Few visitors are aware of the important paleontological resources that occur in the park. During the summer of 2016, a comprehensive field inventory of paleontological resources within CHIC was conducted. The inventory process involved primary literature research, an extensive field survey of fossiliferous units, and inventories of collections and repositories. The field survey yielded eight new fossiliferous localities, and eight previously undocumented taxa within CHIC. This is the first discovery of fossils in the Deese Group and Sycamore Limestone within the recreation area. During the 2016 inventory, fossils were documented at all previously known localities within CHIC, except for those localities now submerged under the Lake of the Arbuckles. Collections were made of the representative fauna found within CHIC, and 73 fossil specimens were accessioned into museum collections.

Captain George Green was a highly esteemed, 31-year veteran of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Captain Green’s most recent duty was as Troop Commander for troops on the Cimarron, Turner and Kilpatrick Turnpikes. Captain Green will be greatly missed. COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT For the Year Ended December 31, 2010 Oklahoma Turnpike Authority A Component Unit of the State of Oklahoma Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Prepared by the Controller Division About the OKLAHOMA TURNPIKE AUTHORITY The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) is an instrumentality of the State of Oklahoma created by the State Legislature by statute in 1947 for the purpose of constructing, operating and maintaining the Turner Turnpike. In 1953, the original purpose was statutorily redefined to allow the construction of additional turnpikes and to change the Authority’s membership to include a representative from each of six Oklahoma districts specifically defined in the OTA’s bylaws and Oklahoma Statute. These changes were ratified by a statewide referendum in January 1954. The Oklahoma State Legislature has the exclusive right to authorize turnpike routes. Subsequently, the OTA has the responsibility to complete engineering and economic feasibility analyses of the authorized routes before any turnpike can be constructed. Turnpike bond sales must be approved by the Council of Bond Oversight and must comply with all rules and regulations of the United States Treasury Department and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
