of Belmont by William R. Riedel and Juli;' 
 Schlocker. This fauna showed similarities, as they pfl 
 it, "with species from the Jurassic and Cretaceous fl 
 other parts of the world", but they were unable to detel 
 mine to which system it should be referred. 
 
 In the two years that followed (1957-58) a numb"! 
 of publications were issued on rich foraminiferal faunjj 
 from the Upper, Middle, and Lower Cretaceous of Cal 
 fornia: Francis P. Shepard, R. R. Lankford, and E. De;. 
 Milow (1957) called attention to an assemblage of II 
 species from the Upper Cretaceous of the La Jolla aiJ 
 San Diego basins— one containing many forms not pnj 
 viously recorded from California; Peter U. Rodda (195I 
 recorded ones of late Albian to Turonian ages in the sh 
 called Middle Cretaceous of northwestern SacramenlJ 
 Valley; and Andrew W. Marianos and Richard I 
 Zingula (1958) (see also Zingula, 1958) discovered sij| 
 nificant planktonic and benthonic faunas of "at least Baj 
 remian to Turonian" age in the Dry Creek area of 11 
 hama County. 
 
 During the preparation of this bibliography, Ernest !J 
 Trujillo (1958, 1960) reported on Upper Cretaceol 
 Foraminifera from near Redding, describing and illuj 
 trating numerous forms of Middle Turonian, Coniacial 
 and Santonian ages; Alvin A. Almgren (1959) concludl 
 that the "world-wide" foraminifer Reussella szaptocim 
 var. calif omica in the Sacramento Valley is restricted I 
 Upper Campanian sediments "no older than the uppl 
 part of Goudkoff 's F-l zone and no younger than baJ

 oseph J. Graham and C. C. Church (1959) noted a 
 irge Campanian foraminiferal fauna from the Stanford 
 Campus in Santa Clara County; and Alfred R. Loeblich, 
 r. and Helen Tappan (1959) suggested a mid- to upper 
 ^enomanian age for the limestone of the New Almaden 
 istrict instead of an upper Albian or an early or medial 
 lenomanian age ascribed to it by previous authors. 
 Early in 1960, Max B. Payne, in cooperation with 
 ,ewis Martin and Professor Tatsuro Matsumoto, pub- 
 shed what many micropaleontologists believe is a highly 
 ignificant contribution to California stratigraphy: a 
 hart showing the "zones" and ranges of 11 important 
 uide foraminifers for the Upper Cretaceous (Coniacian 
 o Maastrichtian) sequence in southwestern Fresno 
 
 County; and later in the same year O. T. Marsh recorded 
 important foraminiferal assemblages from the Cretaceous 
 of the Orchard Peak area in the southern end of the 
 Diablo Range; W. T. Popenoe, R. W. Imlay, and M. A. 
 Murphy added additional information on the zones of 
 Goudkoff; J. J. Graham and D. K. Clark described and 
 illustrated the occurrence of a new species from the 
 Upper Cretaceous Uhalde formation (Panoche Group) 
 and the Dosados member of the Moreno formation of 
 Fresno County; M. A. Furrer suggested that California 
 Cretaceous Siphogenerinoides''' be allocated to other 
 categories, and D. H. Dailey discussed the foraminiferal

 Occurrence of Foraminifera in the Upper Cre-

 Jurassic and Cretaceous age ... in the Tyrol,

 The foraminiferal limestones and radiolarian 
 cherts of the Franciscan series are discussed— with 
 the foraminifers embracing (according to Schu- 
 chert) the genera Orbulina, Globigerina, Textu- 
 laria, and Rotalia. These forms indicate, so Pro- 
 fessor Walcott states, an association not earlier 
 than the Cretaceous. The radiolarian genera 
 (Hinde, 1894) are similar to those in the Creta- 
 ceous and Jurassic rocks of Europe, appearing as 
 sharply discrete casts in a dense siliceous matrix. 
 "The suggestion that they are deep sea deposits 
 is negatived by their interbedding with sand- 
 stones." 
 
 "The Foraminifera are represented by clear 
 hyaline spots ranging in size up to .5 mm, which, 
 in favorable cases, may be observed with the lens 
 to have the form of shells." They are not de- 
 formed by dynamic action, are quite discrete 
 from the matrix, and are more or less sporadically 
 entombed. 
 
 "The general tendency of this paleontological 
 evidence is to place the Franciscan series in the 
 Cretaceous. This would harmonize with the sug-

 gestion thrown out on a former page that the 
 granite upon which the series reposes is of post- 
 Jurassic age. It is the opinion of both Whitney 
 and Becker that the rocks of this series are of 
 Cretaceous age. 
 
 "The writer reserves his opinion on the ques- 
 tion till further evidence has been gathered and 
 is content for the present to point out that the 
 evidence, such as it is, is confirmatory of the 
 opinion of Whitney and Becker. It remains to be 
 said, however, that the series as a whole is very 
 probably older than the Knoxville Aucella hori- 
 zon of California."

 In "the Cahil formation (of the Franciscan

 The radiolarian cherts of the Franciscan group 
 are referred to and a statement is made that 
 "neither the Foraminifera of the Calera limestone 
 nor the Radiolaria of the Sausalito and Ingleside 
 cherts appear to be sufficiently distinctive to de- 
 termine the age of the rocks in which they are 
 found."

 which pelagic forms were not carried to any 
 great extent."

 "Cushman, in 1926, [Foraminifera of the At- 
 lantic Ocean. Family 5, Lagenidae, U. S. Nat. 
 Mus. Bull. 104, pt. 4," p. 173] stated that the genus 
 Siphogenerina seems to be confined to the Ter- 
 tiary because its presence below the Eocene was 
 not well established. In the same year he described 
 Siphogenerina plummeri from the Navarro Clays, 
 upper Cretaceous, near Kemp, Texas [Siphogen- 
 erina plummeri, a Species from the Upper Creta- 
 ceous of Texas: Contr. Cushman Lab. Foram. 
 Research, v. 2, pt. 1, p. 15, pi. 1, figs. 7a-c]. Still 
 later, Cushman stated [1928-Foraminifera, Their 
 Classification and Economic Use: Contr. Cush- 
 man Lab. Foram. Research, Spec. Publ. no. 1, 
 p. 257] that the range of the genus is "Cretaceous 
 (?) Eocene to Recent". In view of the fact that 
 
 numerous representatives of the genus have been 
 obtained from the Moreno shale, upper Creta- 
 ceous, near Mercy Springs, 39 miles northwest of 
 Coalinga, California, it seems reasonable to con- 
 clude that the geologic range of the genus is at 
 least from the Cretaceous to Recent."

 An assemblage of 20 species and varieties from 
 a well on the leasehold of the Amerada Explora- 
 tion Company near Tracy, San Joaquin County, 
 is described and figured. Of these, five species and 
 one variety are new (Marginulina striatocarinata, 
 Flabellina pilulifera, Frondicularia seminiformis, 
 Nodosaria spinifera, Bulimina spinata, and Gau- 
 dryina navarroana Cushman var. crassajorniis). 
 Other forms are: BoUvina cf. dccurrens, B. in- 
 crassata, Bulimina obtusa, Dentalina cf. megalopo- 
 litana, Frondicularia archiaciana, Frondicularia 
 sp. (?), Nodosaria cf. alternata, N. monile, N. 
 velascoensis, Nodosaria sp. (?), Nodosaria sp. 
 (?), Marginulina cf. M. bronni, M. grata, and 
 Vagimdina cf. shnondsi. 
 
 The faunule suggests relationship with the 
 uppermost Cretaceous of the Gulf Coastal Plain, 
 especially with the Velasco shale of Mexico and 
 the Cretaceous of Trinidad. Typical forms of 
 Nodosaria velascoensis Cushman, known from 
 Mexico and Trinidad, were found in the well 
 samples, and the new species Frondicularia sem- 
 inijormis is noted as occurring in the Velasco 
 shale of Mexico. 
 
 Some of the Moreno species "seem to range 
 somewhat lower" in the Cretaceous of the Gulf 
 Coast and appear to be identical to Upper Cre- 
 
 taceous forms from Europe. (Long, Fuge and 
 Smith, 1946, p. 91, state that some workers are 
 of the opinion the well samples are from the 
 Panoche, not Moreno formation).

 by the Temblor formation (mapped as "Puris- 
 ima" of the United States Geological Survey

 foraminifers. The Cretaceous assemblage includes 
 such species as Gyroidina depressa (Alth), Nodo- 
 saria velascoensis Cushman, N. spinifera Cushman 
 and Campbell, Glomospira corona Cushman and 
 Jarvis, Spirillina vivipara Ehrenberg, Haplophrag- 
 moides coronata (Brady), H. excavata Cushman

 "The assemblage is Upper Cretaceous; some of 
 the species are common in the Velasco shale of 
 Mexico, Lizard Springs of Trinidad, and the Mo- 
 reno shale of California. Hence, the beds along 
 San Francisquito Creek are younger than the 
 Turonian Stage and older than the Danian. If 
 Anderson and Hanna * are correct in placing the 
 age of the type Chico as Turonian and older, then

 Thin sections of a Quaternary gravel nodule 
 (containing ichthyosaur snouts redeposited from 
 the ? Upper Jurassic Franciscan group) from 
 "near the mouth of Corral Hollow Creek, 1 mile 
 southeast of "Gravel Pit" (U.S.G.S. Carbona

 Dictyomitra (Nassellaria), possibly D. varians 
 Rust, 1888, a radiolarian. 
 
 Specimens of this latter microfossil are "much 
 crowded together with spheroidal radiolarians 
 (Spumellaria) but only 'ghosts' of these are 
 found, a large number of which are apparently of 
 the discoidal type, but further determination ap- 
 pears impractical".

 Radiolarian fauna from the Upper Cretaceous of 
 the Tesla quadrangle, middle California: Geol. 
 Soc. America, Bull., v. 53, no. 12, pt. 2, p. 1835 
 (Abs.). 
 
 "This paper describes a radiolarian fauna (ap- 
 proximately 100 species) which was obtained 
 from about 1 cubic inch of limestone, given to 
 the writers by Dr. Arthur Huey. The sample 
 came from near the top of a series of shales 
 mapped by Anderson and Pack as Moreno, but 
 these shales are somewhat older than those of 
 the type section of the Moreno. 
 
 "Nine families are represented by 25 genera in 
 this fauna. It may be referred to as a Saturimlis 
 fauna, so called because of the prominence of that 
 genus and of related genera. These are ring- 
 bearing forms which are rare in Tertiary strata. 
 No Tertiary or recent species of Radiolaria have 
 been recognized in this fauna. 
 
 "The presence of a number of very large and 
 generally coarse species of radiolarians; the num- 
 ber of many- jointed and basally fenestrated Nas- 
 sellaria; the lack of delicate apophysate types; and 
 most fortunately the association of related fos- 
 sil species with loricate ciliates (Parafavella = 
 Tintinnus sp. Rust, 1885) similar to the recent 
 Arctic forms which flourish at freezing temper- 
 atures indicate that this Cretaceous fauna lived 
 in cool waters. This is in marked contrast to the 
 tropical condition that existed during the Upper 
 Eocene in middle California, as shown by the 
 radiolarian fauna described recently by Clark and 
 Campbell from beds of that age." (See Campbell 
 and Clark, 1944).

 Globotruncana in the Franciscan limestone, Santa 
 Clara County, California: Geol. Soc. America 
 Bull.,v. 53, no. 12, pt. 2, p. 1838 (Abs.). 
 
 "Thin sections of a limestone collected at the 
 Permanente Quarry in Santa Clara County, Cali- 
 fornia (Palo Alto quadrangle, sees. 17 and 18, T. 7 
 S., R. 2 W.), which is mapped with the Franciscan 
 rocks in the Santa Cruz folio, contain specimens of 
 single-keeled Globotruncana sp. aff. G. appen- 
 ninica Renz and double-keeled Globotruncana lin- 
 neiana (d'Orbigny), besides unidentifiable Globi- 
 gerinae ? Lagenae (of the L. collomi de 
 Lapparent tvpe) and remains of an arenaceous 
 form (? Haplophragmoides). This limestone prob- 
 ably represents the correlative of the Calera lime- 
 stone member of the Franciscan, as mapped in the 
 San Francisco Bay folio (Lawson, 1914). 
 
 "The presence of the genus Globotruncana in the 
 limestone of the Permanente Quarry unquestion- 
 ably places this member of the Franciscan m the 
 Upper Cretaceous. The occurrence of Globo- 
 truncana sp. aff. G. appenninica Renz associated 
 with G. linneiana (d'Orbigny) leads to the con- 
 clusion that the limestone is not older than Turo- 
 nian and not younger than Santonian (Lower 
 Senonian). This age determination, based entirely 
 on smaller Foraminifera, removes this part of the 
 Franciscan from the Jurassic. 
 
 "Foraminiferal assemblages similar to if not 
 identical with the one observed in thin sections of 
 the limestone at the Permanente quarry are known 
 to the writer from Turonian and Lower Senonian 
 rocks in the Swiss Alps, the Isonzo region and 
 Julian Alps, the Balearic Islands (Mallorca), the 
 Pyrenees, and other localities within the area cov- 
 ered by the ancient Tethys sea in Upper Creta- 
 ceous time". (See Irwin, 1957).

 Siphogenerinoides ivhitei Church, which occurs 
 in shale 260 ± feet stratigraphically above the 
 pelecypod Acila (Truncacila) princeps Schenck, 
 n. sp., is stated as being closely related to Sipho- 
 generinoides cretacea Cushman from the lower 
 Colon shale (possibly Campanian) of Venezuela. It 
 is the foraminiferal faunule in this superjacent shale 
 
 that warrants correlation with at least a part of 
 the type of Tierra Loma.

 Upper Cretaceous age of the "Franciscan" lime- 
 stone near Laytonville, Mendocino County, Cali- 
 fornia: Geol. Soc. America, Bull. v. 54, no. 12, 
 p. 1827 (Abs.). 
 
 "Microscopic study of a reddish, slightly sili- 
 ceous limestone, collected by N. L. Taliaferro in 
 1939 from outcrops about 200 yards east of the 
 Redwood Highway, 2 miles north of Laytonville, 
 Mendocino County, California (Stanford Univ. 
 Coll. Sta. M-375), disclosed the presence of a fora- 
 miniferal assemblage consisting of Globotruncana 
 renzi Thalmann, Globigerina cretacea d'Orbigny, 
 small Giimbelina sp., Bolivina sp., Astacolus ? sp., 
 Nodosaria sp., Rotalia ? sp., and other difficultly 
 identifiable forms. The Globotruncana species is 
 abundant in all sections made from this limestone 
 and clearly indicates at least a Turonian age for 
 the so-called "Franciscan" limestone at Layton- 
 ville. 
 
 "The Laytonville limestone, therefore, is to be 
 regarded as a synchronous deposit of the Calera 
 limestones of the quarries of the Permanente Ce- 
 ment Company, Santa Clara County, and of the 
 Calera limestone at its type locality in Calera Val- 
 ley, San Mateo County, California. Identical fora- 
 miniferal assemblages of Turonian age have also 
 been detected in the Calera limestone outcrop- 
 ping between Bolinas and Olima [Olema], Mann 
 County, California, and in the Whitsett limestone 
 at the 'south fork of Deer Creek, and on a branch 
 of Roberts Creek, Douglas County, Roseburg 
 quadrangle, Oregon. All these limestones, hitherto 
 placed in the Franciscan formation and regarded 
 as Upper Jurassic, must now be attributed to the 
 Upper Cretaceous (Turonian stage). This new 
 age assignment of several limestone intercalations 
 in the Franciscan formation is likely to throw a 
 new light on the geological history of the Fran- 
 ciscan-Knoxville geosyncline in California". (See 
 Irwin, 1957).

 in Geol. Soc. America Bull., v. 53, no. 12, nt 2 
 1942, p. 1835. ' 
 
 "This paper describes a radiolarian fauna [86 
 species and varieties] obtained from a small lime- 
 stone sample which came from the top of a series 
 of shales from near Tesla [sec. 31, T. 3 S., R. 4 E 
 U.C.M.P. Loc. A2615, Alameda County] Cali- 
 fornia, and is probably older than Moreno'. 
 
 "The fauna may be referred to as a Saturnalis 
 or Dictyomitra fauna, so-called from the promi- 
 
 nence of these and related genera. No recent or 
 Tertiary species have been recognized in this 
 fauna; all but two species are new. There are 
 three (3) new genera [erroneously reported as 
 two] among the Spumellaria [Spongosaturnalis, 
 Spon gosatuminus, and Heliosestarium] and one 
 of the Nassellaria [Rhopalosyringium]. This is 
 the most extensive Cretaceous radiolarian fauna 
 recorded from North America. 
 
 "The presence of a number of large species of 
 coarse texture, of many-jointed and basally fen- 
 estrated Nassellaria, the lack of delicately apophy- 
 sate types, and the association of generally similar 
 species in the Alpine Jurassic with ciliates (Para- 
 favella spp.) suggest the possibility that this was 
 a cool-water fauna, in sharp contrast with the up- 
 per Eocene tropical faunas of Middle California 
 recently described by us." (Found with the Ra- 
 diolaria was Ly toe eras (Tragonites) aff. epigonas 
 (Kossmat), an ammonite, which F. M. Anderson 
 states is very common in beds locally known as 
 the P achy discus silts = Campanian, Upper Seno- 
 nian). 
 
 Also listed are nine species and one variety of 
 Foraminifera-B?///7?/OTtf obtusa, B. spinata, Epo- 
 nides umbonella, Gaudryina navarroana var., 
 Globigerina cf. triloba, Globotruncana area, Gy- 
 roidina depressa, Nodogenerina lepidula, Nodo- 
 saria monile, and Nodosaria sp. These occur in 
 the upper portion of the Corral Hollow shales 
 now termed Moreno Grande) of the Tesla area, 
 near the same horizon in which the Radiolaria 
 occur. 
 
 Several of the Foraminifera, including Nodo- 
 saria sp. (?) and Nodosaria cf. velascoensis (not 
 listed in above fauna), are silicified. These occur 
 in limestone along with Radiolaria and are cor- 
 related with a similar fauna in cores from wells 
 near Tracy.

 "The paper deals with the Upper Cretaceous 
 beds of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys 
 between the latitude of Redding on the north 
 and the latitude of Lost Hills on the south. On 
 the basis of foraminiferal study of a number [18] 
 of surface sections [and 4 other localities] and 
 of core samples obtained from 128 wells the 
 Upper Cretaceous strata of the Great Valley have 
 been divided into twelve zones [indicated by 
 capital letters], four of which are assumed to be 
 represented each by two different ecological 
 facies. The zones are grouped into seven stages 
 [the two uppermost ones— Upper and Lower 
 Cheneyan of pre-Martinez Paleocene age]. Fora- 
 miniferal and lithologic characteristics of the 
 zones, their areal distribution, and stratigraphic 
 relations are discussed and illustrated by cross sec- 
 tions and a diagrammatic map. Another map 
 shows contours of the Cretaceous surface. Eight 
 small-scale maps elucidate paleogeography of the 
 zones and their ecological variations." (Abstract). 
 A total of sixty-seven species and varieties of 
 Foraminifera are listed from 10 of the 12 zones 
 and their ecological variants (the microfaunas of 
 zones A-l, Upper Cheneyan stage, and H, Dele- 
 vanian stage are not given), and of these, zone 
 A-2 (Lower Cheneyan stage of Pre-Martinez

 fied (Arenobulimina sp., Bolivina sp., Bulimina

 As no foraminiferal species of zonal significance 
 in the Upper Cretaceous of California were found 
 by the authors, they conclude that it is best to 
 refer this material to the Lower Cretaceous. 
 (Glaessner, 1949, postulated a late Lower Creta-

 In discussing the close of Chico time, the writer 
 states: "The altitude of adjacent land areas seems 
 to have been lower so that coarse sandy and 
 gravelly materials were replaced by clay shale 
 and organic shale. Foraminifera, diatoms, and 
 Radiolaria thrived in these waters or were carried 
 in from the ocean." 
 
 The Foraminifera in the limestones and Radio- 
 laria in the cherts of the Franciscan, according to 
 the author, establish no definite geologic age for 
 this group of rocks.

 Fifty-six species and varieties of Foraminifera

 anian age in the northwestern part of San Diego 
 County (U. S. C. Loc. 116, on the Irwin J. Kelley 
 Ranch, about 5 miles south of Carlsbad), and of 
 these fourteen are new— Gaudryina arguta, Ber- 
 mudezina extans, Robidus modesties, Saracenaria 
 subglobosa, Margimdina similis Orbigny var. obli- 
 quinodus, Lageva acicticosta Reuss var. brevi- 
 postica, L. acicticosta Reuss var. proboscidialis,

 (Hagenow) var. orbicella, Cibicidina califomica, 
 Planulina mascula, P. multipimctata, Colomia 
 califomica, and C. califomica var. mundula. The 
 fauna correlates with that of the Tracian stage 
 (Anomalina henbesti, Zone E of Goudkoff) from 
 the Great Valley of California and with the 
 uppermost Taylor beds of the Gulf Coast. The 
 Campanian age is based on the presence of Globo- 
 truncava area (Cushman), the absence of typical 
 Maastrichtian foraminiferal species and the fact 
 that the Taylor beds are generally correlative 
 with the Campanian of Europe. The Carlsbad 
 fauna is listed as representing a middle (?) neritic 
 zone.

 Foraminiferal evidence as to the age of the Pa- 
 cific Coast CoralUochama beds: Geol. Soc. Amer-

 "Inl885 White described a Middle Cretaceous 
 rudistid CoralUochama from beds near Gualala, 
 California, and from Todos Santos Day, Baja 
 California. Subsequently this peculiar form was 
 correlated with the Turonian (Anderson and 
 Hanna, 1935) and with the Maestrichtian (Dur- 
 ham and Kirk, 1950). This last correlation was 
 based upon the association of the ammonites 
 Nostoceras and Parapachy discus catarinae Ander- 
 son and Hanna with the CoralUochama beds. 
 
 "Recent work on the Upper Cretaceous Forami- 
 nifera of California has revealed an occurrence of 
 CoralUochama in the Carlsbad area of California. 
 The Foraminifera of these beds have been cor- 
 related with the Upper Taylor faunas of the 
 Gulf Coast and with the Upper Senonian (Mid- 
 dle Campanian) faunas of Europe. A Coral- 
 Uochama occurrence at Point Loma, San Diego 
 County, is also associated with abundant and 
 diagnostic Foraminifera, which here correlate 
 with the Taylor beds of the Gulf Coast and 
 with the Lower Campanian of Europe. 
 
 "The contradictory evidence as to the age of 
 the CoralUochama beds cannot be explained by 
 redeposition of the rudistid fauna inasmuch as it 
 would then signify that such fauna was originally 
 from the Lower Senonian or older strata, thereby 
 conflicting even more with the ammonite evi- 
 dence. The Foraminifera in each case range 
 throughout the shale beds and are well preserved 
 with no indication of redeposition. Hence, it 
 
 would seem that the most logical solution is that 
 the range of F ar a p achy discus catarinae, the nosto- 
 cerid ammonites, and the CoralUochama fauna is 
 of Campanian age."

 Cretaceous Foraminifera from the Franciscan

 Specimens from the type locality of the Calera 
 limestone (Rockaway Beach, San Mateo County) 
 collected by Church and C. E. Sturz and sent to 
 Hans Bolli of Trinidad are tentatively assigned 
 a Middle to Upper Cenomanian age. Bolli stated, 
 however, that to ascertain the age on a Globo- 
 trimcana basis "more and better preserved speci- 
 mens should be available." (Nevertheless, he based 
 his age determination on Reichel's and Sigal's 
 European studies of Globotruncana and related 
 forms.) 
 
 In addition to Globotruncana (Rotalipora) 
 apenninica Renz var. typica Gandolfi (Middle to 
 Upper Cenomanian) and Globotruncana (Globo- 
 truncana) stephani Gandolfi var. turbinata Reichel 
 (Middle to Upper Cenomanian) there are at least 
 10 other genera and species (including Pseudo- 
 clavtdina sp., Pleurostomella sp., Anomalina sp., 
 Dentalina sp., Globigerina sp., Cibicides sp., 
 Gyroidina sp. cf. G. depressa, and Schackoina 
 cenomana), of which the latter was described 
 from the Cenomanian of Germany (See Kupper, 
 1956, for nomenclatural changes). "The fauna as 
 a whole has a decidedly basal Upper Cretaceous 
 aspect. Additional information afforded by this 
 unusual fauna tends to support the conclusion 
 that the Calera limestone is somewhere close to 
 the Middle Cretaceous or basal Upper Cretaceous 
 in age. 
 
 "It now seems to be the general conclusion of 
 most workers in California that Franciscan type 
 rocks cover a wide range in age from Upper 
 Jurassic to Middle or even basal Upper Creta- 
 ceous. Further detailed work will be necessary to 
 narrow the age limit of the various members of the 
 Franciscan formation." (Kupper, 1956, assigned 
 an Upper Cenomanian age to the Calera, and 
 Thalmann in Irwin, 1957, gives a Cenomanian 
 age for the Calera).

 In referring to fairly deep-water deposition of 
 Upper Cretaceous sediments of the Diablo Range, 
 as suggested by slump structures, the writer 
 states: "Goudkoff (1945, pp. 1003, 1006) found 
 that the lower beds of the Upper Cretaceous 
 along the eastern border of the Diablo Range 
 north of Coalinga contain a 'fairly deep and cool' 
 water foraminifera fauna (included in Goudkoff's 
 Delevanian, Cachenian, and Weldonian stages, ap- 
 proximately equivalent to the lower 25,000 feet 
 of strata in the Ortigalita section). However, 
 since the major part of this sequence— possibly the 
 lowermost 15,000 feet— contains 'only a meager 
 fauna of poorly preserved and indeterminate 
 species of arenaceous foraminifera, here and there 
 associated with limonitized radiolarian tests' 
 (Goudkoff, 1945, p. 944), paleontological evi- 
 dence for this part of the section must be con- 
 sidered extremely tenuous."

 (Note C) : "Rock unit names have not been given 
 to the Upper Cretaceous E, F, and G shales and 
 sands in the subsurface of this area, and none are

 Forbes shale is sometimes applied to F-l Zone

 this committee does not recommend such usage 
 in this area where relationship with the type lo-

 crofauna. This is usually GoudkofFs E' assem-

 "A study of the distribution of Renssella sza- 
 jnochae var. calif ornica in the Sacramento Valley, 
 California, reveals that this species is not restricted 
 to the G-l zone of Paul P. Goudkoff [1945] as 
 was indicated in his paper on the 'Stratigraphical 
 Relations of the Upper Cretaceous in the Great 
 Valley, California.' To the writer's knowledge 
 this species does not occur in the G-l zone at all. 
 It seems to be restricted to sediments no older 
 than the upper part of Goudkoff 's F-l zone and 
 no younger than basal E zone. 
 
 "Many of the Foraminifera associated with this 
 species are characteristic of the basal F-2 and G-l 
 zones of Goudkoff. These are considered to be 
 'recurrent,' due to ecologic conditions similar to 
 those which prevailed during the deposition of 
 the sediments of basal F-2 and G-l zones. A few 
 of the associated species seem to be restricted in 
 occurrence to the interval in which Reussella 
 sazjnochae var. calif ornica is present, clearly dis- 
 tinguishing this interval from the basal F-2 and 
 G-l zones below. Based on the range of Reussella 
 szajnochae of phylogenetic development similar to 
 R. szajnochae var. calif ornica and on certain other 
 associated foraminifera of world-wide signifi- 
 cance, Reussella szajnochae var. californica ap- 
 pears to be restricted to rocks of Campanian age 
 (probably upper) in the Sacramento Valley, Cali-

 of Campanian age. This faunule is correlative- 
 among others in California— with several from th<

 "The 120 species, some not previously reportec

 "The earliest Tertiary in California is repre- 
 sented by the "Cheneyan" stage of Goudkoff 
 [see his 1945 reference! instead of the Ynezian 
 stage of Mallory. The Cheneyan is represented on 
 the surface by Max B. Payne's Dos Palos mem- 
 ber of the Moreno formation. Recent continuous 
 coring of the type Dos Palos and upper Marca 
 members of the Adoreno formation has produced 
 detailed stratigraphic and paleontologic data de- 
 finitively correlating the subsurface and surface 
 sections, resulting in relocation of the Cretaceous- 
 Tertiary boundary. Foraminiferal faunas from the 
 subsurface Cheneyan and surface Dos Palos mem- 
 ber of the Moreno formation are those of the 
 compressa-daubjergensis planktonic foraminiferal 
 zone. It thus may be correlated with the entire

 "Twenty-five species of planktonic Foraminif- 
 era are described and illustrated from outcrop- 
 ping strata of Cenomanian age in California, 
 Kansas, and Texas, subsurface formations of the 
 eastern and western Gulf area, a submarine core 
 from the Blake Plateau and outcrops in Germany 
 and Switzerland. Relative ages of these sequences 
 and those of Trinidad, Cuba, and North Africa 
 are also discussed. 
 
 "Two species are described as new, others are 
 reallocated genetically and synonymy is shown 
 for certain previously described nominal species. 
 A few of the species are restricted to the Tethyan 
 geographical province, but many have world- 
 wide occurrence in the Cenomanian. 
 
 "The evidence of the planktonic Foraminifera 
 suggests that both the Britton and Arcadia Park 
 members of the Eagle Ford shale of north Texas 
 are Cenomanian rather than Turonian in age. The 
 
 subsurface lower Atkinson formation of Florida, 
 Alabama and Georgia is believed to be wholly 
 equivalent to the Eagle Ford, rather than to the 
 Woodbine, and is also equivalent to the Hartland 
 member of the Greenhorn limestone of Kansas. 
 The 'Franciscan' series of the New Almaden dis- 
 trict of California is regarded as of mid to upper 
 Cenomanian age, rather than upper Albian or 
 lower Cenomanian as previously considered. The 
 submarine core of the Blake Plateau contains both 
 lower and middle Cenomanian species in its 175 
 cm. and is thus the oldest known material found 
 in a submarine core."

 of alternating sandstones and silty shales that have

 fauna cannot be broken down into stratigraphic 
 faunules but may be subdivided into two ecologic

 with the lower Navarro of the Gulf Coast.

 (L.S.J.U. Locality no. M-625). The species is 
 significant in that it extends the geographic range 
 of the genus from isolated occurences in Mor- 
 rocco, the Sinai Peninsula, the Kyzyl region in 
 the U.S.S.R., and northern Alaska to California. 
 Moreover, it is found in strata that may be of the

 states: "The above samples contain only arenac

 from the Austin chalk through the upper part 
 the Taylor marl in the Gulf Coastal region, 
 relation to Goudkoff's (1945, pp. 956-1008) staj

 range from the Upper Cachenian (G-l zor

 Panoche formation and possibly equivalent to 1 
 Joaquin Ridge sandstone or the Alcalde shale. T 
 faunas . . . are not definitely definitive of i 
 and therefore the age assignments . . . shoi 
 not be considered conclusive."

 lina sp., and Robidus sp. Dr. Steward Edgell, who 
 made the above identifications gives the follow- 
 ing analysis of the assemblage: u Frondicidaria 
 cordata = upper Austin and Taylor; F. inversa = 
 from upper Austin to Navarro; Bulimina aspera 
 = mostly upper Taylor. On this rather inadequate 
 basis a correlation is suggested with the Taylor of 
 the Gulf Coast which is known to be equivalent 
 to the Lower Maestrichtian and Campanian of 
 Europe." 
 
 Concretions in the Red Man sandstone north- 
 east of Antelope Pumping Station also contained 
 Foraminifera, including Dentalina sp., and Planu- 
 laria sp. 
 
 The highest Upper Cretaceous beds in the re- 
 gion—the Moreno formation— yielded an assem- 
 blage of arenaceous species (Bathysiphon sp., 
 Cribrostomoides cretacea (?), Dorothia sp., Hap- 
 lophragmoides sp., and Silicosigmoilina calif ornica, 
 which J. D. Bainton of the Standard Oil Co. of 
 California interprets: "Based on the fauna and 
 the lithology it is thought that this sample repre- 
 sents the Moreno shale. It is suggested that this 
 sample is no younger than Upper Ciervian and no 
 older than Upper Ingramian (Goudkoff 's stages)."

 The D to H zones of Goudkoff (1945) are 
 represented in various subsurface sections of the 
 Upper Cretaceous (the "Dobbins Shale", also 
 known as the "G-shale", contains radiolarian 
 floods and foraminiferal faunas equivalent in age 
 to Goudkoff's G-l zone, the "Sacramento Shale" 
 often contains radiolarian floods and has forami- 
 niferal faunas equivalent in age to the E and F'-l 
 zones, the "Winters Sands and Shales" range in 
 age from D-2 to E, and the "Starkey Sands" are 
 typically equivalent to Goudkoff's D-l zone, with 
 a fauna of D-2 age occasionally being noted in 
 the lower portion and a C zone fauna being en-

 "The foraminiferal zones established by Gou 
 koff (1945) for the Cretaceous beds in Calif orn 
 largely on the basis of subsurface data, were cc 
 related by him with various formations on t 
 west side of the San Joaquin Valley and along t 
 margin of the Sacramento Valley. His H zone 
 correlated with formations that have furnish 
 Cenomanian or early Turonian ammonites or tl 
 are assigned to those stages because they under, 
 beds of middle to late Turonian age. For examp 
 the H zone probably includes the "lower W: 
 tham" shale of Waltham Canyon from which t 
 Cenomanian ammonite Forbesiceras has been o 
 tained (LSJUColl.). 
 
 "His G-2 zone is correlated with beds that co 
 tain ammonites of middle to late Turonian 
 such as Members II, III, and the lower part 
 Member IV in the Redding district, and the Sit 
 formation and most of the Yolo formation on t 
 west side of the Sacramento Valley. The comm< 
 ammonites in these beds are Subprionocych 
 Collignoniceras, Romaniceras, and Otoscaphit 
 The top of the G-2 zone coincides with the C 
 of the Glycymeris pacificus zone of Popen 
 (1952, p. 181). 
 
 "Goudkoff's G-l zone was correlated on t 
 basis of microfossils with the upper part of Mei 
 ber IV and all of Member V in the Redding ar 
 and with the Funks formation on the west side 
 of the Sacramento Valley. Member IV in t 
 Redding area has furnished the Coniacian ammo 
 ites Peroniceras and Prionocy cloceras. Memb 
 IV and V both contain Baculites schencki Mats 
 moto (1959a, p. 113-118), which occurs eh 
 where in the basal 700 feet of the Cretaceous se 
 tion on Chico Creek and in the Funks formatic

 and at least part of the Santonian stages.

 as indicated by microfossils, include beds contain- 
 ing Submortoniceras and Turritella chicoensis 
 Gabb and some underlying beds containing Bacu- 
 lites capensis Woods (identified by Matsumoto). 
 This baculite in Europe occurs in the upper Con- 
 iacian and the Santonian. (See Annotation 45.) 
 Goudkoff (1945, p. 991, figs. 62, 72) shows that 
 the F-2 zone in the subsurface pinches out rap- 
 idly eastward and becomes sandier westward. 
 
 "The presence of Submortoniceras in the Turri- 
 tella chicoensis zone on Chico Creek shows that 
 the top of that zone is not younger than Cam- 
 panian and probably not younger than middle 
 Campanian. A Campanian age is confirmed by the 
 presence of Canadoceras cf. C. multisulcatus 
 (Whiteaves) in the Santa Ana Mountains about 
 200 feet below the top of the Ladd formation 
 (CIT loc. 1053) in the upper part of the Turri- 
 tella chicoensis zone (Popenoe, 1942, p. 177-179). 
 
 "Goudkoff's F-l zone was identified by him in 
 the Forbes formation along the west side of the 
 Sacramento Valley and in the "Joaquin Ridge" 
 sandstone member of the Panoche formation along 
 the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. It has 
 since been identified in many places in California 
 in beds characterized by Metaplacenticeras. This 
 ammonite in California and Japan occurs near the 
 top of a thick sequence of Campanian age. 
 
 "Goudkoff's E zone according to him does not 
 outcrop in the Sacramento Valley but is present 
 in the subsurface. He identifies it on the outcrop 
 in the San Joaquin Valley in the lower part of 
 the Ragged Valley shale member of the Panoche 
 formation. His next higher D-2 zone is identified 
 in the upper part of the Ragged Valley shale 
 member which has furnished an ammonite faun- 
 ule consisting of Pachydiscus octadensis (Sto- 
 liczka), P. catarinae (Anderson and Hanna), and 
 Baculites rex Anderson. This faunule is consid- 
 ered to be of early Maestrichtian age for reasons 
 discussed under the heading Correlations with 
 European Stages. 
 
 "Goudkoff's D-l, C, and B zones may likewise 
 be correlated with the Aaaestrichtian because they 
 overlie the E [D-2, see their Correlation chart] 
 zone of early Maestrichtian age and because their 
 outcrop equivalents contain Cretaceous ammon- 
 ites. If the A-2 zone is equivalent to the Garzas 
 sand as Goudkoff (1945, p. 979) indicates, it may 
 also be assigned to the Cretaceous because of the 
 presence of the mosasaur described by Camp 
 (1942)."

 "Three Late Cretaceous shale units cropping 
 out in the northern Great Valley have been 
 sampled for foraminiferal content. Approxi- 
 mately 2500 feet of section is represented in as- 
 sociation with 1500 feet of sandstone. Ninety spe- 
 cies of Foraminifera— twenty-two of which are 
 new— are illustrated, described and their strati- 
 graphic ranges determined. One new name is pro- 
 posed. Two distinctive faunas are recognizable, 
 the division coinciding approximately with the 
 Turonian-Senonian boundary. Arenaceous species 
 constitute the greater number of individuals; 
 while for stratigraphic purposes the Orbulinidae 
 —especially the genus Globotruncana—are domi- 
 nant in the Turonian and they, with the Ro- 
 taliidae, are of greatest importance in the Seno- 
 nian. Most of the species have been previously 
 reported from the European and Gulf Coastal 
 regions. An interpretation of the paleocology in- 
 dicates a sublittoral zone as the site of deposition 
 for associated sediments. On the basis of fora- 
 minifers and diagnostic megafossils, the ages of 
 the units are determined as Middle Turonian, 
 Coniacian, and Santonian" (Abs.). 
 
 The new species are Cribrostomoides calif or- 
 niensis, Lenticulina calif orniensis, Lingulina cali- 
 forniensis, L. lucillea, Saracenaria coivcreekensis, 
 V aginulinopsis reddingensis, Frondicularia dur-

 marckina reedana, Praeglobotruncana hansbolli, 
 Rugoglobigerina kingi, R. praechelvetica, Pleuro- 
 stomella greatvalleyensis, and Nodosarella ivin- 
 tereri, and the new name is Astacolus polandensis, 
 for Cristellaria simplex Dunikowski, 1879 which 
 is a junior homonym of C. simplex d'Orbigny, 
 1846. 
 
 The percentage abundance and stratigraphic 
 range of each of the 90 species are given in 
 Table 1 and the "relationship of the various 
 groups of foraminifers by cumulative percentage 
 graphs and also the total number of specimens 
 and species from each 500 gram sample" are indi- 
 cated in Table 2. Text fig. 3 shows the character- 
 istic assemblages of Foraminifera and selected 
 diagnostic megafossils in the stratigraphic column. 
 Here 8 foraminiferal species characterize litho- 
 logic unit Member VI (of Santonian age), 7 the 
 Member IV unit (Coniacian), and 10 the Mem- 
 ber II unit (Turonian). 
 
 "There is a distinct difference in the faunal 
 aspects of the Turonian and Senonian stages, re- 
 flecting the sharp stratigraphic and faunal break 
 upon which the divisions in Europe were based 
 and which is also present in California. Because 
 of this feature, the European stage names have

 been applied rather than the less well known Cali- 
 fornia stage names of Goudkoff (1945)." This 
 latter micropaleontologist (1945, table I and text- 
 fig. 2) "considered Member I to be within the 
 Delevanian stage, equivalent to the Gulf Coast 
 Woodbine Group (Cenomanian), and Members 
 II- VI within the Cachenian stage, equivalent to 
 the Eagle Ford Group (Turonian). This corre- 
 lation with the Gulf Coast Upper Cretaceous may 
 not have been intended, however, for the Austin 
 Group (Coniacian-Santonian) is not listed in the 
 table and is the true equivalent of Members IV- 
 
 VI. Members I-III correspond to a threefold di\ 
 sion of the Turonian."
