Most of these Montana agates are found in gravel deposits from the Pleistocene age (10,000 - 1,6000,000) in the area of the Yellowstone River and its tributaries. Agates are hard stones between 6.5-8 on the Mohs scale. They take an exceptional polish and are used extensively in jewelry and carvings. Agate Agate is the Mystical birthstone for the month of September From Montana, USA and the birth stone for the Zodiac sign of Gemini. See the Agate is a cryptocrystalline variety of silica, chiefly birthstone list for additional references to agates. Agate is chalcedony, characterised by its fineness of grain and brightness of color. suggested as a stone to give on the 12th and 14th wedding anniversaries.

Evidence of this ancient seabed is provided by fossilized ripple marks and salt crystal casts. These rock layers make up the park's geological foundation. The rocks were formed at a time before the development of complex animal life on earth, so only fossils formed by primitive cyanobacteria are found. Some developed into impressive cabbage-like fossils called stromatolites. The park's unusual red and green rocks are shaly siltstones called argillite. The red rocks contain oxidized iron; the green rocks contain unoxidized iron. Beige/grey/brown rocks are limestone or dolomite. A noticeable black band seen on the face of some park mountains, called the Purcell Sill, is igneous rock.

The Mazon Creek fossil beds are a conservation lagerstätte found near Morris, in Grundy County, Illinois. The fossils are preserved in ironstone concretions, formed approximately 300 million years ago in the mid-Pennsylvanian epoch of the Carboniferous period. These concretions frequently preserve both hard and soft tissues of animal and plant materials, as well as many soft-bodied organisms that do not normally fossilize. The quality, quantity and diversity of fossils in the area, known since the mid-nineteenth century, make the Mazon Creek lagerstätte important to paleontologists, in attempting to reconstruct the paleoecology of the sites - Mazon Creek Field Excursion Francis Creek Morris, Illinois May 7, 2000 Fossil Collecting – Braceville, IL, Mazon Creek Mazon Creek fossil hunting - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3jzdqZyfy8 The Kem Kem Beds (also referred to by various names including the Continental Red Beds and Continental intercalaire[2]) is a geological formation along the border between Morocco and Algeria in southeastern Morocco, whose strata date back to the Late Cretaceous.

The best known of these fossil sites comprise the Lebanese lagerstatten of the Late Cretaceous age. The paleontological sites of Lebanon contain deposits of some of the best-preserved fossils in the world, and include some species found nowhere else. The most famous of these is the Lebanese lagerstätten of the Late Cretaceous age, which contain a well-preserved variety of different fossils. Some fossils date back to the Jurassic period, and younger fossils of mammals from a different site belong to the Miocene through the Pleistocene. The fossils found in Lebanon are displayed in natural history, geology and paleontology museums around the world.

Restudy of the Cambrian–Ordovician boundary beds, traditionally assigned to the Mila Formation Member 5 in Mila- Kuh, northern Iran, for the first time provides convincing evidence of the Early Ordovician (Tremadocian) age of the uppermost part of the Mila Formation. Two succeeding trilobite assemblages typifying the Asaphellus inflatus–Dactylocephalus and Psilocephalina lubrica associations have been recognized in the uppermost part of the unit. The Tremadocian trilobite fauna of Mila-Kuh shows close similarity to contemporaneous trilobite faunas of South China down to the species level, while affinity to the Tremadocian fauna of Central Iran is low.

  • Systematic Paleontology
    Systematic paleontology Begin the systematic paleontology section with a paragraph identifying museum/collection names and acronyms. Include definitions for abbreviations or special nomenclature for morphological terms or concepts that pertain specifically to the subject matter. Examples of both required and optional subheadings for the Systematic paleontology section are provided below. The order of subheadings should follow the examples given below. Please use the subheading in the order and by name as presented in this document. Additional subheadings can be used in Systematic paleontology section as needed, but they should not replace the categories supplied here and should be placed after the standard headings provided here and prior to the Remarks subheading. The Journal of Paleontology employs Linnéan nomenclature with designated ranks. The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) must be adhered to. Follow standard practice in those fossils if it deviates from these rankings, such as with “tribe.” Phylogenetic groups determined via cladistic analysis can be used to inform supra- specific concepts but do not replace the Linnéan hierarchy. For the various forms of open nomenclature follow Bengston (1988), Palaeontology 31:223–227. It is usually better to use “sp. indet.” (species indeterminate) rather than overly derived identifications such as “n. sp. A” (new species A). Provide a taxonomic list for each organism beginning with at least the Family level, although completeness of higher taxonomic levels is encouraged. Include the family name and date of publication (separated by a comma) for each. Include each bibliographic entry in the References section.

  • Chapter 1. Introduction
    Chapter 1. Introduction 1.1. Cambrian Chronostratigraphy For over 100 years the traditional Cambrian period was subdivided into the Lower, Middle and Upper Cambrian based on the original concepts of Walcott (1889; 1890a, b) and Brøgger (1878, 1882, 1886). The three divisions were of different lengths of time and presented major problems for global correlation (Robison et al., 1977; Fletcher, 2003; Geyer, 2005 in Peng et al., 2013). The presence of a prolonged lower Cambrian (Landing, 1994, 1998; Geyer and Shergold, 2000), approximately equivalent in length of time to the traditional Middle Cambrian and Upper Cambrian combined, led to a mission by the ISCS to subdivide the Cambrian system into four parts of similar lengths of time (Landing, 1994; Palmer, 1998; Geyer and Shergold, 2000; Peng et al., 2004b; Babcock et al., 2005). The traditional Lower Cambrian was to be divided into a pre- trilobitic series and a trilobite-bearing series each to be divided into two stages. The third and fourth Cambrian series were to be based largely on the traditional Middle and Upper Cambrian, with each of these series subdivided into three stages. This proposal was ratified in 2004 by the International Subcommission of the Cambrian System (ISCS). The main objective of the ISCS is the development of an internationally applicable global chronostratigraphic scheme for the Cambrian System which can be used for stratigraphic correlation (Alvaro et al., 2013). The boundary positions or Global Standard Stratotype-section and Points (GSSPs) between these stages correspond to recognizable intercontinental horizons. To date, two Cambrian series remain to be defined – the provisionally named Series 2 and Series 3.
