Excerpt from Fossil Fishes of Southern California In the Sierra Santa Monica of Southern California is a body of sandstones and shales, which are considerably older than the diatomaceous deposits referred to the Monterey age of the Miocene period. The latter are sometimes segregated under the name of Puente. The fish-fauna of these earlier rocks is evidently much older than that of the Monterey deposits and of the lowest Miocene or possibly of the Oligocene age. As this peculiar fish-fauna is well developed in the fine sandstones about Soledad Pass, in the extreme northern part of Los Angeles County, we may provisionally call this group the Soledad deposits, using a new but temporary name, leaving the stratigraphical determination to geologists. From Soledad deposits as thus indicated the geological collection of Stanford University has received fossil fishes from four localities - 1. Brown's Canon in the Sierra Santa Monica, four miles north of Soldiers' Home and about ten miles northeast of the city of Santa Monica. The specimens from this locality arc in a pale yellowish sandstone, and mostly fairly preserved. Etringus scintillans is well represented, with two incomplete specimens and many detached scales of Ganolytes cameo. There is also a single fine example and some fragments of Auxides sanctae-monicae. The two small examples of Buebiceps Raninus come from Brown's Canon as also the type of Rogenites bowersi. 2. Moore's Canon in the same neighborhood, in soft, fine, white sandstone. The specimens found here are mainly Rogenio solitudinis. 3. Soledad Pass, near Lancaster, about forty miles north of Los Angeles. The numerous specimens are in rather fine, white shaly sandstone, much like that of Moore's Canon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Fossil Fishes of Diatom Beds of Lompoc, California Since that time, through the courtesy of Mr. Arthur H. Krieger, director of the Celite Products Company, and his assistants, Messrs. Ed ward Porteous and Edward B. Starr, Dr. Gilbert and Dr. Jordan have successively Visited these deposits, making extensive collections. Still later, Mr. Willard J. Classen, a student in Geology at Stanford University, through the kindly interest Of Mr. Timothy Hopkins, has spent some time there securing fossil fishes for Stanford University. A large collection of fish has been Obtained, this forming the basis of the present paper. The Lompoc deposit itself is wholly unique. It lies in Santa Barbara County, California, within an angle on the north side of the Sierra Santa Ynez, a range composed mainly of Miocene sandstones and shales. This angle or ancient bay covers about four square miles. In this space a continuous and almost uniform mass of diatoms has been deposited, to the maximum depth of feet. The erosion of a stream on the west side has cut this deposit through to its bottom of yellowish sandstone. Over most of this space, the diatom deposits come to the surface, but in places the mass is overlaid by a coarse, hard breccia or conglomerate, containing many bones of whales, and occasionally teeth of sharks. On the extreme west, it is overlaid by limestone in which a species of Pecten is very abundant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ... triangular in outline, its depth at nape one and four-fifths in its length. Mouth long, oblique, the mandible apparently projecting, the maxillary oar-shaped, slightly emarginate behind; its length about four in head; no teeth preserved; bones of head much confused; a rather sharp bony ridge running horizontally back from the eye, and apparently a broader bony ridge on temporal region behind this; opercle large, rough, but without spines, the lower part with coarse, radiating ridges. Vertebrae very strong, deeper than long, with strong interneurals. Six neural spines visible under the spinous dorsal, its insertion is opposite third and fourth vertebrae, the spines stout (broken), the number not to be ascertained; the highest about half depth of head: some broken spines out of place about the head; imprint of a rather broad pectoral obscure. The character and make-up of the bones of the head suggest the genus Aspicottus, but this resemblance may be wholly elusive, and the fish may not belong to the Cottide. The spines on the head if present are all broken. Some moderate, thin scales, apparently cycloid, are scattered about, but they may not belong to this fish. It is named for Dr. Oliver Perry Hay, who has contributed much to our knowledge of fossil fishes. Family GOBIIDE. 49. Aboma antiqua Jordan and Gilbert, new species. (Plate XXIX, fig. 1) Two specimens of a small goby from the diatomaceous shales at Bairdstown, Dr. J. Z. Gilbert. These are two and three inches in length. Two others, about three and a half inches long, were obtained by Dr. Ralph Arnold in the same rock at Shorb, California. The largest of the specimens (No. II) from Bairdstown may be taken as the type of the species. The description is drawn from all. The figure is...
