Titanothere vertebra

Chadron Formation, Oligocene

Badlands, South Dakota

 

 

I found this on forest service land during geology field camp in 1998. Collecting was allowed as long as all finds were photographed and documented at the time.

 

Fossils from the Chadron are considered Late Eocene.  Titanotheres died out in North America at the end of the Eocene.  I should note that older references did state the age of the Chadron beds as Oligocene and the end of the Chadronian (based on the Chadron beds) does not exactly coincide with the Eocene-Oligocene boundary so I might be corrected at some point regarding the first sentence in this post.

Thank you.

 

I now barely remember being told during field camp that the Chadron is Eocene. It is uppermost Eocene, so the pattern in this thread isn't quite broken.

 

The boundary with the Cretaceous Pierre Shale, on the other hand, was quite dramatic.

Wow this thread has really taken off! I quite look forward to seeing just how long this actually goes

I think we might have skipped the Paleocene so here’s a couple of  Scyliorhinus entomodon from the Paleocene of Morocco (Ben Idir specifically)
