Excerpt from Frasnian (Upper Devonian) Rugose Corals From the Lime Creek and Shell Rock Formations of Iowa

Calvin Levorson, then postmaster of Riceville, Iowa, accompanied me in the field in the late 1960's and early 1970's, and shared with me his encyclopedic knowledge of outcrops and collecting localities, in cluding those of Charles Belauski. Donald L. Koch, then geologist (now Director) of the Iowa Geological Survey, shared his knowledge of the Shell Rock For mation, and Harrell Strimple (deceased) of the Uni versity of Iowa aided me in borrowing collections and providing me with locality information regarding the Frasnian faunas of north-central Iowa. Professors Wil liam Furnish, Brian Glenister and Gilbert Klapper of the University of Iowa all gave freely of their Wisdom and good will. Ms. Julia Golden of the University of Iowa has kindly arranged for loans of specimens from the Belauski Collection. Professor Donald B. Macurda, Jr., then of the University of Michigan, arranged for my borrowing specimens from the Fenton collections at the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontol ogy. Dr. Matthew H. Nitecki and Ms. Phyllis N. Win dle aided by arranging for loans of Fenton types from the Field Museum of Natural History. Dr. Bruce Bell made it possible for me to borrow Hall and Whitfield specimens from the New York State Museum of Nat ural History. Mr. Frederick J.
