The upcoming issue of PNAS has an article documenting amazing preservation of a Permian paleobotanical locality in China, the result of rapid burial by volcanic ash. The actual article is not up yet but you can read about the study here.

About Me

View my complete profile.

My name is Bill Parker and I am a paleontologist in northeastern Arizona. While my day job mainly involves roaming the badlands of Petrified Forest National Park picking up bit after bit of phytosaur scrap (and finding some good stuff in-between), thus my main focus is the paleontology of the Triassic Period. However, I also have a very strong interest in Civil War history, and am a direct descendent of veterans who fought on both sides. Note: This is a personal site and all posts are my own opinions and do not represent the opinions of the National Park Service.
