Book Description
The Hamilton group of New York State has been considered one of the classic Middle Devonian sections of the world since the early work of James Hall with the New York Survey. The Hamilton fauna is noted for its diversity and excellent preservation. The bryozoan element of the fauna includes representatives of all four Paleozoic orders and is especially distinguished by the common occurrence of essentially complete individual zoaria. With this knowledge in mind an investigation of the Trepostomata of the Hamilton group was undertaken. The purpose of the study is to review and re-evaluate the morphology and its bearing on taxonomy and also to describe the fauna and investigate its possible stratigraphic application.
