RUI: Magnetostratigraphy of the Later Eocene Uinta Forma- tion, Utah

将对该地区进行磁性地层学研究。 始新世中晚期Uinta组，Uinta盆地， 东北部的犹他州，这是经典的收集区， 北美洲始新世晚期的哺乳动物群。 三个部分 将被用来联系大多数化石地点 Wagonhound Wagon-Kennedy's Basin;乌赖北部;印第安人 峡谷，那里有几个K/Ar年龄。 这些 磁性地层剖面将与弗林的工作联系在一起 （1986）和Walton（1986）对怀俄明州相似年龄地层的研究， 加州和德克萨斯州，以完善中晚始新世哺乳动物 北美的生物年代学 反过来，这将使 始新世晚期哺乳动物群的变化与 世界范围内的时间尺度，并研究哺乳动物区系如何应对 整个第三纪最显著的气候变化

Magnetostratigraphic studies will be conducted on the middle and late Eocene Uinta Formation, Uinta Basin, northeastern Utah, which is the classic collecting area for later Eocene mammal faunas in North America. Three sections will be taken to tie in most of the fossil localities: Wagonhound Canyon-Kennedy's Basin; north of Ouray; and Indian Canyon, where there are several K/Ar dates. These magnetostratigraphic sections will be tied to the work of Flynn (1986) and Walton (1986) on similar-aged strata of Wyoming, California, and Texas, to refine the middle-late Eocene mammal biochronology of North America. This, in turn, will allow later Eocene mammalian faunal changes to be tied to the worldwide timescale and examine how mammal faunas responded to the most significant change of climate in the entire Tertiary.
