Book Description
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.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. 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...
