Pre-Pennsylvanian Stratigraphy Of Nebraska, Alvin Leonard Lugn

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Sioux quartzite, granite, and schistose metamorphic rocks have been recognized in the pre-Cambrian. The present irregularities, the "basins and highs," on the pre- Cambrian surface are the result of erosion and a long structural history. In general succeedingly younger rocks rest unconformably by overlap against the pre-Cambrian "highs." The principal erosional and structural "highs" are: the "Nemaha mountains," the Cambridge anticline, the Chadron dome, and the Sioux Falls area. "Basins," or saddle-like depressions, occur on the pre-Cambrian surface between the "highs." The largest of these trends from southeast to northwest across the central part of Nebraska. The history of each …

The Relation Of Drouth To Water-Use In Nebraska, G. E. Condra

George E. Condra Publications

Three severe drouths have occurred in Nebraska and adjacent states within the past eighty years, and less severe ones have come at moderately regular intervals. Their influence on the agricultural development of the state is well known, but their relation to water supply in general is not so well understood. This paper is a brief review of the relation of drouth to soil moisture, surace water, and groundwater supplies.

A New Giant Camel, Titanotylopus Nebraskensis, Gen. Et Sp. Nov., Erwin H. Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

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 (1924–2023)

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

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

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. …

The Nebraska Meteor And Meteorite Of August 8, 1933, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

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 .
