RESOLVING BLURRED FAUNAS: BIOSTRATIGRAPHY IN JOHN DAY FOSSIL BEDS NATIONAL MONUMENT A system of "cyclic prospecting" begun in 1984 at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument (JODA) has resulted in the salvaging of thousands of specimens that would have been lost to weathering or inadequate data recording (Fremd, 1992a). Work outside the national monument was begun with cooperative agreement with the BLM (Hanson and Allen, 1988, Fremd, 1989, 1992b); this has since grown to include work in the other occurrences of the strata in the state. The earliest canids in the John Day Formation are represented by the simultaneous occurrence of the sister-species "Cormocyon" lemur and "C." latidens in strata equivalent to the upper Brule Formation (Whitneyan) of the northern Great Plains. www2.nature.nps.gov /geology/paleontology/pub/grd2/gsa15.htm   (1663 words)

Julie and Sterling Crockett It also has the John Day Fossil Beds Visitors' Center, which is where you have the chance to see some of the most dramatic fossils which have been found in the Park. John Day, by the way, has nothing to do with fossils, or even anything really in Eastern Oregon, except for the fact that he was robbed by the mouth of what is now the John Day River, so practically everything in the vicinity bears his name. You see, when we were at the Visitors' Center, the head ranger told us that although fossil collecting is totally prohibited throughout the National Park, there were a couple of other places where it was completely fine, and obviously encouraged. www.crocketts.org /nps/joda.html   (2377 words)

John Day Located on the high volcanic plateau of north central Oregon, the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument (established by Congress in 1975) consists of three widely separated "units" encompassing 14,000 acres in the badlands of the middle John Day basin.

The cliffs of the Clarno Unit are the remnants of a series of lahars, gigantic mudflows of CF ash that rolled down the slopes of nearby volcanoes and inundated the low-lying forests, preserving fossilized wood, leaves, nuts, and seeds from the Late Eocene to Early Oligocene period - ca. home.pacifier.com /~shm/Local3/johnday.html   (614 words)
