COLLECTIONS MADE BY CHARLES A. ROSS
The following collections were used in Charles A. Ross' 1965 Journal of
Paleontology article "Late Pennsylvanian Fusulinidae from the Gaptank
Formation, West Texas" vol. 39, p. 1151-1176.
Section 26, bed 2 (26-2) 30-3 31-3 32-1*
26-8 30-6 31-8 32-11 (2 bags)
26-10B 30-10 31-13 32-12
28-1* 30-19 32-16 (?3 bags)
32-16 (=7-16-57-loc.7
(not 7-17-59-loc.7
& not 6753 (Leonard?))
*Not included in study - probably lacked fusulinids.
34-15 36-4 37-1
35-6 36-6 37-9 (8-20-57; 6683
35-7 36-7 37-9 (float)
35-10 37-11
37-12 6683
The publication locates the collections quite well. These samples were
retained by Charles Ross from the main smaples for future reference.
They are part of YPM accession 6683
Charles Ross had a note to me that he was still tracking 37-36b which may
be from the lower part of the Hess facies. He was also trying to locate
the source of samples 8-31-66-J and 8-31-66-O and -Q; probably southeastern
Arizona.
