SUMMARY
There has been no previous literature published on the
foraminifera of what has been called the Santa Barbara form­
ation of Packard’s Hill, Santa Barbara, California, although
in 1903 Ralph Arnold collected megafossils along the south­
eastern slope of the hill.
The material upon which this the­
sis is based, was collected from the same locality (see map),
about one half mile northwest of the yacht harbor.
To date,
the writer has identified one hundred and sixty-eight differ­
ent species, some only varieties.
Three species, Triloculina
tiejiensis. Pyrgoella sp., and Cibicides sp. 3, were found
which had been described by Barnes in 1938 as new species
from Timms Point.
Six specimens have been termed new species
and twenty-nine varieties have been numbered, some of which
may be new species.
In comparisons with lists of foraminifera
from Timms Point (Rankin and Laiming), Timms Point (Barnes),
Bath House Beach (Rankin), Hilltop Quarry (Tash), San Diego
(Rankin), and Upper Pico (Artusy) formations, it is found that
the Packard’s Hill list resembles most closely the Timms Point
(Barnes) list.
With the evidence gathered and presented, the
writer believes the Packard’s Hill beds to be of the same
horizon as or slightly below the Timms Point formation, but
that they may not be definitely termed Lower Pleistocene.
In­
dividual slides for each species and variety are being filed
z
with the Geology Department of the University of Southern
California.
The Foraminifera of the Formation
Represented at Packardfs Hill, at Santa Barbara,
Santa Barbara County, California
INTRODUCTION
General Purpose:
The general purpose of this study is not to make cor­
relations, although some such conclusions are drawn, but to
present a detailed survey of the foraminifera contained in
what has been called by Arnold
the Santa Barbara formation
at Packard*s Hill, Santa Barbara, California*
The list of
foraminifera, as given, is a representative fauna of the en­
tire exposure on Packard’s Hill, as seen in samples taken from
different levels throughout the formation.
The work was begun
in February, 1938, and completed in December, 1939.
The field
work was carried on during the summer months; preliminary
research on literature and associated formations was done in
the spring of 1938.
The final work, including the comparison
of the Packard*s Hill list of foraminifera with six other re­
lated lists of foraminifera in southern California, was com­
pleted in November, 1939, at the University of Southern
California.

Marine Pliocene and Pleistocene of San Pedro, California,"

Although foraminifera were abundant in the samples,
they were far outnumbered by large bryozoans.
Pelecypods,
ostracods, small gastropods, and sponge spicules also were
abundant.
There was insufficient time to study these other
forms, although some gastropods, sponge spicules, and ostra­
cods were examined.
Locality:
The area studied is located in the southwest corner of
the Santa Barbara Quadrangle, Santa Barbara County, California,
approximately one half mile from the Pacific Ocean (see map).
Packard's Hill (the present Diblee Hill) lies to the southwest
of the city proper, directly north of the yacht basin.
It is
a ridge about three hundred feet high which runs due north for
nearly a mile.
The section examined, on the southern slope,
extends from the top of the hill downward for about one hun­
dred and fifty feet, where it is lost beneath a landslide and
paved roads.
Ralph Arnold,**" in the geologic map of his Fer­
nando (including Santa Barbara) formation indicates that it
extends down to the cliffs and includes the so-called Bath
House Beach formation.
This much-discussed question, as to
the extent of the formation, has yet to be answered.

Ralph Arnold, "Geology and Oil Resources of the Summerland Oil District, Santa Barbara County, California,"
United States Geological SurveyrBulletin, 321, 1907, p. 77.
Goudkoff, consulting micropaleontologist of Los Angeles, believes the two sections to he the same formation.
The out­
crops from which the writer’s samples were taken were along
the southeast ridge of Packard's Hill, which is almost pre­
cipitous.
The rocks consist of fine fossiliferous sandy marl,
sandstone, and sandy shales dipping slightly west of south at
angles varying from fifteen to forty-five degrees.
On the
side of the hill facing the ocean, the section consists large­
ly of hryozoan marl and sandstone.
Where the bryozoans are
present in greatest numbers, they form hard protruding shelves
This is also true of the Bath House Beach material.
General Information:
The samples collected were taken at intervals of approx
imately fifteen feet stratigraphically, except for one jump of
sixty-five feet due to a landslide.
The samples were placed
in individual containers and labeled in the field, according
to their relative depth from the top of the hill.
The samples
were washed and dried in the sun and passed through a coarse
(No. 8) screen to remove the large bryozoans and pelecypods
and then through a fine mesh (No. 120} screen to remove the
fine dust and sand.
The remaining material was separated in­
to two samples to simplify picking out the different sizes of

foraminifera.
Each station was worked separately, and individual
slides for the representative species from each station were
used.
Another set of slides containing the entire fauna of
foraminifera in the whole formation represented at Packard's
Hill, with individual slides for species and varieties, has
been filed with the Department of Geology of the University
of Southern California.
The general taxonomy was determined through the use of
literature on Miocene, Pliocene, Pleistocene, and Kecent for­
aminifera. The collection of Timms Point foraminifera made
by Barnes4 and the White 5 collection belonging to the Depart­
ment of Geology were of the utmost assistance in classifying
the Packard's Hill material.
The list of foraminifera from
the beds at Packard's Hill was compared with six other lists
of foraminifera from associated formations in order to deter­
mine the age and relative position of the Packard's Hill beds.

Historical Review:
fhere has been no previous literature published on the
foraminifera of the beds of Packard*s Hill, called by Arnold
the "Santa Barbara formation."
In 1903, Arnold described the
megafossils of Packard’s Hill and their relation to the Bath
c.
House Beach beds.
At that time he considered
the latter
strata to be Pliocene in age.
In 1907, he published a report
7
on the geology of the Summerland District, in which the Packg

Marine Pliocene and Pleistocene of San Pedro, California,"

States Geological Survey.Bulletin. 321, 1907, p. 121.
ard*s Hill deposits were discussed and their relative age
suggested as Upper Pliocene or Lower Pleistocene, but in this
latter report Arnold again used the megafossils as the basis
of correlation*
not used*
At this time the name "Santa Barbara" was
Phe Pleistocene-Pliocene-Miocene beds of the Santa
Barbara area, in general, were called "Pernando."
Since then
the name "Santa Barbara," for beds in another type locality
lying ;just below the Las Posas formation, itself Pleistocene,
has come into use by the oil companies and private geologists
Q
Reed,
refers to the San Pedro (Pleistocene) beds of
the Los Angeles basin as San Pedro or Santa Barbara, and as
containing shallow water foraminifera*
He also, however,
lists a Pliocene correlation of Ventura County by B. L. Clark
in which he calls Santa Barbara, in general, the equivalent
of Upper Pliocene.
In a later work, Keed*^ mentions briefly the Packard*s
Hill beds in general, but no comment is made in regard to
their age.

GENERAL DISCUSSION
Comparisons:
Contained in the paper on the foraminifera of Timms
Point and DeadmanTs Island by Rankin and laiming
is a list
of one hundred and eighty-nine different species*
The species
are numbered but unnamed, such as, Cibicides. SO species*
The list of foraminifera from Packard*s Hill consists of one
hundred and sixty-eight species*
The writer herein lists
seventeen genera not found by Rankin and Laiming, and they
list thirteen genera not found by the writer (see chart of
comparisons)*
All of the largely diagnostic forms however,
such as the large Cassidulinas and Quinqueloculinas and the
smaller Globigerinas and Nonions were found by the writer*
An accurate comparison can not be made due to the absence of
specific names in the Rankin and Laiming list; however, a sim­
ilarity may be noted in the number of species under represent­
ative genera.
Since Rankin and Laiming*s paper was written,
many of the names of genera have been changed, which is the
chief reason for the noted difference in the two Timms Point
lists of foraminifera*
X1W. D. Rankin and W. B* Laiming, "The Foraminifera of
Timms Point and Deadman*s Island, San Pedro, California,"
Unpublished Research Report, U.S.C*, 1929, p. II.
28
Barnes,
12
in his list of foraminifera from Timms Point
at San Pedro, California, names one hundred and fifty-five
species, which includes forty-nine species not found by the
writer (see chart),
The writer lists eighty-two species not
found by Barnes; however, fifty-seven of these are varieties,
new species, or unidentified species.
Both the Timms Point
and the Packard*s Hill beds show a preponderance of foramin­
ifera from the Cassidulinidae. Anomalinidae. and Miliolidae
families.
Also, Barnes* list contains seventy-one species
found by the writer,
These are the most outstanding and sig­
nificant figures in any of the comparisons made in this paper.
Rankin,
13
in his list of foraminifera from Bath House
Beach, Santa Barbara, California, names thirty-two species,
which is probably not a complete representation of the micro­
fauna.
However, contained in this list is a fauna similar to
that of Packard’s Hill,
The Bath House Beach list includes
seventeen species found and fifteen species not found in the
Packard’s Hill list,
The difference between the Bath House
Beach and Packard’s Hill faunas is no greater than any of the
12

San Pedro, California,” Unpublished Thesis, U.S.C., 1938, pp.
6-25.

House Beach, Santa Barbara County, California," Unpublished
Thesis, U.S.C., 1932, pp. 1-2.

variations in the faunas of the different horizons in the
Packard's Hill beds,
Ehe writer believes the Bath House Beach
beds to belong to the same formation as the Packard's Hill
beds, but to be stratigraphically higher in the formation.
In his list of foraminifera from the Hilltop Quarry,
14
fash lists, in Part 2, one hundred and three species, fortyone of which are included in the Packard's Hill list.
From
the lists of foraminifera from Hilltop Quarry and fimms Point,
the fact is clear that they contain practically the same spe­
cies and number of species but in different abundance and se­
quence (see chart),
fhey have not been correlated, although
there are striking similarities evident.
In Hankin's list of foraminifera from the San Diego 15
formation there is a total of thirty-two species, only eight
of which are found in the Packard's Hill list.
Ehis brief
comparison was included to show how remotely the two lists of
foraminifera compare with one another.
In comparing the Packard's Hill foraminifera with the

San Pedro, California," Unpublished Hesearch Heport, U.S.C.,

Formation," Unpublished Hesearch Heport, U.S.C., 1930.
30
Upper Pico fauna of Ventura County,
16
it is found that the
two lists have sixty-one common species.
Phis may appear sig­
nificant, hut whereas in the Packard’s Hill list, species
are numerous in the genera Cibicides, Discorbis, Globorotalia,
Nonion, and Polymorphina, they are lacking in the Upper Pico
list (see chart).
Relative Age and Conclusions;
Phe fossiliferous beds on Packard’s Hill are certainly
of marine origin, and are known to represent horizons in the
body of the formation,
Phe eight samples that were studied
in the preparation of this report show considerable variation
in their representative faunas, the greatest difference being
found between the uppermost and the lowermost samples.
In his reference to the mollusca of the Packard’s Hill
deposits, which he terms "Santa Barbara,” Arnold mentions that
there is an abundant marine fauna representing two horizons,
and draws the following conclusions:
"Phe fauna of the Packard’s Hill deposits is similar to
that of the upper horizon of the San Diego formation, 7 and is
probably equivalent to that part of the Pliocene which is miss­
ing between Headman’s Island Pliocene and the overlying lower
1A

Pico Formation of Ventura County, California," Unpublished Phesis, U.S.C., 1938.

San Pedro Series (Pleistocene). The close relation between
Pecten bellus Conrad found in the Packard1s Hill Pliocene and
Pecten hemphilli Pall of the upper horizon in the San Piego
formation is an indication o£8a more or less close relation
between the two formations."
The name "Santa Barbara formation" is defined as either
Upper Pliocene or Lower Pleistocene in age, based on megafos­
sils by Waterfall and others.
However, this name was not de­
rived from the fossils of Packard*s Hill.
Throughout the literature on the Southern California
Tertiary, the "Santa Barbara formation" has been termed alter­
nately Upper Pliocene and Lower Pleistocene, but in recent
years the general consensus of opinion has been to classify
it as Lower Pleistocene.
Since Arnold writes that the fauna (megafossils) of the
Packard*s Hill deposits is similar to that of the upper hori­
zons of the San Piego formation and the present writer*s Pack­
ard *s Hill micro-fauna is not similar enough to the micro­
fauna of the San Piego formation to warrant close relation,
then the present writer can not assume the Packard’s Hill de­
posits to be of the Santa Barbara formation merely on the mega
fossil correlation with known Santa Barbara beds, made also by
Tft
Kalph Arnold, "The Paleontology and Stratigraphy of
the Marine Pliocene and Pleistocene of San Pedro, California,"

Arnold.
There is a noted similarity between the lists of foram­
inifera from Hilltop quarry and Upper Pico formations in cer­
tain species and number of species in certain genera.
There
is an even closer similarity between the lists of foraminifera
from Barnes' Timms Point and Hilltop quarry.
These two form­
ations may safely be referred to as belonging to the same age
(Upper Pliocene -- Lower Pleistocene).
It is evident that the list of foraminifera from the
beds at Packard's Hill corresponds most closely to the list
from Timms Point (Barnes) in: (1) faunal assemblage, (2 ) in­
dividual species, and (3) predominance of certain forms.
How­
ever, with the close relation between the Timms Point, Hill­
top Quarry, and Upper Pico formations it is impossible to come
to a very definite conclusion.
It is the writer's opinion, that the beds of Packard's
Hill are closer to being Lower Pleistocene than Upper Pliocene,
but there is not sufficient evidence to call it definitely
Lower Pleistocene.
