This is the second largest family in the flora area after Asteraceae. A total of 97 taxa in 46 genera of grasses are included in this publication, which includes ones established and reproducing in the modern flora (86 taxa in 43 genera), some occurring at the margins of the flora area or no long known from the area, and ice age fossils. At least 28 taxa are known by fossils recovered from packrat middens, five of which have not been found in the modern flora: little barley ( Hordeum pusillum ), cliff muhly ( Muhlenbergia polycaulis ), Paspalum sp., mutton bluegrass ( Poa fendleriana ), and bulb panic grass ( Zuloagaea bulbosa ). Non-native grasses are represented by 27 species, or 28% of the modern grass flora.

    Steele/Burnand Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center University of California, Irvine UCI – NATURE and UC Natural Reserve System California State Parks – Colorado Desert District Anza-Borrego Desert State Park & Anza-Borrego Foundation Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Bibliography Compiled and Edited by Jim Dice (revised 1/31/2019) A gaggle of geneticists in Borrego Palm Canyon – 1975. (L-R, Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, Dr. Steve Bryant, Dr. Richard Lewontin, Dr. Steve Jones, Dr. TimEDITOR’S Prout. Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero.

  • K-Ar Geochronology and Geologic History of Southwestern Arizona and Adjacent Areas
    Arizona Geological Society Digest, Volume XII, 1980 201 K-Ar Geochronology and Geologic History of Southwestern Arizona and Adjacent Areas by 2 3 M. Shafiqullah , P.E. Damonl , D.J. Lynch l, S.J. Reynolds , WA. Rehrig , 4 and R.N. Raymond A bstract This paper presents K-Ar ages of 174 samples from 154 localities in southwestern Ari- zona and adjacent areas with a summary of the geologic history. Ages are given for many rock units that had been "dated" previously only by lithologic correlations. These ages establish the timing of the magmatic and tectonic events that created and deformed the rocks. We interpret the older Precambrian history of Arizona as the result of a long-enduring and evolving convergent continental margin with accretion to the southeast at the rate of 2 km/m.y. This process was terminated 1.4 b.y. ago by the intrusion of vast batholiths ex- tending in a northeasterly direction far beyond Arizona. Younger Precambrian rocks ac- cumulated in an epicontinental sea along the trend of the Cordilleran geosyncline. These rocks were intruded by extensive diabase sills that are best preserved in the central moun- tain region. There is no further record of Precambrian magmatism or sedimentation after intrusion of the diabase sills. Some Precambrian K-Ar dates have been reset by the thermal disturbance that accompanied these intrusions. K-Ar ages that fall within the Paleozoic are reset ages and there is no evidence for any Paleozoic magmatism in the region. K-Ar ages of most of the pre-Laramide Mesozoic igneous rocks in the region have been reset by Laramide magmatism but evidence has been found for Early to Late Jurassic magmatism.
