3.) Foraminifera from the Oligo/Miocene Agua Salada Group, State of Falcon, Venezuela.

Collection to H.H. Renz (1948). Stratigraphy and fauna of the Agua Salada Group, State of Falcon, Venezuela. The Geological Society of America, Memoir 32 (1948), 219 pages. Note: Plate 12 on page 199 was compiled by C.M.B. Caudri (see private collection from C.M.B. Caudri from Venezuela). A detailed range chart of benthic foraminifera from Agua Salada group is in the back pocket of the book to H.H. Renz (1948). See also report of H.H. Renz and H.H. Suter (1939). The Pozon and El Mene de Acosta type sections of the Agua Salada Formation.

 

Collection materials:
One Tray with assemblage slides from Agua Salada Formation (Falcon, Venezuela), Slides I to V, including identification list and assemblage slide lists. One list referencing to routine numbers in N.V.P. (Northern Venezuela Petroleum Company) foraminiferal type collection. There are two range charts, the first by H.H. Renz (1946) Stratigraphic Range Chart of Foraminifera in the Eocene to Miocene of Eastern Falcon, Venezuela (bentic and planktic foraminifera), and the second, also by H.H. Renz in 1946, Range Chart of the more important (benthic) foraminifera in the Cumarebo field, State of Falco, Venezuela.

The collection encloses also two foraminiferal faunal slides (Agua Salada Formation Slide I and Agua Salada Formation II) annotated as "Topohylen und Autohylen zu H.H. Renz, 1948: Stratigraphy and fauna of the Agua Salada Group, State of Falcon, Venezuela, Geol. Soc. America, Mem 32, don. North Venezuelan Petroleum Company by H.H. Renz, 1950 [Ex wooden cabinet 223/6].

A tray with washed residues in 43 vials, labelled with Texaco catalogue numbers, and a list translating Texaco Cat. Nos into observation Nos. On list hand-written note by John Saunders "List made in PaP (Pointe-à-Pierre) and kept in copy of Mem 32". Obviously, this material and list are related to the above publication of H.H. Renz (1948).

A box with four extra samples with washed residues from Aguide cementery sea cliff, Agua Salada Group type and topo-type and type localities, Eastern Falcon, Venezuela. For lit. reference see: Cushman Contributions, vol. 5, 1929, pp. 77-101, and GSA Memoir, vol. 32 (1948).
