This year we are excited to partner with the Paleontology on Public Lands Alliance. While the museum has hosted a conference almost every year for the last 26 years, when Georgia Knauss proposed combining the two this year, we thought it was a great idea! We hope this year’s theme, “Paleontology on Public Lands,” will be instructional as well as educational. In a world where laws and regulations continually change, it is through conferences like these that we can all remain up-to-date and knowledgeable about the resources that we work to protect. Communication is the key to being responsible stewards and in keeping with that theme, this year’s speakers will cover fossil collecting, policies, management, education, and current research that affects us here, in the Rocky Mountain West. THANK YOU This year we are doing the Tate Conference as a joint effort with the Conference on Fossil Resources. We owe a big thank you to all the organizers from that end of the spectrum. They include: Georgia Knauss Eric Scott Barbara Beasley Greg Liggett Darrin Pagnac A few other BLM folks who have Dennis Terry Dale Hanson helped along the way: Scott Foss Vince Santucci Con Trumbull Sally Shelton Bruce Schumacher Brent Breithaupt Cullen Hardy Casper College for supporting the Tate Geological Museum and the annual Tate Conference. Sarah Schneider who helped organize all sorts of in-town and on-campus logistics. Natrona County Roads and Parks for allowing us access and collecting permission to Hell’s Half Acre. Russell Hawley, as usual, for his drawings; including, the logo. And of course, all the speakers and their superiors who allowed/encouraged them to present here. Anton Wroblewski for a king donation. THE FUJITA FAMILY STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP The Fujita Family Student Scholarship helps a Casper College student attend the Tate Conference. Started in 2017 by longtime Tate supporter Lisa Fujita in memory of her husband Rich and daughter Julien. Lisa’s husband was a strong supporter of Casper College and wanted to help students whenever possible. One of his wishes was for Lisa to take on this role after his passing from cancer. Lisa got her associate degree in museum studies at Casper College and was employed at the Nicolaysen Art Museum here in Casper. She fondly remembers receiving scholarships as a student to attend museumology conferences, and wants to pass this opportunity along, and do it in honor of her family. She has chosen to provide seed money to help Casper College geology students and we hope to be able to raise a bit more money to be able to sponsor a student’s attendance for many years to come. We thank Lisa and son Sam, for providing this opportunity in memory of Rich and Julien. Thanks also to anyone who would like to help grow this fund. We need support beyond the initial seed money to keep this fund going. If any conference participants would like to contribute any amount please talk to Museums Director Patti Wood Finkle. We just might pass the hat during the keynote dinner as well. Paleontology on Public Lands 2 All events are located in the Sharon J.

  • Fossil Collecting Areas in Iowa
    FOSSIL COLLECTING AREAS IN IOWA The following list, although far from compete, includes a few of the better fossil collecting areas in Iowa. 1. Rockford, Floyd County (¼ mile south and ¼ mile west of the Rockford Brick and Tile Company pit, on county road “D”). Well preserved brachiopods, gastropods, and corals are most abundant in the yellowish shales that overlie the blue-gray beds. The fossils occurring here are known as the Hackberry fauna and have been described by C.L. and M.A. Fenton in a book entitled, “The Hackberry State of the Upper Devonian,” published by the MacMillan Company in 1924. 2. Bird Hill, Cerro Gordo County This is near the center of the north line of section 24, T 95N, R.19W, about 3½ miles west and ¼ mile south of the Rockford Brick and Tile Company Plant. The Hackberry fauna can be collected here also. 3. Elgin-Clermont area, Fayette County In the Elgin Member of the Maquoketa Formation large trilobites and both straight and coiled cephalopods are found. Fragments of trilobites are common, but whole specimens are rare. Road cuts along the new highway between Clermont and Elgin, the dry stream bed along county road “Y” east of Clermont, and the high-road cuts along the Turkey River southeast of Elgin are all good collecting sites. References for this area are: (1) Slocum, A.W., “Trilobites from the Maquoketa Beds of Fayette County, Iowa,” Iowa Geological Survey Annual Report, Volume 25; (2) Walter, O.T., “Trilobites of Iowa and some Related Paleozoic Forms,” Iowa Geological Survey Annual Report, Volume 31; (3) Ladd, H.S., “Stratigraphy and Paleontology of the Maquoketa Shale of Iowa,” Iowa Geological Survey Annual Report, Volume 34.

    56.9,725E( 1182:7) Article XXXV.- REVISION OF THE MIOCENE AND PLIO- CENE EQUII)DE OF NORTH AMERICA. BY JAMES WILLIAMs GIDLEY. With an introductory Note by Henry Fairfield Osborn. INTRODUCTORY NOTE. The American Museum collection of Horses -from the Eocene to the Pleistocene inielusive - now numbers several thousand specimens, includ- ing nearly fifty types and about as many casts of types. It is desired gradually, as opportunity permits, to make this type collection absolutely complete either through originals or casts. The first step towards a thorough understanding of the Equidse is a systematic revision of all the generic and specific names which have been proposed, and of the characters of the valid genera and species, starting with an exact study and comparison of the type specimens. As planned this is being done by co6peration of the writer, of Mr. Walter Granger of the American Museum staff, and especially of Mr. J. W. Gidley, formerly of this Museum, now of the United States National Museum, and the author of the present paper, who has made a specialty of the horse from the Oligo- cene to the' Pleistocene inclusive. The list of these revisions, as completed or in progress, is as follows: Pleistocene. Tooth Characters and Revision of the North American Species of the Genus Equus. By J. W. Gidley. Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., Vol. XIV, 1901, pp. 91-141, pll. xvii-xxi, and 27 text figures. Miocene and Pliocene. Proper Generic Names of Miocene Horses. By J. W. Gidley. Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat.

  • Unit-V Evolution of Horse
    UNIT-V EVOLUTION OF HORSE Horses (Equus) are odd-toed hooped mammals belong- ing to the order Perissodactyla. Horse evolution is a straight line evolution and is a suitable example for orthogenesis. It started from Eocene period. The entire evolutionary sequence of horse history is recorded in North America. " Place of Origin The place of origin of horse is North America. From here, horses migrated to Europe and Asia. By the end of Pleis- tocene period, horses became extinct in the motherland (N. America). The horses now living in N. America are the de- scendants of migrants from other continents. Time of Origin The horse evolution started some 58 million years ago, m the beginning of Eocene period of Coenozoic era. The modem horse Equus originated in Pleistocene period about 2 million years ago. Evolutionary Trends The fossils of horses that lived in different periods, show that the body parts exhibited progressive changes towards a particular direction. These directional changes are called evo- lutionary trends. The evolutionary trends of horse evolution are summarized below: 1. Increase in size. 2. Increase in the length of limbs. 3. Increase in the length of the neck. 4. Increase in the length of preorbital region (face). 5. Increase in the length and size of III digit. 6. Increase in the size and complexity of brain. 7. Molarization of premolars. Olfactory bulb Hyracotherium Mesohippus Equus Fig.: Evolution of brain in horse. 8. Development of high crowns in premolars and molars. 9. Change of plantigrade gait to unguligrade gait. 10. Formation of diastema. 11. Disappearance of lateral digits.

Alameda Parkway, Lakewood, CO 80225, [email protected] Abstract—The National Park Service Paleontology Program maintains an extensive collection of digital and hard copy documents, publications, photographs and other archives associated with the paleontological resources documented in 268 parks. The organization and preservation of the NPS paleontology archives has been the focus of intensive data management activities by a small and dedicated team of NPS staff. The data preservation strategy complemented the NPS servicewide inventories for paleontological resources. The first phase of the data management, referred to as the NPS Paleontology Synthesis Project, compiled servicewide paleontological resource data pertaining to geologic time, taxonomy, museum repositories, holotype fossil specimens, and numerous other topics. In 2015, the second phase of data management was implemented with the creation and organization of a multi-faceted digital data system known as the NPS Paleontology Archives and NPS Paleontology Library. Two components of the NPS Paleontology Archives were designed for the preservation of both park specific and servicewide paleontological resource archives and data. A third component, the NPS Paleontology Library, is a repository for electronic copies of geology and paleontology publications, reports, and other media.

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 2007 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks. Copyright Information Publications of the New Mexico Geological Society, printed and electronic, are protected by the copyright laws of the United States.
