Correlation of Gravity of the Coal Creek Serpentine Mass, Blanco and Gillespie Counties, Texas (open access)

Correlation of Gravity of the Coal Creek Serpentine Mass, Blanco and Gillespie Counties, Texas

Abstract: "Gravitational observations were made of the pre-Cambrian Coal Creek serpentine mass in Blanco and Gillespie Counties, Texas, the geology of which had been mapped previously. The observed gravitational anomalies indicate roughly the depth of the serpentine mass below which it may possibly grade into its parent peridotitic rock. Probable correlation between the gravitational map and the other geologic features of the area is indicated" (p. 151).

Upper Albian (Cretaceous) Ammonoidea from Texas

Abstract: This paper brings part of the classification of upper Albanian ammonites up to date and up to modern standards for some of the Texas species. Twelve new species are described (Drakeoceras georgetownsense, D. drakei, D. arringtoni, D. kummeli, D. gabrielense, D. dellense, D. lasswilzi, Durnovariles adkinsi, Deiradoceras amsburyi, Pervinquieria whilneyi, P. smedalae, Prohysteroceras, P. atchisoni) and two previously described species are redescribed. The fourteen species are distributed through six genera, two of which are new (Drakeoceras and Craginites); all six genera are classified as Mortoniceratinae (Ammonitina).
