A New Giant Camel, Titanotylopus Nebraskensis, Gen. Et Sp. Nov., Erwin H. Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz
A New Giant Camel, Titanotylopus Nebraskensis, Gen. Et Sp. Nov., Erwin H. Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
The purpose of this bulletin is to figure and describe a .amel brought to light in the field season of 1933, which seems to be the giant of all camels found in the State. The specimen consists of the right ramus with the symphysial portion. The mandible is 26% inches long, or about the length of one's outstretched arm to the finger tips. This jaw is nine inches longer than that of Camelops kansanus. Such an extraordinary jaw indicates a camel nearly twice as large as Alticamelus altus. In reference to its unusual size we are proposing for it the …

A New Rhinoceros Mount, Trigonias Osborni, Erwin H. Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
On February 9, 1934, a pair of rhinoceroses, Trigonias osborni, was installed in the Founder's Room in Morrill Hall, the Nebraska State Museum. They are figured and accorded brief consideration here in order to maintain the printed records of such acquisitions in the Nebraska State Museum. The two skeletons, carefully posed, were put in the south wall case to be associated with a pair of Diceratherium from Morrill County. and the mounted skeletons of two Brown County Te leo ceras. In this gallery two long built-in wall cases insure ample facilities for the proper installation of six rhinoceroses, for each …
A New Ovibovine, Symbos Convexifrons, Sp. Nov., Erwin H. Barbour
A New Ovibovine, Symbos Convexifrons, Sp. Nov., Erwin H. Barbour
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
In Bulletin 25, entitled The Musk-oxen of Nebraska, the writer figured and briefly catalogued the ovibovines of this State as known at that date. In the meantime an interesting new form unlike that of any species falling within our experience presents itself from the Pleistocene of Cherry County, Nebraska. The new specimen cannot be assigned a place in any of the four following genera: Preptoceras, Euceratherium, Ovibos, or Bootherium, but may possibly be referable to the genus Symbos, to which we are assigning it provisionally. It is so unlike Symbos, however, that it may be a distinct genus. …

At approximately 10:30 a. m., mountain standard time, on August 8, 1933, a large meteor, traveling in a westerly direction, exploded over the panhandle of Nebraska. The phenomenon was witnessed by many citizens throughout the region, and by a number of students from the University of Nebraska, who were engaged at the time in palaeontological field work in northwestern Nebraska .

The Geology And Mammalian Fauna Of The Pleistocene Of Nebraska Part I Outline Of Pleistocene Geology Of Nebraska Part Ii The Pleistocene Mammals Of Nebraska, A. L. Lugn, C. Bertrand Schultz
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
The object of the present paper is to provide a suitable brief statement of the present state of knowledge of the Pleistocene geology of Nebraska, for an adequate understanding of the Pleistocene Mammal list, by Mr. C. Bertrand Schultz, which forms Part II of this report. The "outline" is necessarily brief and does not contain many detailed sections, nor lengthy discussions of controversial points. It is lacking in adequate detailed descriptions of new formations and may not be entirely convincing to many readers. The only excuse which the writer can offer for the shortcomings of the following pages is the …
