The park straddles the border between the states of Colorado and Utah (Moffat and Uintah Counties). Elevation ranges from just under 5,000 ft at the southwest boundary to just over 9,000 ft at Zenobia Peak on the eastern boundary. Vegetation includes desert shrublands and riparian communities at the lowest elevations, semi- desert and montane shrub-steppe and pinyon-juniper woodlands at mid-elevations, and montane forest at the highest elevations. Pinyon-juniper woodlands comprise roughly 60% of Dinosaur’s vegetation; shrub-steppe covers approximately 25% of the landscape. A comprehensive vegetation classification and a vegetation map were completed for Dinosaur in 2008 and a soil survey was completed in 2007. Increasingly complex interactions between fire and invasive species have begun to present unprecedented complications for park managers, leading to the need for a comprehensive assessment of current landscape condition, analysis of historical patterns of change, and an improved understanding of the past and future role of fire in Dinosaur’s unique environment.

Lekson Dr. Catherine M. Cameron Sheila Rae Goff, NAGPRA Liaison, History Colorado Date__________ The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we Find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards Of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. Abstract Sommer, Caitlin Ariel, M.A. (Anthropology Department) Title: Animacy, Symbolism, and Feathers from Mantle’s Cave, Colorado Thesis directed by Dr. Stephen H. Lekson Rediscovered in the 1930s by the Mantle family, Mantle’s Cave contained excellently preserved feather bundles, a feather headdress, moccasins, a deer-scalp headdress, baskets, stone tools, and other perishable goods. From the start of excavations, Mantle’s Cave appeared to display influences from both Fremont and Ancestral Puebloan peoples, leading Burgh and Scoggin to determine that the cave was used by Fremont people displaying traits heavily influenced by Basketmaker peoples. Researchers have analyzed the baskets, cordage, and feather headdress in the hopes of obtaining both radiocarbon dates and clues as to which culture group used Mantle’s Cave. This thesis attempts to derive the cultural influence of the artifacts from Mantle’s Cave by analyzing the feathers.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by The State H istorical Society ef Colorado Vol. XXIX Denver, Colorado, April, 1952 Number 2 " Queen Ann" of Brown's Park .ANN BASSETT Wn,Lrs INTRODUCTION (BY VALENTINE FITZPA'fRICK) Women who dared the frontier at its worst were few. True, there were many pioneer mothers whose deeds of heroism were the quiet kind, that went unsung. Of those who met the West on its own terms, dealt back as good as they received, asked no sanctuary because they were women, so bringing bright glory to their age and sex, the number may easily be counted. 'fhey were a brave few. History and romance have immortalized but a small number of these . .And among them, none exceeds in daring, intelligence, glamor and honor-Queen .Ann. Child of the West, born to a family that grappled with the West in its roughest, toughest days and tamed it, was .Ann Bassett. I1ike an antelope she was born running, and like an antelope takes to water, she took to education, knowledge and experience-while moving. There was nothing static in .Ann Bassett's career. Born in a dirt-covered log cabin, where the nearest neighbors were miles dis­ tant and schoolhouses were unknown, she nevertheless came to shine in the most erudite company, to wear the manner and grace of the elite, yet never losing touch nor sympathy with the land and the people of her native hills. In more ways than one she earned the title by which she was known from prairie to ocean and from the land of the Rio Grande to .Athabasca.

  • Bill Jennings' Key to Phlox
    KEY TO PHLOX OF COLORADO PREPARED BY BILL JENNINGS APRIL 29, 1999 The similarity of Phlox flowers from species to species does not offer much upon which to construct a key, except plant stature and habitat, the tack taken in most floras. However, taken together, the dimensions of the plant, leaves, and flowers; characteristics of the calyx; pubescence; habitat; blooming season; and elevation seem to separate the species of Phlox. Considering the similarity of the flowers, most species of Phlox are probably pollinated by the same or similar pollinators. It is probable that only by temporal, ecological, and elevational differences do the taxa maintain their distinctiveness as species. Where species share the same range and habitat, one should expect difficulty in separating species of Phlox. 1. Plants east of Continental Divide...2 1. Plants west of Continental Divide...11 2. Plants of the eastern plains (generally east of I-25)...3 2. Plants of the foothills, mountains, and tundra...6 3. cushionlike, densely caespitose plants, less than about 5 cm tall; leaves densely woolly, closely overlapping, scale-like, less than 5 mm long; flowers white to bluish, tube 5-10 mm, lobes 3-5 mm, style 2-5 mm; blooming mid-May to mid-June, peaking June 9; often in cracks in rock outcrops or on rocky sites, usually on calcareous substrates, in Logan, Weld, and Larimer Counties within about 30 miles of the Wyoming state line...Phlox muscoides (Phlox bryoides) (This can be difficult to distinguish from somewhat caespitose plants of Phlox hoodii, but Phlox muscoides is copiously woolly pubescent, is usually restricted to very rocky sites, and blooms later; see lead 5B for more characteristics of Phlox hoodii).

This report presents a bibliography, an index, and sources of available data about the ground-water hydrology and geology of Colorado west of the Continental Divide. Interpretive reports, data reports, and geologic maps dated 1871 through 1989 are referenced and indexed.
