"Fossil Plants At Aldrich Hill, Nevada" Now Back Online
My paleobotany page, "Fossil Plants At Aldrich Hill, Nevada," is now
back on online, after several months in hiatus, over at http://members.aol.com/Waucoba5/ah/aldrichhill.html . It's a virtual field trip to the classic fossil locality in western Nevada, where some 35 species of aancient plants, represented by leaves, seeds and twigs preserved on the bedding planes of diatomaceous (bearing a high proportion of diatoms, microscopic single-celled plants) siltstones and mudstones, can be found in the 12 to 13-million-year-old Middle Miocene Aldrich Station Formation. A sampling of paleobotanical remains that can recovered from this locality includes the leaves of evergreen live oaks, winged seeds from a variety of Spruce, plus twigs from the Giant Sequoia (Sierra Redwood/Big Tree). |
