Johansson Department of Geology and Mineralogy University of Massachusetts Amherst, Massachusetts Special Department Publication No. 3 1952 //AKTsRcftfJ A BIBLIOGRAPHY TO THE PALEONTOLOGY OF MASSACHUSETTS 1821 - 1949 Warren I. Johansson University of Massachusetts - Amherst The geological literature of Massachusetts is widely scattered and frequently it is difficult to discover what has been published about particular Massachusetts fossils. As part of the program of geological research by the Univer- sity of Massachusetts, the following bibliography to the paleontology of Massachusetts is presented in hope that it will serve to further- st imulate the professional and amateur paleontologist and others interested in the various phases of earth science. This is the second bibliography published by the University of Massachusetts, the first being entitled "A Bibliography of Massachusetts Minerals" by Warren I. Johansson . In compiling the bibliography, the major sources of refer- ence were the Catalogue and Index of Contributions to North American Geology, 1732 - 1891-Darton, the United States Geol- ogical Survey Bibliographies of North American geology through 1949, other bulletins and folios of the United States Geologi- cal Survey, publications of Essex Institute, American Journal of Science, and the Journal of Paleontology. The author has not seen all the literature listed in the bibliography nor are notations made for all papers. Annotations have been inserted only where they appeared de- sirable to clarify the contents. Many of the references are of historical interest only, but they are included for com- pleteness . No attempt has been made to include newspaper articles, student reports and theses. The bibliography coisists of two parts: Part I is arranged as an author index; Part II is an index arranged to acquaint the reader with the geographical distribution, the general types of fossils and the geological age of the fossils of Massachusetts as listed in Part I. Because of the nature of such a bibliography, there are bound to be some unintentional omissions. The compiler will appreciate having omissions brought to his attention in order that a supplementary bibliography may be prepared at a future date. Part I.

Cambrian - Eastern Massachusetts The f ossi lif erous strata of eastern Massachusetts is as- signed to the Lower and Middle Cambrian. The Lower Cambrian includes the Hoppin slate and Weymouth formation while the Braintree slate is considered to be Middle Cambrian. Lower Cambrian fossils occur in the vicinity of East Point, Nahant, and in the Hoppin slate of North Attleboro. Both Lower and Middle Cambrian fossils occur in the Weymouth-Bra intree area. Emerson (1917, p. 39) states that Upper Cambrian fossils have been found in the quartzite pebbles of the Carboniferous Dighton conglomerate in the Narragansctt Basin. The Cambrian of eastern Massachusetts is best known for its trilobites, but a number of other fossils including Brachiopoda, Pelecy- poda, Gastropoda and Pteropoda have been found. The following references deal with the Cambrian of eastern Massachusetts: 2, 9, 20, 21, 24, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 70, 71, 72, 82, 87, 88, 89, 93, 94, 95, 96, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 149, 150, 157, 170, 185, 193, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 222,223, 225, 227, 228, 232,233, 235, 236, 243, 257, 258, 259, 262,263, 264, 265, 266, 272, 273, 279, 284, 285, 286. Cambro-Ordovician - Taconic Mts. and Berkshire County This area includes extreme western Massachusetts adjoining the New York State Border and also th< vicinity of Mt . Groy- lock, Adams, Massachusetts. J. D. Dana (1888) reports the finding of both Cambrian and Ordovician (Trenton)- fossil? in this area. For the most part the remains are scarce and not well preserved. The following references deal with the Cambro-Ordovician of extreme western Massachusetts: 10, 43, 48, 49, 50, 82, 112, 199, 260, 261. - 26 - Devonian - Bernardston and from Glen Hills, Rowley. Fossilif erous strata has been found in the cuts of the long -abandoned Williams farm quarry in Bernardston. This locality is situated about one mile north of Bernardston on the east side of West Mountain. The crystalline limestone together with the overlying magnetite and quartzite has sup- plied paleontological material. The fossil remains include some corals, broken crinoid columns and brachiopods. For the most part remains of fossils are not well preserved. Some late Silurian (?) or early Devonian marine inverte- brates are reported (Emerson, 1917, p. 163) from a calcareous shale near Glen Mills in Rowley. The following references deal with the Devonian of the Bernardston area: 46, 47, 51, 76, 78, 82, 98, 102, 278. Carboniferous - Narragansett Basin, Worcester area, Chelmsford and Newbury. The Narragansett Basin is located in southeastern Massa- chusetts. It extends essentially from Brockton in a south- westerly direction into adjacent Rhode Island. Much of the underlying rock is assigned to the Rhode Island formation. This graphite-coal bearing formation has yielded many fossil plant remains from localities throughout much of the basin. b- few fossil ostracods, insects and amphibia have also been reported. The Worcester " coal mine" is situated east of the city in a bed of the Worcester phyllite. The carbonaceous and graphitic phyllite has produced several types of Pennsylvani an plant fossils. Eozoon canadense in limestone is reported from Chelmsford and H ew bury- The following references deal with the Carboniferous of the Narragansett Basin, the Worcester area and Eozoon canadense of Chelmsford and Newbury: 3, 13, 16, 19, 21, 37, 82, 91, 92, 112, 147, 148, 153, 154, 156, 166, 189, 190, 191, 208, 209, 210, 212, 233, 246, 281, 287, 288. Triassic - Connecticut Valley. The Upper Triassic rocks of the Connecticut Valley are assigned to the Newark group. Triassic conglomerate, arkose, sandstone, shale, diabase and tuff is represented in various parts of the valley. The Longmeedow sandstone and Chicopee shale has produced many types of animal ?nd plant fossils. Good plant fossil remains have been found at Gill, Turners Falls, Easthampton (vicinity of Mt. Tom Reservation) , Holyoko and South Hadleys Falls. To summarize, plant fossils from the Connecticut Valley include sons conifers, cycads, ferns and scouring rushes. Invertebrate remains are few and for the most part uncommon. A neuropterous insect larva is abundant - 27 in the shale in the vicinity of Turners Falls. Th Estheria has been reported fron west Holyoke and i two species of clams (Unio) have been collected, and worm trails are common in many areas. The ver are well represented by fish and reptilian remains are mostly ganoids. Fossil fishes are associated black bituminous shales of Turners Falls, Whitmore Sunderland and also less commonly at Chicopee Fall species of reptilian footprint impressions or dino as they are often called, are found in the shales vicinity of Turners Falls and also near the Holyok Range. In comparison with the footprint impressi osseous remains are rare. R. S. Lull (1915) lists eight localities for bone and footprint impression Connecticut Valley of Massachusetts. e Crustacean n Wilbraham Arthropod t ebrat es The fish with the Ferry, s .

Cretaceous end Tertiary - Martha's Viney-rd and Nantucket. Fossilif erous Cretaceous rocks are found at G-ay Head and near Indian Hill, Martha's Vineyard. At Gay Head they contain lignitic leaf-bearing clays and a number of invertebrate fos- sils. Sponge spicules have been reported from the Crotecoous clay and sand at Third Cliff, Scituate. Lower Eocene plant and molluscan fossils (T. C. Brown, 1905) were found in the drift of Chappaquiddick Island, Martha's Vineyard. The Miocene and Pliocene of Gay Head and Chilmark has produced a long list of Mollusca as well as the partial re- mains of sharks and whales. (17. H. Dall, 1894). The following references deal with the Cretaceous and Tertiary of the Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket area: 17, 22, 39, 40, 41, 44, 68, 73, 82, 112, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 151, 168, 187, 211, 226, 231, 241, 242, 248, 249, 267, 274, 275, 276, 285, 289. Pleistocene and Post-Pleistocene - Boston Basin, Cape Cod, Connecticut Valley, Dighton, Nantucket, etc. One should consult the long list of Pleistocene fossils from the coastal beds of Massachusetts (See jSmorson, 1917, pp. 144-145) to get a detailed breakdown of the number of species and their locations.
