Three New Species Of Petrified Dicotyledonous Wood From The Lower Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation Of Utah, Gregory F. Thayn
Three New Species Of Petrified Dicotyledonous Wood From The Lower Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation Of Utah, Gregory F. Thayn
Theses and Dissertations
Two genera and three species of definite fossil angiosperm wood have been identified from the diverse flora of the Lower Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah for the first time. Well preserved fossil dicotyledonous woods have been found in association with the fern Tempskya and conifer woods at two sites, one east of Castle Dale, Utah 1 and one east of Ferron, Utah. Petrified logs were collected from a horizon between ten and thirty feet below the overlying Dakota Sandstone at the Castle Dale site. Dakota Sandstone is missing at the Ferron site, but the wood occurs on the surface …
Distribution And Relationships Of Utah Brome Grasses In Western North America, Jerry B. Anderson
Distribution And Relationships Of Utah Brome Grasses In Western North America, Jerry B. Anderson
Theses and Dissertations
A considerable amount of study material has beccme available since the revision of the genus in 1900 by Shear, and the revision of the section Bromopsis in 1952 by Wagnon. A number of cytological studies have been done in recent years; and Wagnon's work pointed out the need for a comprehensive study of the entire genus. This study is a taxonomic revision of the Genus Bromus for the State of Utah, and contains illustrations and descriptions of the species; synonomy; distribution maps; and discussions of many of the important aspects of the economics, ecology, and historical treatment. I have recognized …

This algal flora consisted of 27 genera and 36 species of Chlorophyta, 2 genera and 2 species of Euglenophyta, 32 genera and 106 species of Bacillariophyceae (including 16 genera and 33 species of soil diatoms), 1 genus and 2 species of Chrysophyta excluding diatoms and 6 genera and 14 species of Cyanophyta. Diatoms were the predominent algae in this study. Chlorococcum humicola, Vaucheria geminata, Amphora normani, Hantzschia amphioxys and Oscillatoria sancta were prominent in the greenhouses.
