Mastodon-Bearing Springs and Late Quaternary Geochronology of the Lower Pomme de Terre Valley, Missouri Available to Purchase
Fourteen consecutive field seasons of scientific excavations of alluvial deposits of the lower Pomme de Terre Valley, southeastern Missouri, have provided a radiocarbondated (154 analyses) chronostratigraphic sequence in four terraces reflecting five major episodes of aggradation and degradation. Probably all of Wisconsinan time and the Holocene is represented. A sixth alluvial deposit is probably Illinoian and possibly older Pleistocene alluvium. Spring deposits within the terraces contain bone beds associated with peat lenses containing pollen, plant, and beetle remains, all of which have provided paleoecological data. The springs appear to have erupted initially, in response to either tectonic disturbance or hydrostatic pressure near the peak of a glacial maximum. Subsequent episodes may correlate with later maxima. Peat deposits correlate with interstadials on the bases of fauna, flora, and radiocarbon dating. Gravel deposits of spring conduits contain bones and plant remains that are considerably older than overlying peat deposits. Some of these older elements have been redeposited in younger spring deposits via spring action. Other evidence suggests that some animals may have fallen into springs and intruded older deposits. A developmental sequence for the origin of concentric spring deposits in alluvium is proposed. None of the six spring deposits excavated contained any associated archaeological remains older than 10,500 B.P., which marks the first appearance of artifacts in the stratigraphic record at Rodgers Shelter. Extinction of the Pleistocene big-game animals occurred sometime between then and 16,000 B.P. A major episode of degradation occurring between 10,500 and 13,000 B.P. probably coincides with similar episodes occurring approximately 12,000 B.P. on many if not most streams in the United States. With some exceptions, subsequent epicycles of cutting and filling appear to correlate generally over the same area.

Place names describing fossils in oral traditions Available to Purchase
Abstract Folk explanations of notable geological features, including fossils, are found around the world. Observations of fossil exposures (bones, footprints, etc.) led to place names for rivers, mountains, valleys, mounds, caves, springs, tracks, and other geological and palaeontological sites. Some names describe prehistoric remains and/or refer to traditional interpretations of fossils. This paper presents case studies of fossil-related place names in ancient and modern Europe and China, and Native American examples in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Evidence for the earliest known fossil-related place names comes from ancient Greco-Roman and Chinese literature. The earliest documented fossil-related place name in the New World was preserved in a written text by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. In many instances, fossil geonames are purely descriptive; in others, however, the mythology about a specific fossil locality survives along with the name: in still other cases the geomythology is suggested by recorded traditions about similar palaeontological phenomena. The antiquity and continuity of some fossil-related place names shows that people had observed and speculated about mineralized traces of extinct life forms long before modern scientific investigations. Traditional place names can reveal heretofore unknown geomyths as well as new geologically-important sites.
