Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth examination of the rich fossil plant material discovered in the gorge of the Columbia River, in Oregon and Washington. The detailed study of this collection, found within the Eagle Creek formation, has revealed that these sediments were laid down near a volcanic mountain range during a period of intense volcanic activity. The author provides a thorough analysis of the composition of the flora, including ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms, with a particular focus on the arborescent dicotyledons. Through careful comparison with modern species, the author determines that the Eagle Creek flora bears a striking resemblance to the flora of the eastern United States, indicating a similar temperate climate and moisture availability. This book adds significantly to the understanding of the plant life of the northwestern United States during the Miocene epoch and provides valuable insights into the paleoenvironmental conditions of the region.
