504    Includes bibliographical references and index. 
505 0  History of paleontologic and geologic studies in the Big 
       Badlands -- Sedimentary geology of the Big Badlands ; 
       Paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic interpretations from 
       paleosols -- Postsdepositional processes and erosions of 
       the White River Badlands -- Bones that turned to stone :

       paleoenvironments ; The Big Badlands in space and time -- 
       National Park Service policy and the managemeny of fossil 
       resources. 
520    The forbidding Big Badlands in Western South Dakota 
       contain the richest fossil beds in the world. Even today 
       these rocks continue to yield new specimens brought to 
       light by snowmelt and rain washing away soft rock 
       deposited on a floodplain long ago. The quality and 
       quantity of the fossils are superb: most of the species to
       be found there are known from hundreds of specimens. The 
       fossils in the White River Group (and similar deposits in 
       the American west) preserve the entire late Eocene through
       the middle Oligocene, roughly 35-30 million years ago and 
       more than 30 million years after non-avian dinosaurs 
       became extinct. The fossils provide a detailed record of a
       period of abrupt global cooling and what happened to 
       creatures who lived through it. The book provides a 
       comprehensive reference to the sediments and fossils of 
       the Big Badlands and will complement, enhance, and in some
       ways replace the classic 1920 volume by Cleophas C. 
       O'Harra. Because the book focuses on a national treasure, 
       it touches on National Park Service management policies 
       that help protect such significant fossils.
