The Kansas University Science Bulletin, Vol. I, No. 6, September 1902

A scientific publication released in the early 20th century. This volume primarily focuses on paleontological studies, presenting new findings related to fossils discovered in Kansas, particularly from the upper Carboniferous period. It reflects the growing interest and advancements in the field of geology and paleontology during this time. The bulletin comprises two main articles authored by J. W. Beede. The first article discusses newly discovered fossils, including a notable species, ''Ceriocrinus harshbargeri'', detailing its physical characteristics and the conditions of its discovery. The second article examines variations in the brachial framework of the brachiopod ''Seminula argentia'', showcasing a range of forms and their implications for the understanding of individual variation within species. Overall, the bulletin is significant for its contributions to the understanding of Kansas' fossil record and the evolutionary processes reflected in these ancient organisms.
