Ashfall Fossil Beds, Museum Notes Series By Mike Voorhies, Curator of Vertebrate paleontology. Hundreds of skeletons of prehistoric animals have museum crews working in the ashfall fossil beds in northern Antelope County 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.

Chapter Quicklink What's the Buzz Escape Hatch: Open Mic 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: Vertebrates (or Craniata) include the well-known animals such as fish (Pisces), amphibians (Amphibia), reptiles (Reptilia), dinosaurs (Dinosauria, usually included in the Reptilia), birds (Aves, sometimes classed as feathered Reptiles or Dinosaurs), and mammals, including humans (Mammalia). Fossils of all these groups have been found in Kentucky except for the dinosaurs, which have the potential to be found in far western Kentucky, although none have been found to date. The common feature of vertebrate animals is that they have a spinal column and associated vertebrae. In some animals, like sharks, the vertebrae are composed of cartilage. In other animals, like mammals and reptiles, vertebrae are composed of bone. Bones can be fossilized; cartilage is generally not fossilized. Vertebrate fossils are rare in Kentucky. Most reported fossils that look like bones, claws, or teeth, are actually fossils of other types of animals or are pseudofossils. Pseudofossils are rocks that look like fossils, but are not fossils. If you think you have found a fossil bone, look at the Recognizing fossil bones section first. Look at the criteria for identifying fossil bones, and see if the fossil you have looks like the fossils shown to determine if it is actually a bone or not. If after comparing your fossil to the other fossils, it appears that your fossil may be a fossil bone, try to match it to the fossils shown below in Vertebrate fossils found in Kentucky. If you have found a fossil bone in Kentucky, please call the Kentucky Geological Survey (859) 257-5500, so that we can document and verify the find.

Extractions: E.S.C.O.N.I. PALEONTOLOGY STUDY GROUP MEETING 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. David Lizz talked about his trip to Canada. He visited the James Dick Quarry (Ordovician) and showed his Calymene trilobite. Chris Cozert showed some fossils from the St. Louis area, Warsaw formation, Middle Mississippian, with crinoids, edrioasteroids and blastoids (Pentremities). Also collected Crinoid Calyx from the Burlington formation, St. Louis County area. He showed fossils from Prairie Du Long creek in Illinois. He also found rare blastoids from Chattanooga, Tennessee.
