Excerpt from The Stratigraphic Succession of the Fossil Floras of the Pottsville Formation in the Southern Anthracite Coal Field, Pennsylvania Lest the use 01 the word paleontology in this report be considered an unwarranted assumption by those who are accustomed to understanding the term as applying exclusively to animal remains, it should be explained that fossil plants in general are not only most widely distributed and frequently the only fossils in the terranes on the east side of the Appalachian trough, but also that in many of the sections, including the type section at Pottsville, no animal fossils, with the exception of Spiror bis, small, rare, crustacean fragments, and a few cockroach wings, have yet been discovered.
