Article Abstract:
A response to Hagstrum and Murchey's criticism of the biogeographic model of Pessagno and Blome is presented. Hagstrum and Murchey stated that the biogeographic model cannot be applied reliably to paleogeographic reconstructions, such as the interpretation of the biostratigraphic sequence at Stanley Mountain. However, Hagstrum and Murchey failed to mention that the model's realms and provinces are built on multiple criteria. The potential of the model as a starting point in the construction of radiolarian paleobiogeographic models is discussed.

Estuarine circulation in the Turonian Western Interior seaway of North America: discussion and reply
Article Abstract:
Singerland et al. made a creditable study on the hydrodynamics and salinity of the Cretaceous Western Interior seaway. However, it cannot be considered the definitive study inasmuch as it merely complements other studies that come up with their own models. Singerland et al.'s work is evolutionary in character and is not one to supplant the brackish-lid model of seaway hydrography which, despite its many shortcomings, still has its adherents for want of better models.
