Title: New Pleistocene Marine Fossil Locality in Chambers County, Texas: ABSTRACT

Author(s): William R. Pampe

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

A well-preserved marine invertebrate fauna of late Pleistocene age represented by 48 species has been found in Ingleside barrier island, southeastern Texas.

End_Page 1697------------------------------

The fauna is similar to the Holocene fauna of the Texas Gulf Coast. Most of the species suggest deposition in a rather low salinity bay or inlet environment, but the entire fauna indicates changing environmental conditions.
