Alluvium

Alluvium is loose clay, silt, sand, or gravel that has been deposited by running water in a stream bed, on a floodplain, in an alluvial fan or beach, or in similar settings.

See Plush Ranch Formation and Alluvium

The Arikareean North American Stage on the geologic timescale is the North American faunal stage according to the North American Land Mammal Ages chronology (NALMA), typically set from 30,600,000 to 20,800,000 years BP, a period of. Plush Ranch Formation and Arikareean are Aquitanian (stage), Miocene Series of North America and Oligocene Series of North America.

Basalt

Basalt is an aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low-viscosity lava rich in magnesium and iron (mafic lava) exposed at or very near the surface of a rocky planet or moon.

Basement (geology)

In geology, basement and crystalline basement are crystalline rocks lying above the mantle and beneath all other rocks and sediments.

Blattodea

Blattodea is an order of insects that contains cockroaches and termites.

Chattian

The Chattian is, in the geologic timescale, the younger of two ages or upper of two stages of the Oligocene Epoch/Series.

Conglomerate (geology)

Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock that is composed of a substantial fraction of rounded to subangular gravel-size clasts.

Coprolite

A coprolite (also known as a coprolith) is fossilized feces.

Diligencia Formation

The Diligencia Formation (Td) is a geologic formation cropping out in the Orocopia Mountains in southern California. Plush Ranch Formation and Diligencia Formation are alluvial deposits, Aquitanian (stage), Chattian Stage, geologic formations of California, Lacustrine deposits, Miocene California, Miocene Series of North America, Oligocene Series of North America, Oligocene volcanism, Paleogene California, paleontology in California, Sandstone formations of the United States, Shale formations of the United States and Siltstone formations.

Early Miocene

The Early Miocene (also known as Lower Miocene) is a sub-epoch of the Miocene Epoch made up of two stages: the Aquitanian and Burdigalian stages. Plush Ranch Formation and Early Miocene are Aquitanian (stage).

Evaporite

An evaporite is a water-soluble sedimentary mineral deposit that results from concentration and crystallization by evaporation from an aqueous solution.

Fossil

A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.

Fossilworks

Fossilworks is a portal which provides query, download, and analysis tools to facilitate access to the Paleobiology Database, a large relational database assembled by hundreds of paleontologists from around the world.

Geological formation

A geological formation, or simply formation, is a body of rock having a consistent set of physical characteristics (lithology) that distinguishes it from adjacent bodies of rock, and which occupies a particular position in the layers of rock exposed in a geographical region (the stratigraphic column).

Geosphere

There are several conflicting usages of geosphere, variously defined.

Lake

A lake is an often naturally occurring, relatively large and fixed body of water on or near the Earth's surface.

Limestone

Limestone (calcium carbonate) is a type of carbonate sedimentary rock which is the main source of the material lime.
