Significant unconformities and the hiatuses represented by them in the Paleogene of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Province Significant unconformities and the hiatuses represented by them in the Paleogene of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Province
A biostratigraphic, chronostratigraphic, and magnetostratigraphic model has been calibrated to produce a new time scale for the Paleogene. The model gives the biostratigraphic position and duration represented by significant unconformities in three areas of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Province: 1) western and central Alabama; 2) South Carolina; and 3) central Virginia to southwestern...

Insights on why graphic correlation (Shaw's method) works Insights on why graphic correlation (Shaw's method) works
In 1964 A. B. Shaw presented a method of correlating fossiliferous sedimentary rocks based on interpretation of graphic plots of first- and last-occurrences of taxa. Because there is no way to determine the true total ranges of fossil taxa, it is instructive to test the accuracy of the method using hypothetical datasets. The dataset used here consists of 16 taxa in six sections with...

Reworked Hantkenina speciments at Little Stave Creek, Alabama Reworked Hantkenina speciments at Little Stave Creek, Alabama
The Eocene-Oligocene boundary in Mississippi and Alabama has been traditionally placed between the Shubuta Member of the Yazoo Formation and the overlying Red Bluff Formation (or its carbonate facies equivalent, the Bumpnose Formation). Consequently, the presence of Eocene planktonic foraminifers in the Red Bluff and Bumpnose has long been attributed to reworking. To test the validity of...

Bathyal ostracodes from the Florida-Hatteras slope, the Straits of Florida, and the Blake Plateau Bathyal ostracodes from the Florida-Hatteras slope, the Straits of Florida, and the Blake Plateau
Epibathyal ostracodes from the Florida-Hatteras slope, the Blake Plateau and the Straits of Florida were studied to determine the relationship of numerous genera and species to bottom-water environmental conditions such as dissolved oxygen and bottom-water temperatures. From a total of 100 samples, 44 samples evenly distributed between 200 and 1100 m water depth and having an average of...
