Map showing fossil localities of the Rattlesnake Creek, western and eastern Hayfork, and North Fork Terranes of the Klamath Mountains

“…Diller of the U.S. Geological Survey in the company of T.W. Stanton and James Storrs in 1902 (see Diller, 1903). These collections augmented a few earlier collections by Diller and Storrs.…”

“…and ammonites that were originally thought to be Devonian in age: A Devonian age for the Chaetetids now seems doubtful, and the ammonites are now known to be Triassic in age (Silberling and Irwin, 1962). These fossils were from discontinuous bodies of limestone in the Rattlesnake Creek terrane that were referred to by Diller (1903) as the "southwestern Devonian belt". Discontinuous limestone bodies in the Eastern Hayfork and North Fork terranes, east of the socalled "southwestern Devonian belt", yielded late Paleozoic fossils and were referred to by Diller (1903) as the "southwestern Carboniferous belt".…”

“…This locality is near Diller's "Three Forks Creek" locality where the presence of Chaetetes and a Cyathophyllum-like coral was reported (Diller, 1903). [Ref.…”

“…Girty, who reported (in Diller, 1903) the presence of wide variety of forms he considered Carboniferous, including brachiopods, corals, bryozoans, and an ammonite (Stacheoceras n sp). The ammonite was considered by J.P. Smith to be probably Permian in age (Diller, 1903). Miller and others (1957) re-examined the ammonite, named it Stacheoceras gordoni M., F., & C., n.…”

Geology and ground-water features of the Eureka area, Humboldt County, California

“…A. C. Lawson (1894) first noted the general features of the area; and since then, reports by Diller (1903), Harmon (1914), Stalder (1914), Averill (1941), and MacGinitie (1942) have been published, most of which emphasize mineral and petroleum occurrences. The geology of the Eel River valley area, including a brief section on water resources, has been discussed in great detail by Ogle (1951, California Univ.…”
