  • Attachment J Assessment of Existing Paleontologic Data Along with Field Survey Results for the Jonah Field
    Attachment J Assessment of Existing Paleontologic Data Along with Field Survey Results for the Jonah Field June 12, 2007 ABSTRACT This is compilation of a technical analysis of existing paleontological data and a limited, selective paleontological field survey of the geologic bedrock formations that will be impacted on Federal lands by construction associated with energy development in the Jonah Field, Sublette County, Wyoming. The field survey was done on approximately 20% of the field, primarily where good bedrock was exposed or where there were existing, debris piles from recent construction. Some potentially rich areas were inaccessible due to biological restrictions. Heavily vegetated areas were not examined. All locality data are compiled in the separate confidential appendix D. Uinta Paleontological Associates Inc. was contracted to do this work through EnCana Oil & Gas Inc. In addition BP and Ultra Resources are partners in this project as they also have holdings in the Jonah Field. For this project, we reviewed a variety of geologic maps for the area (approximately 47 sections); none of maps have a scale better than 1:100,000. The Wyoming 1:500,000 geology map (Love and Christiansen, 1985) reveals two Eocene geologic formations with four members mapped within or near the Jonah Field (Wasatch – Alkali Creek and Main Body; Green River – Laney and Wilkins Peak members). In addition, Winterfeld’s 1997 paleontology report for the proposed Jonah Field II Project was reviewed carefully. After considerable review of the literature and museum data, it became obvious that the portion of the mapped Alkali Creek Member in the Jonah Field is probably misinterpreted.

  • Cranial Anatomy of the Earliest Marsupials and the Origin of Opossums
    Cranial Anatomy of the Earliest Marsupials and the Origin of Opossums Ine´s Horovitz1*, Thomas Martin2, Jonathan Bloch3, Sandrine Ladeve`ze4¤, Cornelia Kurz5, Marcelo R. Sa´nchez-Villagra4* 1 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, United States of America, 2 Steinmann-Institut fu¨r Geologie, Mineralogie und Pala¨ontologie, Universita¨t Bonn, Bonn, Germany, 3 Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, United States of America, 4 Palaeontologisches Institut und Museum, Zu¨rich, Switzerland, 5 Naturkundemuseum im Ottoneum Kassel, Kassel, Germany Abstract Background: The early evolution of living marsupials is poorly understood in part because the early offshoots of this group are known almost exclusively from jaws and teeth. Filling this gap is essential for a better understanding of the phylogenetic relationships among living marsupials, the biogeographic pathways that led to their current distribution as well as the successive evolutionary steps that led to their current diversity, habits and various specializations that distinguish them from placental mammals. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here we report the first skull of a 55 million year old peradectid marsupial from the early Eocene of North America and exceptionally preserved skeletons of an Oligocene herpetotheriid, both representing critical groups to understand early marsupial evolution. A comprehensive phylogenetic cladistic analysis of Marsupialia including the new findings and close relatives of marsupials show that peradectids are the sister group of living opossums and herpetotheriids are the sister group of all living marsupials. Conclusions/Significance: The results imply that North America played an important role in early Cenozoic marsupial evolutionary history and may have even been the center of origin of living marsupials and opossums.

  • Mammalia: Metatheria) from the Early Paleocene (Torrejonian) Nacimiento Formation, San Juan Basin, New Mexico, USA
    Palaeontologia Electronica http://palaeo-electronica.org New species of Peradectes and Swaindelphys (Mammalia: Metatheria) from the Early Paleocene (Torrejonian) Nacimiento Formation, San Juan Basin, New Mexico, USA Thomas E. Williamson and Louis H. Taylor ABSTRACT Three new metatherian taxa are reported from the early Paleocene (Torrejonian) of the Nacimiento Formation, San Juan Basin, New Mexico; two new species of Swain- delphys, S. encinensis and S. johansoni, and one new species of Peradectes, P. coprexeches. Most of the new specimens consist of isolated teeth. Both new species of Swaindelphys are larger than S. cifellii, previously the only reported species of Swaindelphys, and the first report of this genus outside of Wyoming. S. johansoni is approximately intermediate in size between S. encinensis and S. cifellii. P. coprex- eches is nearly the same size as P. elegans, but differs in the more buccally expanded and convex outline of the upper molar metastylar lobe, and relatively larger stylar cusp C. This provides new information on early Paleocene metatherian morphology and significantly increases their known diversity. New significant morphology reported here includes that of a dP3 not previously reported for early Paleocene metatherians. More- over, this study helps to clarify taxonomic issues related to the validity of other Paleo- cene metatherians and is relevant to the origins and morphology of basal Herpetotheriidae and Peradectidae.

  • Primates, Adapiformes) Skull from the Uintan (Middle Eocene) of San Diego County, California
    AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY 98:447-470 (1995 New Notharctine (Primates, Adapiformes) Skull From the Uintan (Middle Eocene) of San Diego County, California GREGG F. GUNNELL Museum of Paleontology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 481 09-1079 KEY WORDS Californian primates, Cranial morphology, Haplorhine-strepsirhine dichotomy ABSTRACT A new genus and species of notharctine primate, Hespero- lemur actius, is described from Uintan (middle Eocene) aged rocks of San Diego County, California. Hesperolemur differs from all previously described adapiforms in having the anterior third of the ectotympanic anulus fused to the internal lateral wall of the auditory bulla. In this feature Hesperolemur superficially resembles extant cheirogaleids. Hesperolemur also differs from previously known adapiforms in lacking bony canals that transmit the inter- nal carotid artery through the tympanic cavity. Hesperolemur, like the later occurring North American cercamoniine Mahgarita steuensi, appears to have lacked a stapedial artery. Evidence from newly discovered skulls ofNotharctus and Smilodectes, along with Hesperolemur, Mahgarita, and Adapis, indicates that the tympanic arterial circulatory pattern of these adapiforms is charac- terized by stapedial arteries that are smaller than promontory arteries, a feature shared with extant tarsiers and anthropoids and one of the character- istics often used to support the existence of a haplorhine-strepsirhine dichot- omy among extant primates. The existence of such a dichotomy among Eocene primates is not supported by any compelling evidence. Hesperolemur is the latest occurring notharctine primate known from North America and is the only notharctine represented among a relatively diverse primate fauna from southern California. The coastal lowlands of southern California presumably served as a refuge area for primates during the middle and later Eocene as climates deteriorated in the continental interior.
