  • Histology and Ontogeny of Pachyrhinosaurus Nasal Bosses By
    Histology and Ontogeny of Pachyrhinosaurus Nasal Bosses by Elizabeth Kruk A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Systematics and Evolution Department of Biological Sciences University of Alberta © Elizabeth Kruk, 2015 Abstract Pachyrhinosaurus is a peculiar ceratopsian known only from Upper Cretaceous strata of Alberta and the North Slope of Alaska. The genus consists of three described species Pachyrhinosaurus canadensis, Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai, and Pachyrhinosaurus perotorum that are distinguishable by cranial characteristics, including parietal horn shape and orientation, absence/presence of a rostral comb, median parietal bar horns, and profile of the nasal boss. A fourth species of Pachyrhinosaurus is described herein and placed into its phylogenetic context within Centrosaurinae. This new species forms a polytomy at the crown with Pachyrhinosaurus canadensis and Pachyrhinosaurus perotorum, with Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai falling basal to that polytomy. The diagnostic features of this new species are an apomorphic, laterally curved Process 3 horns and a thick longitudinal ridge separating the supraorbital bosses. Another focus is investigating the ontogeny of Pachyrhinosaurus nasal bosses in a histological context. Previously, little work has been done on cranial histology in ceratopsians, focusing instead on potential integumentary structures, the parietals of Triceratops, and how surface texture relates to underlying histological structures. An ontogenetic series is established for the nasal bosses of Pachyrhinosaurus at both relative (subadult versus adult) and fine scale (Stages 1-5). It was demonstrated that histology alone can indicate relative ontogenetic level, but not stages of a finer scale. Through Pachyrhinosaurus ontogeny the nasal boss undergoes increased vascularity and secondary remodeling with a reduction in osteocyte lacunar density.

  • PIGEON LAKE, ALBERTA …A Brief History
    PIGEON LAKE, ALBERTA …a brief history Pigeon Lake is one of the largest and most extensively used recreational waters in Alberta. The lake covers an area of 96.7 km2 (37.3 sq. mi), and has a maximum depth of 9.1 m (30 ft.) It is an early tributary of the Battle River, connected through the Pigeon Lake Creek with no large water inflows. It is served by hundreds of fresh water streams and artesian wells, with levels highly dependent on snow and rain conditions. The water freezes over in November of each year and over the past half century has thawed to open water as early as April 16 in 2016 and as late as May 28th in 2013. Historical records detail a large artesian well on the northeast corner of the lake used for fresh drinking water by Nakoda tribes and the Algonquin Cree who travelled the region as early as 1725. Anthony Henday, one of the first of the British explorers, travelled the area as an emissary for the Hudson Bay Company in 1754 when the lake was called “hmi-hmoo” by the Cree Indians. The name in English meant "Woodpecker Lake." In 1858 the name was changed to Pigeon Lake in recognition of Passenger Pigeons, considered one of the prettiest doves in the world. They were said to have numbered in the millions and unfortunately were hunted to extinction. In the mid-19th century Pigeon Lake became a gathering place for First Nations people from numerous tribes and therefore a desirable spot for the location of both a Hudson Bay Company Trading Post and a Christian Mission.

The purpose was to find out if increasing onshore development had resulted in changes to water quality since the previous 1983 study by Hardy Associates, and how development in the drainage basin should be handled to preserve the recreational value of the lake.

  • Pigeon Lake Report
    THE ALBERTA LAKE MANAGEMENT SOCIETY VOLUNTEER LAKE MONITORING PROGRAM 2015 Pigeon Lake Report LAKEWATCH IS MADE POSSIBLE WITH SUPPORT FROM: Alberta Lake Management Society’s LakeWatch Program LakeWatch has several important objectives, one of which is to collect and interpret water quality data on Alberta Lakes. Equally important is educating lake users about their aquatic environment, encouraging public involvement in lake management, and facilitating cooperation and partnerships between government, industry, the scientific community and lake users. LakeWatch Reports are designed to summarize basic lake data in understandable terms for a lay audience and are not meant to be a complete synopsis of information about specific lakes. Additional information is available for many lakes that have been included in LakeWatch and readers requiring more information are encouraged to seek those sources. ALMS would like to thank all who express interest in Alberta’s aquatic environments and particularly those who have participated in the LakeWatch program. These people prove that ecological apathy can be overcome and give us hope that our water resources will not be the limiting factor in the health of our environment. Data in this report is still in the validation process. Acknowledgements The LakeWatch program is made possible through the dedication of its volunteers. We would like to thank Richard McCardia and Colin McQueen for volunteering to sample Pigeon Lake in 2015. In addition, we would like to thank the Pigeon Lake Watershed Association and its contributing members and Summer Villages for their assistance in program coordination and financial support. We would also like to thank Laticia McDonald, Ageleky Bouzetos, and Mohamad Youssef who were summer technicians with ALMS in 2015.

  • Prepared For
    Volume 5D, ESA – Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Socio-Economic Technical Reports Trans Mountain Expansion Project Traditional Land and Resource Use Technical Report An Elder reported that he and fellow Ermineskin Cree Nation community members once fished for whitefish, pickerel, perch, rainbow trout, pike and bull trout in Wabamun Lake. However, due to an oil spill in 2005, the water quality is now poor and fishing is not ideal. The fish are small and are believed to be unhealthy due to pollution. Although Ermineskin Cree Nation community members do not travel to the lake to fish, community members from nearby bands still report it to be an important fishing site. Community members report that some of their past fishing sites are no longer used. An Elder identified Pigeon Lake as a fishing site (Plate 5.1.7-1). Most fishing takes place at the south end of the lake. Historically, net fishing has been conducted. Community members reported that Buck Lake was the best spot to catch whitefish in the past. Chimney Creek, near Kootenay Plains, was also a known fishing site, now used for grazing livestock and not often used by Ermineskin Cree Nation members. A cabin was once situated there.
