    Paleolimulus, an early limuline (Xiphosurida), from Pennsylvanian±Permian LagerstaÈtten of Kansas and taphonomic comparison with modern Limulus LOREN E. BABCOCK, DANIEL F. MERRIAM AND RONALD R. WEST Babcock, L.E., Merriam, D.F. & West, R.R. 2000 09 15: Paleolimulus, an early limuline (Xiphosurida), from Pennsylvanian±Permian LagerstaÈtten of Kansas and taphonomic comparison with modern Limulus. Lethaia, Vol. 33, pp. 129±141. Oslo. ISSN 0024- 1164. The Pennsylvanian±Permian horseshoe crab Paleolimulus signatus (Beecher), incorpor- ating as a junior synonym P. avitus Dunbar, is one of the earliest species of the Limuli- na (Xiphosurida). Some specimens from Kansas, USA, are exceptionally well preserved, retaining intact book gills and appendages. Indistinct, bilobed burrowing traces of vari- able width occur in association with some examples of P. signatus and may have been produced by that animal. Based on actualistic taphonomic experiments on Limulus polyphemus, ancient horseshoe crabs and other arthropods having non-mineralized exoskeletons are inferred to have become pliable soon after death or moulting, and to have disarticulated slowly prior to burial. Extreme compression, wrinkling, and loose folding of sclerites are attributed to burial of a pliable exoskeleton. Slow preburial dis- articulation partly accounts for the exceptional preservation of Paleolimulus remains. Also relevant for the exceptional preservation of these arthropods was burial in estuar- ine, tidal ¯at, or lacustrine environments. Because of ¯uctuating salinity and possibly dessicating conditions, these settings were limiting to scavengers, burrowers, and some microbes that could potentially disarticulate or decompose xiphosurid remains. & Arthropod, horseshoe crab, Kansas, Pennsylvanian, Permian, taphonomy, Xiphosurid.

  • Reservoir Sediment Management Workshop for Tuttle Creek Lake and Perry Lake Reservoirs in the Kansas River Basin
    ERDC/CHL CHETN-XIV-43 March 2015 Reservoir Sediment Management Workshop for Tuttle Creek Lake and Perry Lake Reservoirs in the Kansas River Basin by John Shelley PURPOSE: This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) summarizes a brainstorming workshop/scoping session held on 5–6 August 2013 to conceptualize promising sediment management strategies to prolong the life of two, large, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) reservoirs in the Kansas River basin in the state of Kansas within the U.S. Army Engineer District, Kansas City (NWK). The focus of the workshop was on ways to transport sediment from the reservoirs to the downstream channels, using concepts promoted by the USACE Regional Sediment Management (RSM) Program. This technical note describes the workshop format, lists ideas generated, and explains the options selected for further study. INTRODUCTION: Sedimentation in USACE reservoirs decreases available storage and may have deleterious effects on the reservoirs’ authorized purposes. Sedimentation problems are severe in reservoirs on the Kansas River, where expanding water demand due to population increases must be satisfied by storage volume that is shrinking due to decades of ongoing reservoir sedimentation. Correspondingly, downstream channels are degrading, and sediment- dependent aquatic species are suffering from a lack of sediment. The workshop was held to develop sediment-management strategies to prolong the life of Tuttle Creek Lake and Perry Lake reservoirs in the Kansas River basin (Figure 1). Figure 1. Tuttle Creek Lake and Perry Lake Reservoirs, Kansas. ERDC/CHL CHETN-XIV-43 March 2015 The workshop included robust participation by six State of Kansas agencies including agencies responsible for water and natural resources planning, research, and permitting.
