Stratigraphy of the Hanna Basin, Wyoming
C.F. Bowen
1918, Professional Paper 108-L
Carbon County, Wyo., has attracted the attention of geologists since the days of the territorial surveys under King, Hayden, and Powell.

The Pliocene history of northern and central Mississippi
E.W. Shaw
1918, Professional Paper 108-H
The record of Pliocene time in northern and central Mississippi is generally assumed to be scant or lacking.
