MATURA The geographic location of the Matura shell bed is shown in Text-figure 4. The type locality of the Matura Sand and Clay Mem- ber of the Talparo Formation (Kugler MS) is made up of a num- ber of slipped blocks situated on the coast south of Matura Bay. These blocks consist of highly limonitic, brown coquina with in- tercalations of clay and silt. For the greatest part the shells are worn by wave action. According to Kugler (MS) the Matura beds un- conformably overlap the Melajo beds. All the collections from the Matura shell bed (K 10924, JS 67, RR 230, PJ 302, USGS 18204, USGS 19860) have been taken from these blocks. COMPOSITION OF THE FAUNAS A total of 325 species is considered in this report. The number of species in the three classes is as follows: Scaphopoda 4.
