 wide range in the Tejon, but so far as known they are not found in 

 the Martinez. There are many other Tejon forms which will serve as 

 guides. The faunal break between the Martinez and the Tejon is 

 very wide when we consider the large number of species which are 

 confined to the one group or the other. 



COMPARISON OF THE UPPER MARTINEZ AND THE 

 LOWERMOST TEJON 



During the last two Summer Sessions of the University the field 

 classes in palaeontology made extensive collections in the Tejon, south 

 of Mount Diablo. As was mentioned above in describing the small 

 area of Martinez south of Mount Diablo, the Tejon for the most part 

 is in unconformable contact with the Chico. Between Cave Point and 

 Oyster Point a complete section of the Tejon was studied and it was 

 found to be fossiliferous from top to botton. The basal portion in 

 contact with the Chico was most prolific and yielded a very large 

 fauna, a portion of which is given in the list below. This basal fauna 

 was obtained from beds not over twenty-five feet above the bottom of 

 the section.
