Abstract
Vertebrate paleontologists use "local fauna" for the totality of taxa found at one or a few neighboring localities and prefix a geographic name, i.e., Garvin Gulley local fauna. If the fauna can be traced more or less continuously within a sedimentary province, the word "local" is dropped, i.e., Garvin Gulley fauna. This would be equivalent to the biostratigraphic term range zone. Type sections in stratigraphic classification should have no more significance than name bearers. They are one-dimensional samples of three-dimensional bodies of rock.Keywords
