Middle and Upper Pennsylvanian Fusulinaceans, Gila Mountains, Arizona

Abstract
A late Paleozoic inlier on the southern flanks of the Gila Mountains contains a stratigraphic succession of Redwall Limestone, and Molas (60 feet), Horquilla (1000 feet), and Earp (60 feet), Formations. The Horquilla and Earp Formations here contain twenty-two species of Pennsylvanian fusulinaceans including two new species: Triticites gilaensis from the upper part of the Horquilla and T. arcuosoides from the Earp. A review of the taxonomic characters of middle Pennsylvanian species of Fusulininae with internal construction similar to that of Fusulinella girtyi Dunbar & condra (1927), leads to the recognition of Beedeina Galloway (1933) as a valid and useful generic taxon into which most North America species currently assigned to Fusulina are placed.
