    Evidence from Charcoal of Fire Regimes in the Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada

    Pedo-anthracology and Pre-Quaternary charcoal Evidence from charcoal of fire regimes in the Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada Sarah A. E. Brown1, Andrew C. Scott1, Margaret E. Collinson1 and Dennis Braman2 1 Department of Earth Sciences, Royal Holloway University of London, Egham, Surrey, TW20 0EX, U.K; [email protected] 2 Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, Midland Provincial Park, P.O. Box 7500, Drumheller, Alberta T05 0Y0, Canada; [email protected] Summary: Charcoal is recorded from late Cretaceous sediments of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada and represents the first documented observations of charcoal at this locality despite over one hundred years of research. Abundant charcoal deposits have been recorded throughout the 1.7 million year sediment sequence indicating multiple fire events within this locality. Fire appears to be a major influencing factor within this Cretaceous ecosystem and may have affected the life of the inhabiting dinosaurs. The occurrence of charcoal allows reconstruction of the burned vegetation at multiple locations within Dinosaur Provincial Park. The charcoal assemblage is comprised of gymnosperm wood only, which may be a reasonable representation of the local vegetation; however it could be the result of a taphonomic bias. The absence of additional plant types within the charcoal assemblage may also be due to certain species being preferentially burnt owing to a more fire prone nature. Key words: wildfire, charcoal, gymnosperm, wood, Cretaceous INTRODUCTION Fire plays a major role in modern ecosystems, greatly influencing plant communities (Bowman et al., 2009). The anatomical preservation of charcoal makes it a highly useful tool that allows reconstruction of plants, and therefore the vegetation of specific localities.

    AAPRCO & RPCA Members Meet to Develop Their Response to New Amtrak Regulations

    Volume 1 Issue 6 May 2018 AAPRCO & RPCA members meet to develop their response to new Amtrak regulations Members of the two associations met in New Orleans last week to further develop their response to new regulations being imposed by Amtrak on their members’ private railroad car businesses. Several of those vintage railroad cars were parked in New Orleans Union Station. “Most of our owners are small business people, and these new policies are forcing many of them to close or curtail their operations,” said AAPRCO President Bob Donnelley. “It is also negatively impacting their employees, suppliers and the hospitality industry that works with these private rail car trips,” added RPCA President Roger Fuehring. Currently about 200 private cars travel hundreds of thousands of miles behind regularly scheduled Amtrak trains each year. Along with special train excursions, they add nearly $10 million dollars in high margin revenue annually to the bottom line of the tax-payer subsidized passenger railroad. A 12% rate increase was imposed May 1 with just two weeks’ notice . This followed a longstanding pattern of increases taking effect annually on October 1. Cost data is being developed by economic expert Bruce Horowitz for presentation to Amtrak as are legal options. Members of both organizations are being asked to continue writing their Congress members and engaging the press. Social media is being activated and you are encouraged to follow AAPRCO on Facebook and twitter. Successes on the legislative front include this Congressional letter sent to Amtrak's president and the Board and inclusion of private car and charter train issues in recent hearings.
