Binary presence/ absence data were compiled for all guilds at each sampled unit, and processed using four multivariate techniques in order to identity any underlying paleoecological signal. All techniques yielded a strong tr Marine paleoecology of the Eads Mill Member Hinton Formation Upend in the data interpreted to represent the salinity tolerances of the taxa within each guild, though other environmental factors such as substrate aMarine paleoecology of the Eads Mill Member Hinton Formation Up

The initial field area tour by Mitch in November. 2005 presented the overall picture of upper Hinton Formation deposition, Marine paleoecology of the Eads Mill Member Hinton Formation Upand familiarized me with the outcrops and sampling units later to be investigated. Jack’s contribution of stratigraphic section described by himself aMarine paleoecology of the Eads Mill Member Hinton Formation Up
nd Mitch was invaluable. Without the sedimentological work having already been done, this thesis would have taken significantly more time to complete.^||£WestVirginiaUniversityTHE RESEARCH REPOSITORY @ wvuGraduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports2007Marine paleoecology of the Eads Mill Mem Marine paleoecology of the Eads Mill Member Hinton Formation Upidance and instruction provided constant direction and insight which was always usefill and sometimes desperately needed. Tom Cawthem’s contribution and aide in field research, taxon identification, multivariate analysis, and every other facet of this thesis was beyond compare. Without his help, thi Marine paleoecology of the Eads Mill Member Hinton Formation Ups thesis would have been a much less enjoyable undertaking, if it would have been conducted at all.Finally, the constant love, prayer and encouragemenMarine paleoecology of the Eads Mill Member Hinton Formation Up
