Abstract:
"INTRODUCTION: This Annotated Bibliography of Indiana Geology has been prepared for the use of professional geologists, geology students, and interested laymen who may wish to learn more about the mineral resources, rocks, or fossils of the State or localities within it. In the introductory pages the authors have summarized briefly the organization and terms of the bibliography and index and have made suggestions for using the index.
The terms ""Indiana"" and ""geology"" have been liberally interpreted. The authors have accepted entries which, though not emphasizing Indiana, contain some significant mention of the geology of the State; they have included papers on large regional areas if even a part of the text was relevant as a new contribution or as a review of the literature on Indiana. Geology has been interpreted to include such fringe subjects as soils, geodetic surveys, meteorites, earthquakes, floods, and streamflow data.
The authors have attempted to include all significant references on Indiana geology between the years 1776 and 1955, but any compilation of this sort is inevitably incomplete.
Any corrections of, or additions to, this volume will be appreciated; all letters concerning this bibliography should be addressed to the Indiana Geological Survey. Theses for master's and doctoral degrees have been intered because most of them are available at the school granting the degree. Bibliographic information about theses was collected from many sources: the list of the geologic theses published by the American Petroleum Institute; lists of geologic theses published by the American Petroleum Institute; lists compiled by geology departments in many schools; and references cited in other papers.
The major source used in compiling this bibliography was the Bibliography of North American Geology published by the United States Geological Survey, but many entries were obtained from Geological Abstracts, Geophysical Abstracts, and the Annotated Bibliography of Economic Geology. Many of the common geologic publications were searched page by page for references to Indiana geology, and many references were gained from citations in other papers.
Citations in the bibliography are listed as follows: author, date of publication, title, name of publication or journal, number of pages or page numbers, number of plates, number of figures, and number of maps. If the same author published more than one work in any given year, these are alphabetized by title and marked consecutively by letters of the alphabet; for example, 1937a, 1937b...1937z, 1937aa, 1937bb. The letters ""l"" and ""o"" have been omitted because they might possibly be confused with one and zero. Brief annotations summarizing the topics discussed in the paper or the significant conclusions follow most entries. A few papers were not available to the authors; these are indicated by the remark ""not seen"".
Separate entries have been made in the bibliography for each map published separately (without text). All such maps that were published through 1956 have been included, although all other entries are limited through 1955.
In this bibliography it has not been possible to bring the usage of geologic and geographic names completely into conformity with the present format of the Indiana Geological Survey. In general, capitalization of the full name, as Hardinsburg Formation, Wyandotte Cave, or Teays Valley, indicates that the name refers to an entity that is either well understood in use or well defined in an easily available reference. Many formal names are officially recognized in one way or another, but mere capitalization does not signify correct application of the name. Informal variants of formal names are commonly used (for instance, Hardinsburg shale), and many indefinite or poorly defined features have informal names (for instance, Raccoon Creek valley)."
