Using the isotopic compositions of the sulfates, we construct a mixing model that demonstrates that isotopic mass-independence the main source of sulfate in Lake Tecopa is mass-dependent sediment-derived sulfate (MDSDS, >77%). sulfate However, ash beds still preserve up to 23% of MIVS that initially had undiluted Δ17O value around 8‰, and aerosols Δ33S as low as −0.35‰, and Δ36S up to 1.08‰.

  • A Preliminary Assessment of Paleontological Resources at Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Montana and Wyoming
    A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES AT BIGHORN CANYON NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, MONTANA AND WYOMING Vincent L. Santucci1, David Hays2, James Staebler2 And Michael Milstein3 1National Park Service, P.O. Box 592, Kemmerer, WY 83101 2Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, P.O. Box 7458, Fort Smith, MT 59035 3P.O. Box 821, Cody, WY 82414 ____________________ ABSTRACT - Paleontological resources occur throughout the Paleozoic and Mesozoic formations exposed in Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. Isolated research on specific geologic units within Bighorn Canyon has yielded data on a wide diversity of fossil forms. A comprehensive paleonotological survey has not been previously undertaken at Bighorn Canyon. Preliminary paleontologic resource data is presented in this report as an effort to establish baseline data. ____________________ INTRODUCTION ighorn Canyon National Recreation Area (BICA) consists of approximately 120,000 acres within the Bighorn Mountains of north-central Wyoming and south-central Montana B (Figure 1). The northwestern trending Bighorn Mountains consist of over 9,000 feet of sedimentary rock. The predominantly marine and near shore sedimentary units range from the Cambrian through the Lower Cretaceous. Many of these formations are extremely fossiliferous. The Bighorn Mountains were uplifted during the Laramide Orogeny beginning approximately 70 million years ago. Large volumes of sediments, rich in early Tertiary paleontological resources, were deposited in the adjoining basins. This report provides a preliminary assessment of paleontological resources identified at Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. STRATIGRAPHY The stratigraphic record at Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area extends from the Cambrian through the Cretaceous (Figure 2). The only time period during this interval that is not represented is the Silurian.
