“…As the rates of reaction vary widely for different organic structures, it is possible that some of these may have been more effective reducing agents than either the methane or the oil. For example, glucose and other carbohydrates occur in Devonian sediments (Swain and Rogers, 1966), and solid calcium oxalate, whewellite, is known to occur with fluorite, calcite, dolomite, ankerite, barite, marcasite, quartz, and sphalerite in concretions in Paleozoic sediments (Hyde and Landy, 1966). A basic problem in investigating such a possibility-in addition to the severe analytical difficulties (Hare, 1965) -is that the most effective reductants would be the very ones to be eliminated first from the solutions before trapping.…”

“…Cooper and others (1942) and Dutro (1981) placed the Onondaga at the top of the Onesquethaw Stage ( Figure 3A) with the Esopus and Schoharie formations below. The Tioga Bentonite, a volcanic ash layer (Swain and Rogers, 1966), was used to separate the Onesquethaw from the overlying Hamilton Formation (Dennison, 1961). In contrast, Schuchert (1943) used the term Ulsterian to embrace the Esopus, Schoharie, and Onondaga formations.…”

“…The shift resulted in the deposition of thin sediments throughout the Eifelian of central New York, i.e., the basin center was starved of sediments (Wolosz and Paquette, 1988). The basin deepened further into Pennsylvania and West Virginia (Swain and Rogers, 1966).…”

to determine the units from which the fish specimens originally came. This method allowed reasonable inference into the provenance of the museum specimens. The stratigraphy indicates that the seas of New York and Ohio were deepening throughout the Eifelian, terminating in the dark shale beds of the Givetian stage. The rock units of both areas are characterized by a series of aggradations and inundation events. Of the 41 taxa of fish originally found in the two museums, only nine are considered valid as a result of this study. Macropetalichthys sullivanti was a benthic dweller found in the deeper units of the upper Moorehouse and Seneca members of the Onondaga Formation and the Delaware Limestone as well as the shallower units of the upper Columbus. M. rapheidolabis is considered a junior synonym of M. sullivanti. Palaeomylus and Ptyctodus were both durophagous fishes that probably stayed near the bottom of the sea. Ptyctodus was found only in the upper Moorehouse, but Palaeomylus was found in the upper Columbus, Delaware and the upper Moorehouse. Rhynchodus was found in the same units, but was a predator with shearing dentition. Deinodus bennetti was a common element of the upper Moorehouse and was a ptyctodont. It is likely, based on dental elements in the Buffalo Museum of Science, that D. bennetti was durophagous. Deinodus ohioensis, n. sp., a shallow water fish very similar to D. bennetti is formally described. Little can be theorized about its feeding strategy because most of the dental elements studied were imbedded in matrix. Onychodus and Machaeracanthus were large, mobile predators that moved in and out of deeper waters, perhaps into shallow waters to feed. Both possess large tooth whorls and elongate jaws. Machaeracanthus is formally placed in the family, Ischnacanthidae, based on these whorls and Machaeracanthus major is considered a junior synonym of M. peracutus.
