Box 25287 Denver, Colorado 80225 March 2006 U.S. Department of the Interior Washington, D.C. The Natural Resource Publication series addresses natural resource topics that are of interest and applicability to a broad readership in the National Park Service and to others in the management of natural resources, including the scientific community, the public, and the NPS conservation and environmental constituencies. Manuscripts are peer-reviewed to ensure that the information is scientifically credible, technically accurate, appropriately written for the intended audience, and is designed and published in a professional manner. Natural Resource Reports are the designated medium for disseminating high priority, current natural resource management information with managerial application. The series targets a general, diverse audience, and may contain NPS policy considerations or address sensitive issues of management applicability. Examples of the diverse array of reports published in this series include vital signs monitoring plans; "how to" resource management papers; proceedings of resource management workshops or conferences; annual reports of resource programs or divisions of the Natural Resource Program Center; resource action plans; fact sheets; and regularly-published newsletters. Views and conclusions in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect policies of the National Park Service. Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute endorsement or recommendation for use by the National Park Service. Printed copies of reports in these series may be produced in a limited quantity and they are only available as long as the supply lasts.

His complete article with references can be downloaded for free at academia.edu and is as follows: Stueber, D.O. and Skinner, C.E., 2015, Glass Buttes, Oregon: 14,000 Year of Continuous Use In Toolstone Geography of the Pacific Northwest, Edited by Terry L. Ozbun and Ron L. Adams, pp 193-207. Archaeology Press, Simon Fraser For more than 14,000 years Glass Buttes, one of the largest obsidian sources in Oregon, has been a source of high quality toolstone for Native American flintknappers. Glass Buttes’ obsidian is of high quality, abundant, and in many colors. The colors include translucent and banded black, red, mahog- any, gold sheen, silver sheen, gray-green banded, rainbow, and banded or mottled multi-color combinations. It is found in large blocks or boulders, some weighing more than 100 pounds. Figure 1 shows many of these Oregon obsidian source sites. Because of the quality of Glass Buttes obsidian, it has been prized among Native American and First Nation people of North America. Obsidian from this source contin- ues to be coveted by present-day knappers.

  • Geologic Map of the Moriah Knoll Quadrangle, Northern Mohave County, Arizona
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Geologic map of the Moriah Knoll quadrangle, northern Mohave County, Arizona George H. Billingsley, Open-File Report 94-634 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. .S. Geological Survey, Flagstaff, Arizona 1994 1 INTRODUCTION The Moriah Knoll 7.5' quadrangle is located in northern Mohave County, northwestern Arizona. The quadrangle is about 48 km south of the Arizona/Utah State line and about 56 km southwest of Colorado City, Arizona, the nearest settlement (fig. 1). Elevations range from about 1,426 m (4,680 ft) in the northwest corner of the quadrangle to 2,007 m (6,585 ft) at Berry Knoll in the south-central edge of the quadrangle. Access to the area is by improved dirt road locally referred to as the Temple Trail. The Temple Trail branches south from the Navajo Trail. The Navajo Trail extends to Colorado City, Arizona (fig. 1). Several unimproved dirt roads lead from the Temple Trail to various locations within the quadrangle area. Travel on the Temple Trail can be done with 2 wheel drive vehicles, all other roads require a high-clearance vehicle, or 4 wheel drive in wet weather. The area is managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, including about 4 sections belonging to the state of Arizona.

  • 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.
