"HIt Street Baker Grants Pass *************************** FOSSIL LOCALITIES OF THE EUGENE AREA, OREGON By Margaret L. Steere'" Introduction The Eugene area became known for its fossils through Dr. Thomas Condon, first Professor of Geology at the University of Oregon, who began collecting there about 80 years ago. Since that time many species of fossils have been discovered and identified, and both the University of Oregon and Oregon State College have important collections in their museums. Typical fossils of the Eugene area are sea shells and leaf imprints. They occur in inter fingering marine and terrestrial strata that were deposited from late Eocene to late Oligocene time (30 to 50 million years ago). These fossiliferous beds now crop out in the hills of the Eugene area and all dip gently eastward as the result of regional folding. In the valleys of the Willamette River and its tributaries these rocks are almost entirely buried under a horizontal blanket of Pleistocene and Recent alluvium. Eleven localities where fossils can be found in the Eugene area are shown on the accom panying map. Local ities 1 through 7 have marine fossils and local ities 8 through 11 have leaf fossils. Following a review of the geologic history, these localities are described and some of the fossils listed and illustrated. A bibliography is added for persons who wish to know more about the geology and paleontology of the region. -

Willamette River Recreation Guide
Willamette River RECREATION GUIDE Governor’s MESSAGE The Willamette River is a vital thread that weaves together the tapestry of the Willamette Valley tand the 19 cities it flows through. The Willamette provides impor- tant irrigation for the agricultural industry while supporting a variety of recreational opportunities – from boating and water skiing to fishing and nature viewing. You can expect to see something different around every bend of the river, from an osprey swooping in for lunch to a grace- ful blue heron surveying the scenery; a deer on the shoreline lapping up a drink of water to a beaver swimming along the shore. The Willamette is also home to a variety of fish including sturgeon, cut- throat trout and salmon. Not so visible is the importance of this beautiful river in our state’s history. Early mills, ferries and numer- ous towns clung to the river for power and trans- portation. For centuries before the settlers arrived, Native Americans relied on the river’s bounty as well. I invite you to use this Willamette River Recreation Guide to discover this great resource and to connect with the richness it has to offer.
