Collections of Marie de Cizancourt
-
- The collections of Mme. Marie de Cizancourt contain her types
of larger foraminifera from the Caribbean region, particularly
those of Barbados, Cuba and Venezuela. Mexico is also represented
by the types of R.W. Barker. Other types are to be found in the
collections from Morocco, Afghanistan and France. Additional
foraminiferals are available from Syria, the Middle East, Madagascar,
Hungary, Turkey, and England, as well as from Haiti, Nicaragua,
Trinidad and Florida.
- A duplicate collection of the smaller foraminifera of the
collection Hermann (Strassburg, Alsace) was presented by Dr.
H. de Cizancourt.

additional literature:
- Collection of diverse orbitolines (Barremian): Washed residues,
isolated forms. Provenance: Couches à Orbitolina, Gorge
du Nart, route de Malleval (Isère), Côte de Sassenage
(Isère). [K3 / C18 / 5 / 176 ].
-
- Deposited are also various reprints [diverse countries, but
without collection] to De Cicancourt (1925, 1928, 1938b, 1948d, 1954), and De Cizancourt and Cuvillier (1954).

- Colln. Herrmann: This is
a duplicate taxonomic collection of Jurassic and Tertiary smaller
benthic foraminifera (in Fema-cells numbered from 1 through 172)
from various provenances (Hamm/Westfahlen; Paris; Lafugy; Sulz
u. Wald; etc.). A hand-written list with species determinations
is deposited alongside.
- Unfortunately, no furter information about sampling locations
or stratigraphic positions or core-depths are indicated so far.
August Herrmann (sometimes also cited as Hermann) was
engineer and and director of the former petroleum refinery in
Sulz unter Wald (today Soultz-sous-forêt, F) in Alsace
at the beginning of the 20th century, when petroleum was exploited
from the Pechelbronn beds.
-
- August Herrmann investigated Tertiary foraminifera from the
Pechelbronn area and elsewhere in the lower Alsass region. He
described several benthic foraminiferal species and is author
of several micropaleontological articles in the Mitteilungen
der Geologischen Landesanstalt Elsass-Lothringen (e.g. from 1898,
1903 amd 1916). A xerox copy to Hermann, A. (1916) is deposited with
the collection.
-
- Please note, that the above mentioned duplicate collection
of Herrmann is not directly or only partially related to his
publications, however, the collection is of historical interest
in connection with the development of petroleum exploration and
exploitation in the Alsace area during the 1920ies.
-
- Types and originals to the publications of Hermann were at
the time deposited at the "Geologische Landesanstalt Strassburg
im Elsass" (now referred to as "Carte Géologique
d'Alsace-Lorraine"). Today, the collection is curated at
the Musée
de Minéralogie, which belongs to the Ecole et Observatoire
des Sciences de la Terre of the University of Strasbourg (F).
