Tufa limestones sent for thin sectioning
Several specimens of the tufa (fresh water spring limestone) have been sent out for thin sectioning. It will be exciting to see the characteristics of the limestones and categorize the tufas.
About This Project
Two new Jurassic aged (155 million year ago) dinosaurs have been found in central Montana! These “Brontosaurus” type dinosaurs species were previously unknown to paleontologists. The scope of this project is to determine the stratigraphy, sedimentology, depositional facies, vertebrate taphonomy and paleoclimate of the Morrison Formation in central Montana. We will describe the dinosaurs and bring them back to life in their prehistoric environment.
