Notes on the Fauna of the Chipola Formation - XLIII Additions to the Molluscan Fauna Since 1947

Abstract

In the fifty years since Gardner's monumental study (1926-1947, U.S. GeologicalSurvey Professional Paper 142) of the Ali:m Bluff molluscan fauna, a large number of species, both new and previously described, have been added to the fauna of the Chipola Formation. These, for the most part, have been published in TulaneStudies in Geology and Paleontology,either in generic monographs or in the series entitled "Notes on the fauna of the Chipola Formation." As a conclusion to this series and to the journal as a whole, a final compilation seems in order.
