Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is devoted to the recording & description of the molluscan fossils contained in the Fargo & Locklin collection from N. St. Petersburg, FL, & now in the collections of the Acad. of Natural Sciences of Phila. This locality holds a special interest in the geology of Florida since it represents the most northwesterly known exposures of the widespread Caloosahatchee formation of southern Florida, made famous through the monumental work of William Dall on the tertiary Paleontology of Florida. It is also noteworthy because of the general fine state of preservation of its fossil remains. Numerous species from other localities of the Caloosahatchee, as well as some Recent & Miocene species, have been described & figured. 50 black & white plates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors have done an outstanding job of compiling decades of data collected by their own field reconnaissance and other geoscientists... This represents a significant contribution to the understanding of the development of the Florida carbonate platform, and it will assist other disciplines as they strive for better understanding of our groundwater resources, aquifer characterizations, paleoenvironmental interpretations, and historical/educational geology programs. Walt Schmidt, Florida State Geologist & Chief, Florida Geological Survey, USA (praise for the first edition) Painting a complete picture of the history of the Everglades, Ancient Seas of Southern Florida: The Geology and Paleontology of the Everglades Region, Second Edition provides an overview of the geology, paleontology, and paleoceanography of the region. It emphasizes the upper 300m of the geologic framework of the area and gives insight into the local stratigraphy, geomorphology, lithology, and historical geology. Designed to be a field guide as well as a reference, the book is illustrated in full color with brand new photographs of exposed geologic sections, stratotype localities, collection sites, and details of interesting fossil beds. In this book, the authors illustrate almost 800 of the most important and diagnostic stratigraphic index fossils found in these beds, including over 50 species of corals and almost 700 species of mollusks, along with echinoderms, crustaceans, echinoids, petrified wood, and aquatic vertebrates. A new edition of The Geology of the Everglades and Adjacent Areas, it contains larger images of fossil shells, corals, and echinoderms and includes new updated geological data and concepts, as well as an expanded iconography of stratigraphic index fossils. Based on the data gleaned from these fossils, it also offers a series of geomorphological visualizations, showing the possible appearances of the Florida Peninsula during the times when it was covered by tropical seas, from the Oligocene to the late Pleistocene. This second edition provides a new perspective on both the historical geology of southern Florida and the evolution of one of America’s most beautiful natural treasures, the Everglades.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synchronous deposition of carbonate and siliciclastic sediments occurred on the South Florida Platform during the late Oligocene to early Pliocene, producing a large number of complex mixed carbonate/siliciclastic lithologies, some perhaps unique to the region. All 14 defined subfacies contain a mix of carbonate and siliciclastic sediments along with phosphorite grains. Only a small percentage of the stratigraphic section contains sediments with a solely carbonate or solely siliciclastic composition. Transitions between subfacies are both transitional and abrupt. The hypothesis that carbonate and siiciclastic mixed sediment sequences show mostly abrupt boundaries (Mount, 1984) is not supported. Based on the interpretations of the depositional environments for the 14 subfacies found in the Hawthorn Group, the entire stratigraphic section was deposited on a ramp with a high percentage of the sediments containing a carbonate mud component. Homocinal ramp deposits are characterized by low, rather uniform slopes from shallow waiter into the basin with continuous grading of sediment types from nearshore sands to deep water sands and muds. Many described ramp deposits contain little or no mud in the open inner or outer ramp subfacies, such as the eastern Florida ramp, the current west Florida ramp, and other wave-dominated ramps, such as southern Australia, (James and Von der Borch, 1991); (James et al., 1994; Boreen and James, 1993). Modern ramp deposits bordering restricted water bodies, such as the Arabian Gulf, do contain a belt of muddy open-water inner and outer ramp deposits. Ancient epeiric sea ramp deposits also produced wackestone and mudstone deposits in the open shelf area. Therefore, the southern Florida ramp deposited during the late Oligocene to early Pliocene was more similar to a restricted-sea ramp than a wave-dominated ramp. A new chronostratigraphy was developed for the upper Paleogene and Neogene sediments on the central part of the South Florida Platform. The ages of the sediments were determined by the combined use of calcareous nannofossils, plank-tonic foraminifera, diatoms, strontium-isotope stratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, and carbon and oxygen isotope variations. Based on these integrated dating techniques, the following age constraints using the Berggren et al. (1995b) time scale were placed on the formations in this region: the Suwannee Limestone is constrained between 33.7 to 28.5 Ma, the Arcadia Formation of the Hawthorn Group is constrained from between 26.5 to 12.4 Ma, the Peace River Formation of the Hawthorn Group is constrained between 1 1 to 4.3 Ma, the Tamiami Formation is constrained between 4.29 to 2.15 Ma, and the Caloosahatchee Formation is constrained from 2.14 to 0.6 Ma. Eleven third-order sea-level events were recognized in the stratigraphic record between the late O]igocene and early Pliocene. With the exception of the early Miocene sea-level events, the remaining seven events corresponded closely in time with the global sea-level curve of Haq et al. (1988). However, the depth of flooding on the Florida Platform differed from the relative depths predicted by the Haq curve. During the late Aquitanian and Burdigalian, Haq observed three third-order sea-level events, but four events were recorded in the cores studied. It is hypothesized that two of the events correlate to event 2.1 of Haq et al. (1988), which is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Painting a complete picture of the history of the Everglades, The Geology of the Everglades and Adjacent Areas brings together theperspectives of various geoscientists to provides an overview of the geology, paleontology, and paleoceanography of the Everglades region. It emphasizes the upper 300 m of the geologic framework of the area and gives insight into the local stratigraphy, geomorphology, lithology, and historical geology. Building upon the geologic nomenclature and stratigraphic sequences set down by the Florida Geological Survey, the book includes redefinitions of some previously poorly known formations, the chronological fine-tuning of other poorly known units, and the description of 7 new members. Designed to be a field guide as well as a reference, the book is illustrated with photographs of exposed geologic sections, stratotype localities, collection sites, and details of interesting fossil beds. It contains 124 full-page illustrations with 69 black and white figures, 43 black and white plates of index fossils, and 12 full color plates of simulated space shuttle images of Florida’s ancient seas and coastlines. This text is accompanied by downloadable resources that feature animated maps along with a Power Point presentation of simulated space shuttle imagery of Eocene-to-Holocene Florida. The book is arranged by geologic time, ranging from the late Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene to the Holocene. The authors place lithostratigraphic descriptions of the geologic formations and members into this chronological framework, along with the paleogeography of the seas and lakes within which they were deposited. They also emphasize biostratigraphy with over 1000 index fossils listed and over 400 illustrated. The book brings together information previously spread through innumerable publications, saving you the time and effort it would take to assemble and cross-reference multiple sources.
