One burgeoning area has been the integration of archaeological and fossil data to evaluate the long-term structure and function of habitats, floral and faunal communities, and ecosystems. Here, marine invertebrate data from Holocene archaeological sites and Pleistocene marine terrace deposits on California's Northern Channel Islands are combined to glean insights into the long-term structure of nearshore marine ecosystems, the composition of intertidal marine invertebrate communities, and the formation of archaeological shell middens. While a variety of methodological, analytical, and taphonomic challenges in comparing disparate datasets from fossil and archaeological contexts were identified, we offer perspectives for surmounting these challenges in future research. These findings indicate that the integration of fossil and archaeological data, spanning tens of thousands of years, offers important insights on the evolution of nearshore coastal ecosystems and marine climate change in California and around the world.

Areas with low uplift rates can test whether such models are valid. Marine terraces on Santa Cruz Island have previously been reported to occur at low (

Stephenson (1937: 60) demonstrated that P. americana is a boring bivalve. Ptiloteuthis Gabb, 1869b: 128. Type ...

It began with James (Jim) Hamilton McLean’s dissertation, commenced in the early 1960’s and completed in 1966. Right from the beginning, Jim wanted to revise the entire gastropod fauna of the northeast Pacific. This initial dissertation proposal was tempered in scope by the experience of his advisor, none other than A. Myra Keen at Stanford University. The finished dissertation on the patelliform archaeogastropods and the abalone and scissurellids was the first component and catalyst for his life-long endeavor to complete a comprehensive faunal treatment that would be colloquially known as The Book.

McLean Mollusk Collection of the LACM Malacology Department is one of the largest recent mollusk collections in North America and the world … and is the largest of its kind on the Pacific Rim. The collection is predominantly dry material with lesser amounts of wet preserved specimens and includes material from all molluscan classes. It is worldwide in scope with an emphasis on the eastern Pacific Ocean (arctic Alaska to southern Chile) and includes an estimated 500,000 lots containing approximately 4.5 million specimens. Over 120,000 lots have been electronically captured, which includes over 2,300 type lots. Renowned acquired collections include those from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Alan Hancock Foundation at the University of Southern California (USC).

The earliest record of the genus Haliotis is here documented from Late Cretaceous (middle middle to late middle Campanian) strata of the Tuna Canyon Formation, Garapito Creek area of Topanga Canyon, Santa Monica Mountains, Los Angeles County, California. This additional Cretaceous record for Haliotis could possibly indicate a North American origin for the family Haliotidae.

New species of Zonaria s.s. and Z. (Pseudozonaria) are described from the lower Pliocene Esmeraldas beds of the Onzole Formation. These new species and Jenneria (Jenneria) panamensis (Olsson, 1967) are the first cypraeaceans reported from the Esmeraldas beds. The unidentified triviid is the first of its kind reported from the Neogene of Ecuador. Three previously described cypraeid species are also included in this review.

Four new species are described herein from localities in southern and northern California and British Columbia, Canada: Palaeocypraea (Palaeocypraea) wilfredi new species and Bemaya (Bernaya) jeanae new species, both from the Upper Cretaceous (lower Campanian) Chico Formation, Butte County, California; Bemaya (Bemaya) beardi new species from the Upper Cretaceous (uppermost Santonian to lowermost Campanian) upper Haslam Formation, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada; and Bemaya (Protocypraea) popenoei new species from the Upper Cretaceous (lower Campanian) Ladd Formation, Orange County, California. The late Campanian to early Maastrichtian was the Mesozoic peak of cypraeids, in terms of numbers of species and geographic distribution both in North America and worldwide (Groves, 1994). New paleogeographic and ch...
