TRACY, Krisha Hansel, Biology, Georgia College & State Univ, 107 Walker Drive, Milledgeville, GA 31061, khansel77@hotmail.com. The paleontological resources that occur throughout Grand Teton National Park are identified and listed as a comprehensive paleontological survey that has been long overdue. The shallow seas that transgressed and regressed in this area during a time span of 535 million years has resulted in over 26,000 ft of sedimentary rocks, many of which are fossiliforous. Formations from within the park have yielded a variety of invertebrate, vertebrate, and botanical fossils. The types of fossils, their locations, and the formations from which they were extracted are included in the survey to provide a greater understanding of the richness of Grand Teton National Parks paleontological resources. This survey also encourages an awareness of the protection and management of these resources while identifying possible hazards and solutions for park officials. | ||
