APPENDIX C 

 FAUNAL LISTS 



The presence of upper Tertiary sediments in outcrop and shallow subcrop under the 

 north Florida Atlantic inner Continental Shelf is of considerable stratigraphic interest. 

 Therefore, more detailed faunal data on these sediments, not discussed in the text, are 

 included in Appendix C. 



A typical sample of type L sediment from core 39 at 11.5 feet downhole was submitted 

 to the Paleontology and Stratigraphy Branch, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for detailed 

 analysis of the microfauna. This analysis correlates with zone N. 19 of the Neogene 

 planktonic foraminiferal zonation of Banner and Blow (1965) indicating a probable early 

 Pliocene age. The species Ust for core 36 at 11.5 feet compiled by Miss Ruth Todd, USGS, 

 is presented in Table C-1. Assignment of the stratigraphic range of the sample was based 

 largely on planktonic foraminifera and ostracods. 



Dr. J. E. Hazel, USGS, examined the ostracods in sample C-36-11.5 and also analyzed 

 ostracod fauna in several other samples of type L sediment from various parts of the study 

 area. Results of this analysis indicate that deposition of type L sediment occurred under 

 various environmental conditions over a period probably extending from early to late 

 Pliocene. 



Table C-2 Hsts the most common foraminifera occurring in reflection unit B. This hst is 

 based on analysis by the authors of available samples containing identifiable remains.
