holdinghistory Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Anyone know of some good papers or books for identifying the species on GRF leaves? Mainly looking for leaf info, but insect info is welcome too. Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 This has been a point of interest for me as well. There are a number of publications out there that have SOME information but nothing that is complete and little recent work. Here are a few that I have been able to find myself: "Revision of the flora of the Green River formation, with descriptions of new species" Link --> https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/pp131F "The Recognizable Species of the Green River Flora: Link --> https://pubs.usgs.gov/pp/0185c/report.pdf "The Eocene Green River Flora of Northwestern Colorado and Northeastern Utah" (unfortunately not the full publication) Link --> https://books.google.com/books?id=Q2LpM5cB_X8C&lpg=PA134&ots=1V2ZdEfIwp&dq=revision of the flora of the green river formation&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false Common Plant Fossils from the Green River Formation at Douglas Pass, Colorado, and Bonanza, Utah.pdf 2 -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doushantuo Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I gave a list of taxa to Google which I'd recommend everyone to use because it just might that it is the most recent one . As others will tell you also,Steve Manchester,Scott Wing,David Dilcher and perhaps some others have a useful (quantitative AND qualitative)output with regard to Paleogene floras. These floras cluster in time around significant climatic events,and that significance has led (and still does )to some in-depth paleobotanical analysis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
