Zusammenfassung: | The principal purpose of this study is to determine from geological and biological evidence how a concentration of fossil bones originated. The Verdigre quarry of earliest Pliocene age in the Valentine Formation, northeastern Nebraska forms the basis for the investigation. Some 40 genera of mammals, 7 of reptiles, 2 of amphibians, and 6 of fishes are represented in a collection of over 20,000 identifiable specimens recovered from a small excavation in a 4-5 foot-thick lens of extremely poorly sorted, gravelly, silty, clayey sand. The open framework and textural inversion of the fossiliferous stratum indicate very rapid deposition, probably in a single flood. Preferred orientation of long bones shows that the depositional current flowed from the NNW. The site of deposition was an off-channel depression on a broad floodplain which was subaerially exposed (mudcracked)prior to the flood. |
