Sc2t fella norrisi Pack occurs in a massive, coarse sandstone a 

 short distance below a very fossiliferous horizon which con- 

 tains a large number of species that are common in the Temblor 

 of the Kern River district. Scutella norrisi Pack has been 

 considered to be characteristic of a lower horizon of the lower 

 Miocene in the valley districts, and the finding of this species 

 associated with Astrodapsis merriami Anderson, in rocks only 

 a short distance below beds containing the typical Temblor 

 fauna, makes it appear that the Turritella inezana Zone and the 

 Turritella ocoyana Zone were not widely separated in time. 



The following is a list of species that have been obtained 

 from the lower Miocene beds of Kern River, the San Juan 

 area, and Los Vaqueros Valley.
