NORTH AMERICAN GEOLOGIC FORMATION NAMES: BIBLIOG 
RAPHY, SYNONYMY, AND DISTRIBUTION. 



Bv F. B. Weeks. 



INTRODUCTION. 

This publication contains: 

(1) A list of all North American sedimentary formation names, 
arranged alphabetically by geographic provinces under each of the 
larger geologic subdivisions to which they have been assigned, in 
general, by various authors. 

(2) A list of the tiames used to designate a particular stratum or 
aggregate of sedimentary strata within the area of North America. 
It is arranged alphabetically, and the references to each name are placed 
in chronological order. Each name appears in this list as it is used in 
the reference cited. The references refer only to the more important 
descriptions of formations or discussions of correlation, synonymy, or 
nomenclature. The geologic time-division to which a formation 
belongs, and the State, Territory, or country in which it occurs, form 
a part of each entry. 

(3) A list of the geographic names that have been applied to masses 
of igneous rocks occurring in North America. Only those names that 
indicate that the rocks are of igneous origin have been included in this 
list. All names of metamorphic or other rocks of uncertain origin 
are included in the list of sedimentary formation names. 

(4) An index list of formation names. 

At the inception of this work it was seen that it would be necessary 
to read carefully every article or book on geology that had been pub- 
lished in order to be certain that every name that had been used to 
designate particular strata should be included in this catalogue. It 
was evident that the necessity for an early completion of the work and 
the limited time that could be devoted to it rendered it impossible to 
adopt such a plan. Furthermore, it is well known that during the 
early years of geologic literature names were employed so loosely that 
in very many cases it is impossible to determine whether it was 
intended to use the name merely in a descriptive sense or as a dis- 
tinctive formation name. It may happen, therefore, that names are 

9 



10 NORTH AMERICAN GEOLOGIC FORMATION NAMES. [BULL.ldl. 

included in this list which were not intended to be proposed as forma- 
tion names, or that the first mention of a name subsequently used as a 
distinctive formation name has been omitted. 

This work not only presents a list of formation names, and their 
synonymy and correlations as given by authors, but also serves as a 
bibliography of the literature describing each formation. Mere men- 
tions of occurrence were not entered, but it was intended to include 
descriptions of a formation which defined it either wholly or in part. 
It is probably true that the discrimination as to what is a sufficient 
description to entitle the reference to be included in this catalogue has 
not been of such a uniform character as it would have been if the prep- 
aration of the catalogue had been wholly the work of one person; but 
it is not considered less valuable on this account, since all the reall}" 
important descriptions are believed to have been included. 

No attempt has been made to indicate the synonymy or taxonomic 
value of any formation except as it was given by the author of the 
reference cited. It is intended to refer the investigator to the litera- 
ture of any North American geologic formation name, and he must 
exercise his own judgment as to its value and standing as a formation 
name. 

The work of preparing this bulletin has been in progress for nearly 
three years. It has been interrupted from time to time by other office 
and field work of the author. * During the winter of 1899-1900 it 
became evident that this work must be completed at once for the use 
of members of the United States Geological Survey in assigning names 
to the formations which were being delineated on the folios forming 
the Geologic Atlas of the United States. The Director of the Survey 
requested the following geologists to assist in completing the work: 
Messrs. M. R. Campbell, N. H. Darton, J. S. Diller, G. H. Girty, 
C. W. Hayes, F. H. Knowlton, F. L. Ransome, G. O. Smith, A. C. 
Spencer, T. W. Stanton, J. A. Taff, T. W. Vaughan,and David White. 
The literature that then remained to be examined was apportioned 
among these gentlemen, and since that time the material has been 
brought down to January 1, 1901, by the author. The methods of 
preparing this material, previously adopted, were followed with as 
much uniformity as was possible, and the author, as well as geologists 
in general, is greatly indebted to these gentlemen who assisted in 
bringing the work to an early completion. 

In the discrimination of what constitutes a sufficient description of 
a formation and the determination of the problems of nomenclature, 
the following suggestions are offered. These represent, in brief, the 
conclusions of the author as the result of his studies of the geologic 
litemture of North America. 

A formation which is associated with other strata at the particular 
locality from which it takes its name should be defined, either by its 



WEEKS.] INTRODUCTION. 1 1 

lithologic or its f aunal characters, in such a manner that the reader, or 
the observer in the field, can differentiate it from the other strata with 
which it occurs. Where a name is given to a series of strata of varied 
lithologic character and of wide distribution, the general characters 
of the lithologic variations and the stratigraphic relations should be 
so given as to indicate, approximately, what are its relations to other 
formations of the same or related provinces. 

In determining the names to be applied to formations the laws of 
priority and prescription (general usage) should be observed. The 
name first given to a definite formation or series of strata should hold, 
unless this name is superseded in literature by another which has come 
into general use. In the latter case the first name should be dropped 
for this formation; and, where there can be no question as to the gen- 
eral usage of the subsequent name, the first name might be used again 
for a different formation without causing serious trouble. Such reuse 
would certainly be very advantageous in regiolis where there are few 
geographic names. 

As an illustration, the name Berkshire limestone was first applied to 
certain limestones in western Massachusetts. Subsequently the name 
Stockbridge limestone was employed to designate this formation and 
has since come into general usage for this subdivision of the Cambrian 
in that region. The name Berkshire limestone has therefore become 
obsolete, and the name might be used to designate some other forma- 
tion without creating confusion. 

The duplication of formation names has become a serious matter, as 
will be seen from an examination of this list. It seems very desirable 
that in the future there should be no further duplication; new names 
should replace those which can not hold their present varied definitions; 
thus in time all the present discrepancies in the nomenclature of forma- 
tions would disappear from geologic literature. 

It is the intention of the writer to continue this list in the yearly 
publication, Bibliogriaphy and Index of North American Geology, etc., 
under the subheading, ''Geologic formations described."

PUBLICATIONS OF UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. 

[Bulletin No. 191.) 

The publications of the United States Geological Survey consist of (1) Annual 
Reports, (2) Monographs, (3) Professional Papers, (4) Bulletins, (5) Mineral Re- 
sources, (6) Water-supply and. Irrigation Papers, (7) Topographic Atlas of United 
States — folios and separate sheets thereof, (8) Geologic Atlas of United States — folios 
thereof. The classes numbered 2, 7, and 8 are sold at cost of publication; the others 
are distributed free. A circular giving complete lists may be had on application. 

The Bulletins (formerly sold but now distributed gratuitously by authority of a 
joint resolution of Congress approved May 16, 1902) treat of a variety of subjects, and 
the total number issued is large. They have therefore been classified into the follow- 
ing series: A, Economic geology; B, Descriptive geology; C, Systematic geology and 
paleontology; D, Petrography and mineralogy; E, Chemistry and physics; F, Geog- 
raphy; G, Miscellaneous. This bulletin is the fifty-sixth in Series C, the complete 
list of which follows:
