A New Fossil Peccary, Prosthennops Niobrarensis, From Brown County, Nebraska, Edwin H. Colbert Jan 1935

A New Fossil Peccary, Prosthennops Niobrarensis, From Brown County, Nebraska, Edwin H. Colbert

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

During the summer of 1929, the writer, accompanied by Mr. Paul O. McGrew of the University of Nebraska, discovered during the course of excavations for fossil vertebrates in northern Brown County, Nebraska, a fairly complete peccary skull referable to the genus Prosthennops. This skull, due to its several unusual characters, as well as to its fair degree of completeness, would seem to warrant a special and a rather detailed description. Consequently the specimen has been kindly turned over to me by Dr. E. H. Barbour, Director of the Nebraska State Museum, not only for the purpose of the present …

A New Miocene Dog, Mesocyon Geringensis, Sp. Nov., Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz Jan 1935

A New Miocene Dog, Mesocyon Geringensis, Sp. Nov., Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz

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

A field party from the Nebraska State Museum consisting of Messrs. E. L. Blue, Frank Crabill, Loren Eiseley, and C. Bertrand Schultz, on August 28, 1931, was fortunate in finding the remains of a new Mesocyon. This specimen, number 4-28-8-31, the Nebraska State Museum, was found in the Gering formation (lower Miocene), fifteen feet above the Brule, 400 feet west of the road in Redington Gap, near the center of the S. 1/2, sec. 14, T. 19 N., R. 52 W., west of Bridgeport, Morrill County, Nebraska.

Gnathabelodon Thorpei, Gen. Et Sp. Nov. A New Mud-Grubbing Mastodon, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, George F. Sternberg

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

In February, 1932, while opening a gravel pit to get material for highway construction, the skull, tusks, and mandible of a new longirostral mastodont were found by Robert Arnold on his ranch, Sec. 24, T. 12 S., R. 22 W., 1 1/2 miles due east of Ogallah, Trego County, western Kansas. This point is located about 20 miles west and three miles north of Hays, the seat of the Fort Hays Kansas State College, in the museum of which the above mentioned specimen is mounted and exhibited. When unexpectedly exposed by Mr. Arnold and his associates, the great skull was …

Pre-Pennsylvanian Stratigraphy Of Nebraska, Alvin Leonard Lugn Dec 1934

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 Nov 1934

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 May 1934

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 May 1934

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 Feb 1934

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 .

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 Jan 1934

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 (1924–2023)

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 …
