NOTES ON THE UPPER TERTIARY AND PLEISTOCENE MOLLUSKS OF PENINSULAR FLORIDA' Bv v..r. C. MANSFIELD INTRODUCTION* The major purposes of this paper are to present, ( 1) the results of a study of a molluscan fauna tound near Buckingham, Lee County, :Florida, and of its distribution elsewlu:re, :n order to determine its stratigraphic reiative to the Pliocene Caloosahatchee marl; and (2) an attempt to correlate the Pliocene deposits of the western of Florida with those of the eastern side. A secondary purpose of the paper is to pres'ent a study of certain Pleistocene deposits associated with the Pliocene deposits. No attempt is made in paper to study or list all of the many species so ably described by Dall3 from the Pliocene of Florida, but an effort is made to note some of the characteristic .species in certain beds and to determine their relation .. ship with those of other beds. Most of the type material of the Caloosahatchce Pliocene marl is deposited in the U. S. National Museum, and grateful acknowledgment is herewith made to the authorities of this institution for access to this' material for study. 1\fost of the other fossil material studied in this paper was collected by the writer, F. S. MacNeil, or by C. W. Mumm, all of the U. S. Geological Survey. This niaterial was in place along the Caloosahatchee River or from spoil thrown out by the dredge in deepening the channel or making cutoffs in. the river during the recent work of the U. S. Anny Engineers. 1 Published with the permission of the Director of the United States Geological Unitea States Department of the Interior. *Dr. Wendell Clay Mansfield passed away July 24, 1939, while this paper was in press. He had seen the galley proofs, but the page proofs have been read by others. It is greatly to be regretted that his fruitful labor on the Tertiary of the southeastern United. States is at an end.-EntTOR.

8 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SU:RVEV-BU1..t.E'I'1 N ElGHTEEN NEW NAMES FOR FORMATIONS The correlation of some of the later dept>sits of. southern . Flol'ida is s omewhat. uncertain. In view of this fact, it seems desirable apply local formational names to certain of them . in. order that they . may be more readily referred to in this paper, or may be shifted, if necessary, at a future time to their proper niches. These names are as follows: Bucki1tgham limeston.e.-A new formational name is here proposed for a limestone cropping out in Lee County, Florida. The type lo cality is at a quarry near State Highway no, 25, half a mile west o[ Orange River, Lee County,.Florida (s'ec. 5, T. 44 S., R. 26 E.). The age is helieved to be uppermost Miocene. 'J'he fossils and other characteristics pertaining to this limestone will be discussed at another place in this paper. Tamiami limeslone.-A new formational name is proposed for a lih1cstone penetrated in digging shallow ditches to form the road bed of the Tamiami Trail over a distance of about 34 miles in Collier and l\f on roe Counties, Florida. The character . of the matrix and the included fossils \'vere described else,vhere by W. C. Mansfield.6 i'he matrix of the Tamiami limestone consists mainly of a dirty'white to gray, rather hard, porous, nonoolitic 'limestone with. inclusions or' clear quartz grains. The faunas, so far as studied, inc1ttde 6 genera of gastropods, 15 of pelecypods, and 2 genera of echinoids: Aside from these, Foraminifera, barnacles; and Bryozoa were observed at. a few localities. Among the pelecypods' the scallops and oysters are the most conspicuous forms, both in the number of species and individuals and in the rather large size which some of them attained. The echinoid, Encope macroplwra tamimniensis l\1ansfield, was found at three localities1 and the species Cassidulus evergla.dcnsis l\1ansfield at two localities. 'fhc character of the faunas indicates that they lived near the shore in comparatively shallow water. The age was, and still is, assigned_ to the Pliocene, but the exact position in the Pliocene has not been definitely Tentatively, it is placed at the base of the Pliocene below the Caloosahatchee marl.

NOTES ON UPPER TERTJARY AND PLEJSTOCENE MOLLUSKS 15 The information so far obtained indicates that the Buckingham limcston< forms an arch that crosses the Caloosahatchee River, the highest point of the arch being ncar Floweree Grove. It is not certain whether the limestone arch exposed ncar Buckingham is continuous with that a little farther east across the Caloosahatchee River or is a distinct, parallel arch. It may be the same, as the upper surface of the limestone, where observed, has been denuded. To the northwest the Buckingham limestone propably was penetrated in digging pits west of Adine. In a list of species collected from these pits and published by Tucker and Wilson12", the following species in their li!;t are reportt•d not to. occur above the :Miocene: Caucellaria. tabulata Gardner and Aldrich, Fasciolaria sparrowi Emmons, Dorsmt1Uit? pUcatilu11t (Bose), and Natica guppyana Toula. The Ostrea identified as 0. haitr.nsis Sowcrby may be the s ame as that which the writer has identified from Buckingham and elsewhere as 0. llteridionalis Heilprin. The pits were filled with water and inaccessible to the writer in 1938. The following species that came from some position in the pit were collected,-Os/.rea cf. 0. tamiamieusis Mansfield, Ostrea gr. 0. tr-igonalis Conrad, and Ettcope nta.rrophora tmnimniensis Mansfield. The uppermost bed in the area of the pits carries typical Caloosahatrhee Plioceuc species, and there may be, consequently, three horizons represented here-the Buckingham limestone (upper Miocene), Tamiami limc Rtone

CALOOSAHATCHEE MARL lNTERPRE.TATION BY DALL IND HARRIS OF THE BEDS ALONG CALOOSAHATCHEE RIVER Dall and Harris .,_ divided the strata along the _ Caloosahatchee River into the "Oyster reef marl beds, conchiferous or Tu.rritella . . . marl, and layers of sand; which intergrade without distinction and have no invariable succession, but always grade into the shallow-watet fauna at the top, which, is overlain by the Planorbs rock, and this in turn by post-Pliocene which are seldom of great thickness.'' The writer is unable to interpret fully the s'uccession of beds g.i:Ven by Dall and Harris, they cite for some of the units no definite locality along the river where beds may be exposed. O)•ster marl.-The type locality of the "Oyster marl" of Dall and Harris fb is at a point on the west bank of Peace Creek, three miles below l\tfare Branch. The oyster from this place belongs to the group of Ostrea trigonalis Conrad and probably is the same. species that occurs at Alligator Creek (see p. 22), the horizon o which is tentatively referred to the Tamiami limestone. The writet has not seen this species from Peace Creek in the typical Caloosa hatchee marl, the oysters occurring in the Caloosahatchee being 0, sculpturata . Say and 0. virginica Gmelin. The latter species is more abundant in shallow-water deposits. l\1atson and Clapp lOb s'tate that a conspicuous oyster bed, about one foot thick, rises above the level of the stream 3 y;i miles below Labelle. As the writer has not seen_ this bed, he does not know the name of the species. l-Ie has noted, however, that specimens of Ostrea . occur directly above a clay bed in the section above Fort Denaud, but are not confined to any posi tion in the section. Turritel/a marl.-The Tu.rritella marl of Dall and Harris is some what indefinite, as no section has been found in which they indicate its position. They may have had in mind "compact marl" in their s'ection along the Caloosahatchee River two miles below Fort Thomp-

NOTES .ON UPPER TERTIARY AND PLEISTOCENE" MOLLUSKS 17. son.•r The writer assumes that this section is at the locality about three-fourths of a mile below Labelle where there are many indivi duals of Turritella perattenttata, as well as other species of Turritella : in the marl. Layers of sand.---The layers of marine sand, which may be in part equivalent to the Chione cancellata bed, are said to overlie the Tur ritella-bearing marl. Planorbis rock.-The Planorbis rock, which contains ( (Planorbis" f H eli soma] conanti Dall and (( P". [H.] disstoni Dall, is a thin bed (about three feet thick) of silicified mud which covers the marl beds near Fort Thompson. These two species of H elisonta (a Planorbis" . , appear to belong to the Pliocene, and at this locality are probably near the top of the Pliocene, but in the section above Fort Denaud, as will be discussed later, these species occur directly above a marine . clay bed. OBSERVATIONS BY THE WRITER ALONG CALOOSAHATCHEE RIVER In the Pliocene strata between Fort Thompson and a point three fourths of a mile below Fort Denaud there appear, as suggested hy Dall and to be gentle undulations, exposing more sediments above stream level in some places than in others. At Fort Thompson the Pliocene appears to dip below stream level. Localities near Labelle.-At Labelle a gray to yellow sand is exposed one foot or more above stream level; it contains Potamides scalatus Heilprin, Phacoides anodonta Say, and Cardium medium Linnaeus. This bed represents the highest part of the Pliocene at this place and is unconformably overlain by the Pleistocene. Farther upstream, the Planorbis bed of Dall and Harris occurs. The writer assumes that it overlies the marine bed, but the assumption has not been confirmed. About one mile below Labelle a very foss iii ferous, somewhat indurated gray marl containing many individuals of Tur ritella (station 11170) rises about 6 feet above stream level. This bed is believed to be stratigraphically below the 'Pliocene exposed farther upstream, and to have been deposited in rather deep water. It is in , ferred to be the Turritella bed of Dall. Matson and Clapp tob report two feet of fossiliferous, stratified , greenish-gray marl at the base of a section one mile below Labelle. They also state that the Caloosa hatchee marl attains a thickness of 7 feet at a locality 1 miles below Labelle and, as mentioned before, that it contains an oyster bed 1 foot above water level at point 3 miles below Labelle . . 2-

H. disstmz.i Dall T11rritclla sp. Ostrea sculpturata Conrad? Pecten gibbus gibbtu Linnacus, with smooth submargins Pecten (Pecten) aff. P. rave1teli Dall Phacoides sp. Anomia simplex D'Orbigny Other localities.-From a point about one mile below Fort Denauci downstream (west) to Olga, no characteristic Caloosahatchee Plio cene fossils were obtained. About one mile above Olga some dredged species indicate that they canie from the Tamiami limestone; and about one mile below Olga some typical Caloosahatchee Pliocene she11s were thrown out by the dredge. These Pliocene shells have affinities both with the faunas in the upper bed at Alligator Creek and that at Shell Creek (see below), suggesting they were deposited by the same sea. T NTERPRETATJON OF DEPOSITION The writer's interpretation of the deposition of the Pliocene de posits between Fort Thornps'on and a point about one mile below Fort Dcnaud is as follows: The sea advanced from the east, and in it was deposited material, of which the lowest bed exposed, one mile belo\\' Labelle, is the 2-foot bed of greenish, stratified marl reported by Mat son and Clapp.•ob '['he sea then became deeper in the area around LabeJie, and the Conchi ferous or Turritella bed of Dall and Harris was' deposited. Later, in this same area, the sea became shallower, and material containing near-shore marine shells was deposited, and later still material containing water she.lls. In the area between Labelle and Fort Denaud, little evidence was obtained indicative of conditions or of correlation, though among the dredged fossils examined at localities between the two places, none were found that indicate an older fauna than that of the Caloosa hatchee marl. Near Fort Denaud the oldest material visible is the clay deposit containing Pecten solaroides, a purely marine sediment. Ap parently the sea that deposited the succeeding materials was shallower, for they contain marine, fresh-water, and land shells, the fresh-water. shells being more abundant in the lower part. This fauna strongly

NOTES ON U PI>ER TERTIARY AND PLEISTOCENE MOLLUSKS 21 indicates that the shore Jine of the Caloosahatchee Pliocene sea was nearby. Whether or not the stratified marl at the base of the section near Labe11e represents the clay bed at the base of the section near Fort Denaud is unknown, but the probability is that it does not. Pos sibly the clay bed is as old as the Tarniami limestone. Of the near shore depobits near Fort Denaud, in the writer's opinion, the lower part containing fresh-water shells is nearly contemporaneous with that part of the deposits in the east, near Labelle: containing a deeper water fauna ( Turrltella.-bearing marl) ; and the upper part is nearly contemporaneous with t:he shallow-water deposits of the area around Labelle .. BEDS ON SHELL CREEK Shell Creel< is a south fork of Prairie Creek, which enters Peace Creek north of Cleveland, Charlotte County. Da11 and Harris:11 in referring to the scclion on Shell Creek, write: "The banks are higher here than on the Caloosahatchee, being 25 feet at the highest point, but the difference is chiefly of unfossiliferous marine sand 12 feet deep. Then comes about 2 feet of shallow water fauna with some Pliocene species, below which is a hard limestone stratum 2 or 3 feet thick, beneath which is a bed of conchiferous marl, like that of the Caloosa hatchee. There are slight differences in the fauna, such as might Lc expected at points 20 miles apart." Dal181\ reports, after an exhaustive study of the fauna at Shell Creek, a total of 256 species, of which 59 percent are Recent and 7 percent are peculiar. In comparison, the fauna on the Caloosahatchee River he reports to include 639 species, 0f which 48 percent are Recent and 28 percent are peculiar. Helisoma conanti (Daii), and 'H. disstoni (Dall) occur at both places as well as Ostrea virginica Gmelin. An excellent collection ob tained by the late Frank Burns from Shell Creek is deposited in the U. S. National Museum under the U. S. Geological Survey station no. 3300. These were collected along Shell Creek over a distance of about six miles. This col1ection probably includes fossils from more than one bed, though, if so, the fossils from the individual beds have not been isolated. As a whole the Pliocene faunas at Shell Creek and along the Caloosahatchee River are similar, and there seems to be no reason for separating them stratigraphically. Probably the same horizons arc represented at both places.

Here Mr. Willcox found an extensimt of the Caloosahatchee beds. The banks are about 12 feet high, the upper half being pure sand; the lower half contains fos'sils of Pliocene age, mollusks, barnacles, and fiat Echinidae. They differ from the Caloosahatchee deposits in being in pure sand instead of marl as a matrix. The uppet half of tht fossiliferous stratum shows the shallow-water fauna, with its usual partial admixture of strictly Pliocene extinct species. Some parts of the bed arc united by silicious cementation into a hard rock." records for Alligator Creek a total of 73 species, of which 63 percent: are Recent and none peculiar. There appear to be at least two and perhaps three horizons represented in this area-the Buckingham limestone, the Tamiami lime stone, and an upper bed containing Caloosahatchee Pliocene fossils. A collection was made by the writer and F. S. MacNeil from Creek above the highway hridgc neat Adine.

In this deposit was collected about 40 species of sheJls of which about 10 per cent were extinct Plio cene species. This bed seems to have fewer extinct species than the Caloosahatchee marls and may be regarded as a little younger, perhaps corresponding to the Planorbis rock, which seems to be absent on the Myakka." Dall ad writes that the fauna of the Myakka River has a total of 73 species, of which 72 percent ar e Recent and none peculiar to the locality. , The exact place at which Mr. WilJcox obtained his fossils is unknown. It is also not known with certainty that all the species recorded came from a single bed, and the fossils are, consequently, unsatisfactory as horizon markers. Pleistocene fossils are found on North Creek, near Osprey, which locality is nearer the coast but not far away from Myakka River and a number of the species are common to both places.

The presence of certain species, especially when repre sented by many has been helpful in c.orrelating the de posits. The specimens, from DeLeon Springs which I have placed under Rontin i'latyura show a gradation toward E. vatriabilis MacNeil. It has h.een pointed out by me in a previous'_ study of the Caloosahatchcc mad :of eastern Florida that its faunal affinities are as close if not closer to the Waccamaw formation of the Carolinas than to the typical Caloosahatchee marl. The specimen which Dall figured Sb under the name "Area (Noetia.) lim . ula Conrad'' was obtained at some horizon, perhaps the Turr-itella-bearing bed, along the Ca1oosahatchee River. This specimen probably should be ref erred to another s'pecies or species. A similar form occurs in the lower part of the exposures in Volusia County.

J8 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY-IlUf.LETIN EIGHTEEN The faunas at station 14196, Lake Monroe, and station 14192, Bufralo Bluff, wHI be considered together, as they are believed to represent nearly the satl"te zone .. The f:wna at Buffalo Bluff suggests, however, that it might have lived at a little earlier time. About 31 species of mollusks have been collected from these two localities. On the basis of .the fossils, the writer previously 711 referred them to tht! late Pliocene or early Pleistocene. The fauna is now referred to the Pleistocene and for convenience is designated the "bed at Sanford." The fauna at station 14196 is as typical. The same fauua as that at station 14196 occurs in the left hank of the St. Johns River, about 5 miles northwest of San ford. It may be noted in table 4 that the fauna is represented by a few species with many individuals. No species of Turritell(l,, so far noted, is present, though the Pliocene usually has them. The following spedes in.dicate a age rather than Pliocene: Ana chis obe.m C. B. Adams, l.iontia fHm.derost.t (Say) and var., Alrina. tiyida.

Tentative correlation of Pleistocene deposits.-A tentative cor rcJation of the Pleistocene deposits diseussed in this paper is presented in table 5. The relations of some of the beds are not certainly known. For instance, the fauna near Punta Gorda (station 14160) may be younger than indicated. However, the correlations are offered as the best now available.

The new subspecies is closely allied to Pecten wendelli Tucker from the Pliocene Caloosahatchee marl at Fort Denaud and at Shell Creek, but is larger than the latter species and has more rounded rihs. The right valve of P. weudelU has sharper primary ribs', which arc usually intercalated with a finer rib, whereas the left valve usually has three instead of two weaker rihs between a stronger rih on either side. Both Pecleu wendelti and the new subspecies l. 3, fig. 111. 1938. Shell rather small, suborhicular, nearly equivalve and slightly inequilateral; posterior region more produced. Both valves with about 20 high, narrow, flat-topped, squarish ribs, s'eparated by spaces a little wider than the ribs. Ears rather large, marked by 4 to 5 faint radials. Submargins without radials.

NOTES ON UPPER TERTIARY AND PLEISTOCENE MOLLUSKS 53 Section 13927, Buckingham, Lee County; station 13928, dredged from Caloosahatchee River a half mile below Alva; station 14077, 2 miles above Olga; station 14076, 1 mile above Olga; station 4997, in place 1 mile above Catoosa. This is related to Pecten comparitis Tuomey and Holmes, a known .Miocene species , differing from the lalter in having 2 or . 3 fewer ribs and sculptured with finer concentric lamellae. It differs from P. Mansfield in having a less expanded shell and narrower and higher ribs. The new species from the Buckingham limestone at Buckingham and elsewhere, as noted ahovc, is somewhat similar• to but not identical with specimens from South Carolina that I consider typical of "Chla.mys (Plagioclcniltnr-) comparilis (Tuomey and Holmes)." Tucker-Rowland 111" designated a left valve from Buckingham, Fla., as the neoholotype of "Chlamys (Plagiocte1tium) comparilis ( Tuomey and Holmes) . " The present practice is to select a neoholotype from the original locality of the species, and it would conform more nearly with the rules of zoological nomenclature to select a specimen from South Carolina rather than from Florida. Therefore, I designate a right valve in the U. S. National Museum under the Catalogue No. 1144i from South Carolina identified by R. P. Whitfield as ((Pecten comfJariris Tuomey and Holmes." The matrix on this specimen is the same as on other fossils from ''Smiths Goos e Creek," Berkeley County, S. Car. Although no specific locality is recorded for the !:pecimen by Tuomey and Holmes it probably came from the Goose Creek locality. It agrees in detail with tlie original illustration of a right valve of Tuomey and Holmes species. PBOTEN (OHLAMYS) EBO&EVS DVOXDI'GHAl!rfENSIS Man81leld, n. aubap.

The subspecies flmidcnsis appears to be more closely related to Pecten (N odipecten) no,dosus Linnaeus than to Pecten pittieri Dall. The ribs are wider, more quadrate in section, and usually less nodose than on P. nodo.su.s, but some lcfi valves show quite strong nodes on the ribs.

Only one specimen with attached valves was collected. The matrix consists of a light-colored lime stone containing impressions of Chione ulocyma Dall. Tucker and Wilson 13n described a new species of Placunanonzia, P. aclinica, from Adine, Florida. As there are at least two different horizons of fossiliferous deposits in the vicinity of Adine, the exact horizon of their species is unknown. The plications on the figured valve of Tucker and \iVilson indicate that it is' closely related to P. plica/a Tuomey and Holmes. PODODESMUS BUBNSI Mansfield, n. sp.
