Amebelodon Sinclairi Sp Nov., Erwin H. Barbour
Amebelodon Sinclairi Sp Nov., Erwin H. Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
Amebelodonts are so new and so rare that even fragmentary facts relative to the group seem worth publishing. The specimen under consideration is a mandibular tusk found on the farm of Mr. A. S. Keith, Freedom, Frontier County, Nebraska, on the Morrill Geological Expedition of 1928, and is numbered 1-17-7-28, S. and L., the collectors being Bertrand Schultz and John LeMar, both of the class of 1931, the University of Nebraska. The formation was Late Pliocene or Pleistocene.
The Mandible Of Amebelodon Fricki, Erwin H. Barbour
The Mandible Of Amebelodon Fricki, Erwin H. Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
The type specimen of the genus Amebelodon is installed in the Nebraska State Museum, the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. It consists of a mandible with tusks and teeth, all of which are dense and perfect, barring minor cracks and breaks. One toe bone and part of a rib found associated with this mandible may belong to this animal. It was discovered by Mr. A. S. Keith on his farm near Freedom, Frontier County, Nebraska; was secured for the palaeontological collections of Hon. Charles H. Morrill by Mr. Phillip Orr, April 4, 1927; was briefly described and figured in a Museum …

Torynobelodon Loomisi, Gen Et. Sp. Nov., Erwin H. Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
The group of proboscideans which we have called the shovel-tuskers or Amebelodonts, was announced in June, 1927,1 following the discovery of Amebelodon fricki. In the field season of 1928, two additional species were found which are represented by mandibular tusks. One of these is a tip of a large and unique tusk, numbered 2-3-9-28, S. and L., the collectors being Bertrand Schultz and John LeMar, both of the class of 1931, the University of Nebraska. It was found within 200 to 300 yards of the spot on his farm where Mr. A. S. Keith, Freedom, Frontier County, Nebraska, found …
The Mandibular Tusks Of Amebelodon Fricki, Erwin H. Barbour
The Mandibular Tusks Of Amebelodon Fricki, Erwin H. Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
The ponderous mandible of the great shovel-tusked mastodon, Amebelodon fricki, was figured and described before it was practicable to remove the plaster cinches. In the meantime, this rare specimen has lain on its sand table awaiting the time when sections and casts could be made before mounting it permanently. A rare specimen, especially if heavy, unwieldy, and fragile, is rarely dismantled for study after it is mounted and installed in its case. A gelatine cast of the alveoli has been made, and through the assistance of Mr. Murray Jerome Roper, a cast of the left mandibular tusk has just been …
Preliminary Notice Of A New Proboscidean Amebelodon Fricki, Gen. Et Sp. Nov., Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Preliminary Notice Of A New Proboscidean Amebelodon Fricki, Gen. Et Sp. Nov., Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
Pursuant to advice from Mr. A. S. Keith of Freedom, Frontier County, Nebraska, the first Morrill Geological Expedition of the year was organized with Mr. Philip Orr in charge, and Mr. Keith's farm was visited at once, and on April 4th, 1927, the mandible, one rib, and a toe bone of a new proboscidean were procured.
Directory Of Certain Alumni The Department Of Geology And Geography The University Of Nebraska, E. F. Schramm
Directory Of Certain Alumni The Department Of Geology And Geography The University Of Nebraska, E. F. Schramm
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
In the Department of Geology and Geography, The University of Nebraska, there have been over 10,000 registrants between the years 1891 and 1926. So many inquiries have been received concerning alumni and their addresses that it seems advisable to publish this directory. The list is necessarily incomplete since many of the alumni have not informed the Department respecting their addresses and change of positions. Out of the total number of those who have pursued professional vocations the following have kept in close touch with the Department.
Archidiskodon Maibeni, Erwin H. Barbour
Archidiskodon Maibeni, Erwin H. Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
Archidiskodon maibeni was first described in Bulletin 10 of the Nebraska State Museum under the title" Skeletal Parts of the Columbian Mammoth, Elephas Maibeni." * Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn finds it expedient to found a new genus, Archidiskodon, to include the earlier and more primitive mammoths. Hence the change in the generic name. t'Mammoths and modern elephants have long been grouped together under 'the genus Elephas. Subdividing the genus does not necessarily do away with this convenient and rather familiar old arrangement.
Prosthennops Xiphodonticus, Sp. Nov. A New Fossil Peccary From Nebraska, Erwin H. Barbour
Prosthennops Xiphodonticus, Sp. Nov. A New Fossil Peccary From Nebraska, Erwin H. Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
During the field season of 1915, while collecting, a mile or two west of Valentine, Cherry County, Nebraska, Messrs. A. C. Whitford and J. B. Burnett secured for the Morrill-Maiben Palaeontological Collections, The Nebraska State Museum, The University of Nebraska, a finely preserved jaw of a small fossil hog, or peccary, belonging to the genus Frosthennops, accessioned No. 85-11-8-15B. & W.
The mandible under consideration was preserved in fine sand and is without blemish save that the condyle and coronoid are wanting. The dentition is perfect. In allusion to the sword-like tusks, which are unduly large, the species name xiphodonticus …
An American Fossil Giraffe, W. D. Matthew, E. H. Barbour
An American Fossil Giraffe, W. D. Matthew, E. H. Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
A fragment of the lower jaw of a large fossil mammal with two well-worn teeth was dug up in June 1918, at a depth of 20 feet, while digging a cess pool at Bradshaw, York County, Nebraska. This unique specimen, accessioned 7-7-18, was brought to the Nebraska State Museum by A. Archie Dorsey, and was donated by C. B. Palmet, both of Bradshaw. It undoubtedly occurred in loess, which is thickly as well. as extensively developed in this region. It is a ruminant jaw, the teeth preserved being P4 and m1. The characteristic pattern of the premolar excludes reference to …
Notes On Nebraska Fulgurites, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Notes On Nebraska Fulgurites, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
Some six or eight years ago the writer contemplated a study of Nebraska fulgurites, both in the field and in the laboratory. In the meantime however, it proves to be superfluous for, after supplying Mr. A. E. Anderson, of the American Museum of Natural History, with certain material and data he proceeded in a masterful way on a technical inquiry, and it is with pleasure that, although delayed in publication, his findings follow in Bulletin 7 of the Nebraska State Museum. The present paper will deal as briefly as possible with the mode of occurrence and gross structure.
Sand Fulgurites From Nebraska Their Structure And Formative Factors, Abram E. Anderson
Sand Fulgurites From Nebraska Their Structure And Formative Factors, Abram E. Anderson
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
So much has been written during the past century on the origin, structure and occurrence of fulgurites, or lightning tubes, found in many parts of the world that it would seem as though little remains to be added to the literature on the subject; but the discovery of a considerable number of unusually large and complete specimens in Holt and Stanton Counties, Nebraska, which exhibit remarkable definition of the particular features that have occasioned so much controversy regarding their formative processes, has added an important type to the representatives of this phenomenon and afforded clearer interpretation of the origin of …
Skeletal Parts Of The Columbian Mammoth Elephas Maibeni, Sp. Nov., Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Skeletal Parts Of The Columbian Mammoth Elephas Maibeni, Sp. Nov., Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
The skeletal parts of Elephas columbi are said to be unknown, although teeth, jaws, and skulls are common enough. Columbi is a mammoth of southern adaptation, hence its parts are found from Nebraska southward. Elephas columbi occurs abundantly throughout the State and many examples are preserved in the Nebraska State Museum, as will be seen in an accompanying list.
Tetrabelodon Abell, Sp. Nov., Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Tetrabelodon Abell, Sp. Nov., Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
Brown County, Nebraska, which has been so prolific of long-jawed mastodons, has yielded another form which seems to be new and which may throw light on certain small tusks that occur where Tetrabelodon bones abound. Heretofore, we have considered these to be embryonic, but they show apparent wear, and in other respects they are enigmatic, and at best, atypical. Tetrabelodon tusks proper, however young, are typical, and are obviously tusks in miniature. The tusks in doubt are of varying lengths and about the diameter of one's thumb, but taper backwards, are worn to a bluntly oblique point, and are slightly …

Hackberry Conglomerate A New Nebraska Rock, Erwin Hinckey Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
In the cabinets of the Nebraska State Museum are several excellent rock specimens, which at first sight pass for pisolite, which they simulate. Scrutiny shows that they are hackberry seeds in sand, cemented by lime and clay into a firm, compact rock. The term hackberry conglomerate seems apropos.

Manganese Fulgurites, Harold J. Cook
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
During August, 1924, while doing reconnaisance work near the head of Chugwater Creek, Wyoming, on the ranch of Mr. J. L. Jordon, the writer's attention was called to some unusual and interesting specimens found in a limited area, perhaps an acre or so, on the slope of the small butte flanking the Chugwater Valley. The hills of the region are of Tertiary age, the particular spot under consideration being Oligocene, the Brule stage, or Oreodon beds.
A Preliminary Report On The Nebraska State Museum, Erwin H. Barbour
A Preliminary Report On The Nebraska State Museum, Erwin H. Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
The Nebraska State Museum has been established a sufficient number of years to make it widely known throughout the state, both by reputation and by personal visits. Incident to a growing clientele and an expanding correspondence, it is expedient that a concise circular letter be issued in bulletin form. Such a pamphlet can be promptly forwarded to inquirers and will offer obvious advantages over individual replies.
