Part II - State of New Jersey

APPENDIX BVarious groups of fossils are not included in tl~e present vol~~me.These are :PLANTS. Those of the Raritan formation \\.ere fully deseribe(1 I)yBerry (1911) and little work has been done suhseq~~ently other than acritical analysis by Dorf (1952).FORil~ITNIFERA. This group of fossils was included in the originaledition of \\Teller, the work largely being taken from Hagg(1898). The a~lrances in the fielcl of mieropi~leontology have made muchof this work obsolete and it therefore seems unlvise to reprint this seetion.Little work has been pnblishe(1 on the Cretaceous foraminifera ofNew Jersey (luring recent years. Jcnnings (1936) described somespeeies from the Cretaeeous and Eoeenc, and Cnshman (1948) describeda Cretaceous fauna from 3Iaryland inclnding species uvhieh almostcertainly occur also in New Jersey. The foraminifera of the Vincentownformi~tion, inclu~led with the Cretaceous by Weller hut nowregar~lecl as Eoeene, have been discussed by R1eLe;ln (1952,1953).BRyOZO1l. No species of Rryozoa 11ave been reported from thetrue Cretaeeous of New Jersey. The extensive fanna of the Vineentownformation, included in \\Teller's original volume, is now thought to beof Eocene age. A thorough discussion of this fauna was given by Canuand Bassler (1933).OSTRACODA. Only ;I few ostraeotles have been reported from theCretaceous of New Jersey although it is know that they occur in scvera1of the formations. Sonre ost,racodes from the Cretaeeor~s of nearbyDelaware and Maryland have l~een discussed by Schmidt (1948) andSvain (1948).I~ISII. Thc most eo~nplete ~vorlr on the fossil fish of the Cretaeeol~sand Tertiary of New Jcrscv is that of Fowler (1911). Unfortunately,many of the locality records are very vague and it is therefore difficultto correlate the fossils \vit,h exact formations. These reeords are furtl~ereomplieated by the fact t,l~athe Hornerstonn formation at that timemas regarded as Cretaceous. 3Zany of the specimens are merely referredto the greensancl of t11c "Navesink-IIornerstolvn marl."Rapp (1946) gave i~ revisc(1 check list, but again it is
