Ashfall Fossil Beds SHP - Ashfall Story ashfall fossil beds State Historical Park. An intact fossil site left in place for public viewing. By Mike Voorhies, Curator of Vertebrate paleontology http://ashfall.unl.edu/life_death.html
Extractions: Nebraska's newest state park, Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park, opened its gates on June 1, 1991. Located 6 miles north of U.S. Highway 20 between Royal and Orchard, the park is a joint project of the University of Nebraska State Museum and the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. Two buildings have been constructed at the site: a Visitor Center featuring interpretive displays and a working fossil preparation laboratory and a Rhino Barn covering a portion of the fossil-bearing ash bed. Each summer paleontologists working in the Rhino Barn will continue to expose skeletons buried in the ash. The newly uncovered fossils are being left exactly as they are found. Specially constructed walkways afford visitors an unobstructed, close-up view of the paleontologists at work. When the entire 2000-square-foot area within the Rhino Barn has been excavated, plans call for extending the building to cover more of the fossil bed, only a small fraction of which is currently protected by a roof. The first indication that a fossil bed of major significance might lie buried on Melvin Colson's farm came to light during the summer of 1971 when I noticed the skull of a baby rhinoceros eroding from the wall of a ravine at the edge of a cornfield on Mr. Colson's property. What made the find so unusual was that the skull and lower jaws were in perfect articulation and that the fossil was completely embedded in soft, distinctly layered volcanic ash.

Extractions: Mike teaches paleontology classes at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. He studies prehistoric horses, rhinos, camels, elephants, rodents of all kinds, and many other species that lived in Nebraska during a portion of the Age of Mammals from 15 million years ago through the present (late Miocene Epoch, the Pliocene Epoch, and the Pleistocene Epoch).

Dinosaurs & Paleontology The study of fossils is called paleontology . If you re interested in learning more about State of Nebraska ashfall fossil beds State Historical Park http://www.buzzle.com/chapters/children-and-family_learning-and-playing_science-
Extractions: Dinosaur is the term given to various kinds of extinct reptiles of the Mesozoic, from 230 to 65 million years ago, when they were the dominant land animals on Earth. Thousands of dinosaur remains have been found worldwide. 'Fossils' are remains of prehistoric organisms, preserved by burial under countless layers of sedimentary material. They are a record of the history of life, beginning approximately 3.5 billion years ago. The study of fossils is called 'paleontology'.

Extractions: E.S.C.O.N.I. PALEONTOLOGY STUDY GROUP MEETING PALEONTOLOGY SHOW AND TELL SEPTEMBER 16, 2000 Don Auler talked about Ashfall Park in eastern Nebraska. He showed a bag of loess; a fine powder made up of glacial debris. The loess soil doesnt erode; the water goes right through. Loess is formed by the glaciers grinding the rocks into fine powder. Many of the bluffs on the Mississippi river are primarily loess. Fossils found in the park were primarily mammals. University of Nebraska has a good web site (see below). Jeanine Milecki showed her fossils from Lone Star and Montone: She talked about how cystoids are never found with arms. She found geodes with brachiopods. She showed her conularia, an unusual rectangular fossil. She showed her Mazon Creek fossils from Braceville Jim Fairchild showed his Calymene Trilobite from the Blombereks Flagstone quarry in Joiliet. Bruce Galloway brought his bone found at the Lone Star Quarry in June. Michael Philips, a geology instructor at Illinois Valley Community in Oglesby has confirmed that the Galloways had found a legbone from a tetrapod (a four-legged animal that looks like a mud puppy) from the Pennsylvanian Age (286-320 million years ago). This was an unusual find as tetrapod amphibians are not normally found in underwater environments (See Web sites below) Barrett Galloway brought his pavement tooth of a shellcrusher shark embedded in limestone found September 4 at Illinois Cement Quarry.

Extractions: As far as fossil remains go, almost always, only scraps of bone or shell or a few carbonized leaves are all that remain of past organisms. Too often the soft parts decompose, and even the hard parts degrade. In some exceptional instances however, usually anaerobic environments, or a sudden mudslide or volcanic eruption, organisms are buried before their bodies can be broken down by bacteria, or consumed by scavengers. Eventually their bodies are carbonized or mineralized, and so even soft-bodied creatures become fossilized. Such environments provide a unique, rare and precious window to the past. These extraordinary fossil deposits, where organisms are so well preserved that even their soft parts remain as carbon films, are referred to as Lagerstätten , a German word meaning "deposit places". These are geological fossil deposits that are rich with varied, well-preserved fossils, representing a wide variety of life from a particular era. These spectacular fossil deposits represent a window into the past, a kind of "snapshot" of the type of organisms (hard and sometimes soft-bodied) that lived at that particular time and place.
