They first inhabited Mongolia then spread into Eurasia and North America, while in North America they preferred flood plains and woodlands.

  • A Naturalist's Guide to the Great Plains
    Paul A. Johnsgard A Naturalist’s Guide to the Great Plains Sites, Species, and Spectacles This book documents nearly 500 US and Canadian locations where wildlife refuges, na- ture preserves, and similar properties protect natural sites that lie within the North Amer- ican Great Plains, from Canada’s Prairie Provinces to the Texas-Mexico border. Information on site location, size, biological diversity, and the presence of especially rare or interest- ing flora and fauna are mentioned, as well as driving directions, mailing addresses, and phone numbers or internet addresses, as available. US federal sites include 11 national grasslands, 13 national parks, 16 national monuments, and more than 70 national wild- life refuges. State properties include nearly 100 state parks and wildlife management ar- eas. Also included are about 60 national and provincial parks, national wildlife areas, and migratory bird sanctuaries in Canada’s Prairie Provinces. Numerous public-access prop- erties owned by counties, towns, and private organizations, such as the Nature Conser- vancy, National Audubon Society, and other conservation and preservation groups, are also described. Introductory essays describe the geological and recent histories of each of the five mul- tistate and multiprovince regions recognized, along with some of the author’s personal memories of them. The 92,000-word text is supplemented with 7 maps and 31 drawings by the author and more than 700 references. Cover photo by Paul Johnsgard. Back cover drawing courtesy of David Routon.

  • Prehistoric Life in the National Parks Coloring Book
    National Park Service PREHISTORIC LIFE IN U.S. Department of the Interior THE NATIONAL PARKS COLORING BOOK PREHISTORIC LIFE IN THE NATIONAL PARKS COLORING BOOK National Park Service, Geologic Resources Division, Paleontology Program https://www.nps.gov/subjects/fossils/index.htm DEDICATION This Prehistoric Life in the National Parks Coloring Book is dedicated to Georgia Hybels, a National Park Service geographer who shared her time to foster children’s interests in fossils, caves and national parks. PRECAMBRIAN “before the Cambrian” The Precambrian Eon is part of Earth’s history. It spans from approximately 4.6 billion years ago to 541 million years ago. This section includes a Precambrian life form found in some of our national parks in the United States. Collenia symmetrica is an early fossil. It shows layers of sand trapped by tiny organisms (mostly cyanobacteria) into mounds that we call stromatolites. Stromatolites are some of the earliest and most widespread forms of early prehistoric life. Fossils of Collenia have been found at Glacier National Park, Montana. PALEOZOIC ERA “ancient animal life” The Paleozoic Era is part of Earth’s history that spans approximately 541 million years ago to 252 million years ago. This era began with an explosion of new life. New and different ocean animals lived during the Cambrian. Over time, plants and animals evolved to live in the oceans and on land. The Paleozoic ends after a large die off (extinction) of many early lifeforms at the end of the Permian. This section includes some Paleozoic life which have been found in some of our national parks in the United States.

  • Return to Wyoming 2011 Michael Hutchins
    From The Rostrum, Volume 20, Number 4, July, 2011: Return to Wyoming 2011 Michael Hutchins I have reported on my annual trips to Wyoming in previous Rostrums and this year is no exception. As has typically been the case, I met with several friends in Casper, WY from June 2-8, 2011 to attend a paleontology conference at Casper College’s Tate Museum and to collect in the region. This year’s conference was special, as it was not only the Tate Museum’s annual conference, but also that of TerQua, a society for Tertiary and Quarternary paleontological studies. This renewed scientific society had its organizational meetings at the conference and all conference attendees, including myself, were made charter members of the organization. During the conference proper, which lasted a day and a half, we listened to a wide variety of paleontological papers, ranging from evidence of stress and infection in Pleistocene mammoths and mastodons to the case for competition as a factor in the extinction of the short-faced bear, Arctodus, to the locomotor capabilities of the dire wolf from Rancho La Brea, California. Many of the presentations were excellent and contributed to my growing knowledge of paleontology. As part of the conference, we also took several field trips. The first stop was a 10,000-acre badlands site near Douglas, WY, where I have been allowed to hunt with Dr. Kent Sundell, curator at the Tate Museum, who has leased the area for both commercial and scientific collecting for nearly two decades. A smaller group of us spent an additional two days at this site after the conference ended.
