Description
Abundant late Oligocene paleosols in eastern Oregon compose a paleoclimatic archive rivaling the resolution of deep-sea cores, recording 105 Milankovitch-scale cycles over the 5.1 m.y. duration of the middle John Day Formation. Paleoclimatic cycles are apparent from the fossil record of snails, mammals, trace fossils, soil structure, depth to calcic horizon of paleosols, and carbon and oxygen isotopic composition of pedogenic carbonate. Interpreted Oligocene alternation between semiarid...[Show more]
