Summary[edit]
DescriptionRattlesnake Formation Mural.jpg |
Turtle Cove Member Mural from the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center, painted by Roger Witter. Life in the Rattlesnake came to an abrupt end seven million years ago as a stratovolcano in the Harney Basin (near current-day Burns) erupted, as pictured in the mural below. Tephra was expelled from the mouth of the volcano, coming down like a fiery hail on the land. The eruption created a pyroclastic flow which attained speeds over 400 mph and spewed hot, ashy gas that reached nearly 1,800 °F. This event cause nearly 13,000 square miles of Eastern Oregon to be covered in an ashy tuff that destroyed everything in its path. Dominant Fossils Found in this Assemblage: Vulpes stenognathus (fox) Indarctos oregonensis (bear with long legs, short muzzle) Teleoceras cf. fossiger (grazing rhinoceros. Short legs, barrel chested built like a hippo) Mylohyus longirostris (peccary, pig-like animal) Pliohippus spectans (Single-toed horse, equine ungulate) Amebelodon sp.(genus gomphotheriidae, four tusked elephant relative) Hemiauchenia cf. vera (camel, long neck, looked similar to a llama but with more camelidae features) Machairodus sp. (saber tooth feline, large. Similar in size to living panthers) Bunch grasses Mixed forest (Populus, Alnus, Salix, etc.) |
