Ashfall Fossil Beds, Museum Notes Series By Mike Voorhies, Curator of Vertebrate paleontology Nebraska s newest state park, ashfall fossil beds State Historical Park, opened its gates on June 1 http://www-museum.unl.edu/research/vertpaleo/ashfall.html
Extractions: February 1992 Hundreds of skeletons of prehistoric animals have been found in a volcanic ash bed buried beneath the rolling farmlands of northeastern Nebraska. Some of the best-preserved fossil rhinos, horses, camels, and birds known anywhere have been, and are being, excavated by museum crews working in the Ashfall Fossil Beds in northern Antelope County. Unlike most fossil deposits, which consist of scattered bones accumulated over extended periods of time, the ash bed contains mostly articulated remains with bones still joined together in the proper order.Quick burial in volcanic ash accounts for the three-dimensional preservation of the skeletons of species that became extinct millions of years before they could have been seen by humans. These remarkably lifelike skeletons, some of which contain unborn young and stomach contents, give paleontologists an opportunity to reconstruct the life appearance and habits of these ancient species with an accuracy never before attainable. The ash bed also contains abundant additional clues to the vegetation and climate of the landscape in which the rhinos and other animals lived and died. It is truly a 'time capsule' presenting us with a picture of a vanished world unrivaled in detail and clarity. This pamphlet describes some of the highlights of the first two decades of exploration of the site. It also invites you, the reader, to experience a sense of discovery of Nebraska's deep past by visiting the locality, which is now open to the public five months each year.
Feature Fossil For Spring 1996--Ashfall Fossil Beds Division of Vertebrate paleontology University of Nebraska State Museum ashfall fossil beds, a Museum locality originally named Poison Ivy Quarry, http://www-museum.unl.edu/research/vertpaleo/ash-feat.html
Extractions: University of Nebraska State Museum This Spring's Feature Fossil is actually a feature site , the Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park in Antelope County, Nebraska. The Park is a joint operation of the University of Nebraska State Museum and the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. The Museum is responsible for all educational and scientific programs at the Park, as well as for the excavation, preparation and preservation of the fossils themselves. We've recently added a web version of the Museum Notes issue about the site Ashfall: Life and Death at a Nebraska Waterhole Ten Million Years Ago . The Game and Parks Commission also maintains a web page describing Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park and includes information about Park facilities and operating schedule. It has been said, however, that a picture is worth a thousand words. In the case of Ashfall, I'd wager that it's more like ten thousand words. Trying to
