Paleogeomorphology Affecting Early Pennsylvanian Floras in Rock Island County, Illinois
Author: Richard L. Leary
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Geology, Stratigraphic
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Plant fossils preserved in basal Pennsylvanian rocks of western Illinois are significant because composition of many of the paleofloras differs from those of more commonly preserved and better studied coal swamp floras. Each Early Pennsylvanian (Namurian - Westphalian A) flora of the Rock Island County area differs from the others to some extent; most are different from a typical Pennsylvanian coal swamp flora of comparable age. Differences are attributed to environmental factors; some floras were restricted to uplands, others grew on alluvial or delta plains ... Paleoland forms, smooth bedrock surfaces, and lack of limestone debris at the pre-Pennsylvanian unconformity (post-Late Devonian - pre-Westphalian B) surface indicate a warm, humid climate in earliest Pennsylvanian. Presence of several buried hills which are similar to those of cone karst may also indicate a period of warm, humid climate. Possible presence of dolines, uvalas, blind valleys, and incised river valleys in the subsurface may represent a subsequent interval of uplift and rejuvenated erosion.

Terrestrial Ecosystems Through Time
Author: Anna K. Behrensmeyer
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226041557
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 588
Book Description
Breathtaking in scope, this is the first survey of the entire ecological history of life on land—from the earliest traces of terrestrial organisms over 400 million years ago to the beginning of human agriculture. By providing myriad insights into the unique ecological information contained in the fossil record, it establishes a new and ambitious basis for the study of evolutionary paleoecology of land ecosystems. A joint undertaking of the Evolution of Terrestrial Ecosystems Consortium at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, and twenty-six additional researchers, this book begins with four chapters that lay out the theoretical background and methodology of the science of evolutionary paleoecology. Included are a comprehensive review of the taphonomy and paleoenvironmental settings of fossil deposits as well as guidelines for developing ecological characterizations of extinct organisms and the communities in which they lived. The remaining three chapters treat the history of terrestrial ecosystems through geological time, emphasizing how ecological interactions have changed, the rate and tempo of ecosystem change, the role of exogenous "forcing factors" in generating ecological change, and the effect of ecological factors on the evolution of biological diversity. The six principal authors of this volume are all associated with the Evolution of Terrestrial Ecosystems program at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution.
