Keywords: Beryciformes; Holocentriformes; Aulopiformes; otolith; evolutionary implications; paleoecology. Abstract. Bulk sampling and extensive, systematic surface collecting of the Coon Creek Member of the Ripley Formation (early Maastrichtian) at the Blue Springs locality and primarily bulk sampling of the Owl Creek Formation (late Maastrichtian) at the Owl Creek type locality, both in northeast Mississippi, USA, have produced the largest and most highly diversified actinopterygian otolith (ear stone) assemblage described from the Mesozoic of North America. The 3,802 otoliths represent 30 taxa of bony fishes representing at least 22 families. In addition, there were two different morphological types of lapilli, which were not identifiable to species level.

    Devil's Backbone Management Plan Update

    Devil’s Backbone Management Plan Update 1 2 Adoption of the Resource Management and Implementation Plan for Devil’s Backbone Open Space The Resource Management and Implementation Plan for Devil’s Backbone Open Space was recommended for adoption by the Larimer County Open Lands Advisory Board on January 22, 2015 and adopted by the Larimer County Manager and City of Fort Collins Manager. Linda Hoffmann, Larimer County Manager Date I I Darin Atteberry, Fort Collins City Manager Date 3 The Larimer County Natural Resources Department celebrated our 60th Anniversary in 2014. During this period, the help preserve open spaces sales tax was passed and one of the first open spaces we developed for public access was Devil’s Backbone Open Space. Today, approximately 70,000 people per year visit the Backbone to hike, mountain bike and horseback ride. Devil’s Backbone Open Space continues to be one of the most popular outdoor recreation areas near Loveland and we expect visitation to rise. Devil’s Backbone Open Space is popular because it provides something for everyone. The rock feature is a local icon and hundreds of students come from Larimer, Boulder and Weld counties to study the geology. The scenery and views from the open space are fantastic, whether you look west through the Keyhole feature or hike through Indian Creek valley. Wildlife is abundant and visitors are likely to see deer, golden eagles, songbirds, butterflies and flowering plants throughout the open space. Hikers rave about these natural features and mountain bikers love to ride the technical terrain through Laughing Horse Loop or the gentle sections along the north end of the Blue Sky Trail.

A very considerable number of bulletins and of miscellaneous papers has been published by the Division, references to some of which are included in the hterature cited (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 27, 28)} This investigation has led far afield and into studies not directly connected with soil analysis {17, 18, 20, 24). Among the things that have been demonstrated is that selenium instead of being of infrequent occurrence is extraordinarily widely distributed and is probably present in all soils. It appears, also, that selenium is present in many thousands of square miles of soils in sufficient concentration to produce some vegetation toxic to animals, and it is suggested, therefore, that the term ''seleniferous soils'' be appHed only to areas capable of producing toxic vegetation.

    Structural Evolution of the Oil Well Flats Detachment System, Cañon City Embayment, Colorado

    STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION OF THE OIL WELL FLATS DETACHMENT SYSTEM, CAÑON CITY EMBAYMENT, COLORADO by Lauren C. Cross A thesis submitted to the Faculty and Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date ________________ Signed: _______________________ Lauren Cross Signed: _______________________ Dr. Bruce D. Trudgill Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date ________________ Signed: _______________________ Dr. Paul Santi Professor and Head of Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT The Cañon City Embayment, located at the southern end of the Denver Basin, Colorado, is an understudied area with a complex structural history affected by major tectonic events such as the Ancestral Rocky Mountain Orogeny, Laramide Orogeny, regional epeirogenic uplift events, and Cenozoic extension. This area is of interest to the petroleum industry in part due to its proximity to Florence-Cañon City Oil Field, which produces from shallow, heavily fractured Pierre Shale and is the oldest continuously working oil ield in the United States. Detailed ield mapping identiied a ~3 km2 detachment fault system in the Oil Well Flats area, located in the northern part of the Cañon City Embayment, which is currently mapped as Quaternary alluvium and landslide deposits. The structure exhibits several topographically high, repeating blocks of Cretaceous Dakota Group sandstones, separated by topographically low valleys that are likely underlain by shale,

    Early Discoveries of Dinosaurs from North America and the Significance of the Springfield Armory Dinosaur Site

    Early Discoveries of Dinosaurs From North America and the Significance of the Springfield Armory Dinosaur Site Vincent L. Santucci National Park Service, P.O. Box 592, Kemmerer, WY 83101 Abstract—Prior to the "Great American Dinosaur Rush" during the late 1800s, there were relatively few dinosaur sites recorded in North America. Hadrosaurus foulkii is recognized as the first articulated dinosaur collected, described and displayed in the New World. Most of the early discoveries consist of the fossil trackways from the Connecticut Valley and few partial dinosaur skeletons. The type specimen of the prosauropod dinosaur Anchisaurus polyzelus is recognized as one of the earliest dinosaur discoveries in North America. The fossil bones of Anchisaurus were uncovered during a blasting operation at the armory in Springfield, Massachusetts in the early 1800s. The excavation at this site is an important record in the early history of the science of dinosaur paleontology in North America. Introduction Prior to the 1870s and the "Great Era of Dinosaur Discoveries" there is a limited history for dinosaur paleontology in North America. Relatively few dinosaur specimens were recovered prior to the American Civil War. There appeared to be a general lack of interest in the petrifications of ancient life during the first half of the 19th century. The description and naming of the dinosaur remains often came long after their discovery.
