Excerpt from Bulletins of American Paleontology, 1945-46, Vol. 29
In 1934 Dr. Katherine Van Winkle Palmer made collections at Bowden for Mollusca and she has generously sent me for ex amination two large samples of the marly matrix. In addition, the Paleontological Research Institution of Ithaca, New York, has sent two small samples of matrix from other collections of mol lusks from Bowden, one by Dr. A. A. Olsson in 1923 (p. R. I. Sta. No. 574) and the other by Dr. C. Rappenecker in 1933 (p. R. 1. Sta. No. In 1940 Dr. H. D. Hedberg made a col lection at Bowden and also generously shared the sample.
Careful examination of these four samples has yielded 171 species and varieties.
The samples collected by Olsson and Rappenecker were de scribed simply as coming from Bowden. Dr. Hedberg's sample is labelled type locality of the Bowden formation. The two large samples from the Bowden formation collected by Dr. Palm er were described as follows.
