Book Description
Excerpt from Frasnian (Upper Devonian) Rugose Corals From the Lime Creek and Shell Rock Formations of Iowa Calvin Levorson, then postmaster of Riceville, Iowa, accompanied me in the field in the late 1960's and early 1970's, and shared with me his encyclopedic knowledge of outcrops and collecting localities, in cluding those of Charles Belauski. Donald L. Koch, then geologist (now Director) of the Iowa Geological Survey, shared his knowledge of the Shell Rock For mation, and Harrell Strimple (deceased) of the Uni versity of Iowa aided me in borrowing collections and providing me with locality information regarding the Frasnian faunas of north-central Iowa. Professors Wil liam Furnish, Brian Glenister and Gilbert Klapper of the University of Iowa all gave freely of their Wisdom and good will. Ms. Julia Golden of the University of Iowa has kindly arranged for loans of specimens from the Belauski Collection. Professor Donald B. Macurda, Jr., then of the University of Michigan, arranged for my borrowing specimens from the Fenton collections at the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontol ogy. Dr. Matthew H. Nitecki and Ms. Phyllis N. Win dle aided by arranging for loans of Fenton types from the Field Museum of Natural History. Dr. Bruce Bell made it possible for me to borrow Hall and Whitfield specimens from the New York State Museum of Nat ural History. Mr. Frederick J. Collier and Mrs. Jann Thompson have been similarly gracious in arranging for loans of Webster types and other specimens at the United States National Museum Of Natural History (smithsonian Institution). At Binghamton University, thin sections Of corals have been made with skill by Mr. Frank Sedlak and Mr. Richard Jacyna. Photogra phy has been by Mr. David Tuttle. Ms. Anne D. Hull has prepared all maps and charts for this publication. Dr. Carl W. Stock spent one field season with me in Iowa while he was working on stromatoporoid faunas Of the Upper Devonian of Iowa. Professional expertise and criticism of this manuscript have been provided by Dr. William A. Oliver, Jr. Of the United States Geo logical Survey, and by Dr. Ross A. Mclean of Amoco Canada Petroleum Co. Ltd. Biostratigraphy has been reviewed by Professor Gilbert Klapper of the Univer sity of Iowa.

Species and Speciation in the Fossil Record

Book Description
The literature of paleobiology is brimming with qualifiers and cautions about using species in the fossil record, or equating such species with those recognized among living organisms. Species and Speciation in the Fossil Record digs through this literature and surveys the recent research on species in paleobiology. In these pages, experts in the field examine what they think species are - in their particular taxon of specialty or more generally in the fossil record. They also reflect on what the answers mean for thinking about species in macroevolution. The first step in this approach is an overview of the Modern Synthesis, and paleobiology’s development of quantitative ways of documenting and analyzing variation with fossil assemblages. Following that, this volume’s central chapters explore the challenges of recognizing and defining species from fossil specimens, and show how with careful interpretation and a clear species concept, fossil species may be sufficiently robust for meaningful paleobiological analyses. Tempo and mode of speciation over time are also explored, exhibiting how the concept of species, if more refined, can reveal enormous amounts about the interplay between species origins and extinction and local and global climate change.
