First Jurassic Tufas in North America

I have recently been contact with Martyn Pedley from the University of Hull, U. K.  According to Dr. Pedley the tufas in our study will be the first documented Jurassic tufas in North America!  Excited to get the funding for the thin sections of the tufas.  Dr. Pedley said he would assist in the interpretation.

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.
