Tertiary Geology
4 messages in this thread
Is there anyone who is interested in tertiary geology and paleaontology? I am a
member of a group based in England but with a worldwide membership called the
tertiary research group. If anyone would like to know more or would like to
exchange information on tertiary fossils or stratigraphy we would like to hear
from them. We have a lot of projects on the go but many are especially keen on
fossil sharks, mammals, birds and molluscs. Mike Salmon

There is a lot of tertiary outcrop here in western Canada, much of it
fossiliferous, including fairly diverse mammalian faunas (Paleocene, Oligocene,
Miocene), plants and some insects. If any of your members are interested in
this area, I can probably scrounge up some references for further reading.

Howard,
Thanks for your reply. I was out in B.C. a few years ago and found a
few good plant fossils. If there are any references I can help you with or any
introductions to other tertiary speciallists just ask.

Mike – Welcome to the Forum! May I suggest you stroll over to the Dinosaur
Forum (Go Dino) for further Paleo topics. I find this forum really great for
geological topics, but for paleo, I usually roost over in Dino.
I live in TertiaryLand, the Pacific Northwest. About 80% of the state is
Tertiary, many volcanics, but some wonderful Miocene and Oligocene marine
deposits. Also some Late Cretaceous/Early Paleocene that is rich in plants.
