The Devonian of Missouri (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Devonian of Missouri

The data for the report contained in this bulletin were collected by the writer and his assistants during six field seasons. During June, July, and August of 1914, J. P. Connolly and Chester Longwell assisted in mapping and collecting; Mr. Connolly mapped during June of 1915; in June and July of 1917, several advanced students assisted in mapping and collecting; G. P. Moore and E. 0. Markham were field assistants the summer of 1918; V. W. Vandiver collected during July and August of 1919; G. P. Moore and V. W. Vandiver mapped the Devonian of Ralls County in 1919; and Roy H. Hall mapped part of Moniteau County in 1921. Mr. D. K. Greger knew the Devonian of Callaway County very thoroughly before the field work for the report was begun and helped out the investigation from his information. He collected from the Devonian of Montgomery County during June and part of July, 1914.

The topographic maps of the United States Geological Survey for the region studied are Old, half-inch scale, and fifty foot contour interval, and are entirely unsatisfactory for accurate mapping. The base finally used for most of the work was a large scale county map with contour lines supplied from the United States Geological Survey contour maps. The contours were corrected to make them fit conditions as found in the field. A two-inch scale was used for all mapping in. Boone, Callaway, Montgomery, Warren and Moniteau Counties, and the U. S. Geological Survey topographic maps were the base for the other areas.
