APPENDIX E 

 FAUNAL LISTS 



This appendix contains lists of the foraminifera (Tables E-1 to E-5) 

 from samples of the deposits of Late Cretaceous and Tertiary age occur- 

 ring in the study area. Specimens were picked from small splits of 

 representative samples and mounted on micropalentology slides for 

 identification. In a few cases where the fauna were sparse, the foram- 

 inifera were concentrated by flotation in a mixture of bromoform and 

 acetone which had a specific gravity of about 2.2. 



Identification of species was made from available literature. In 

 addition, the most frequently occurring species were checked with speci- 

 mens in the Cushman Collection at the U.S. National Museum, Washington, 

 D.C. 



Faunal lists show the frequency of occurrence of each listed species 

 from representative samples of the pertinent age. Each list also includes 

 several nonspecific measures which are useful in assessing the assemblage 

 as a whole. The percent frequency of planktonic and agglutinated speci- 

 mens includes percent of these types in the unidentified part insofar as 

 they can be determined.
