Clarno reply

[Ted_Fremd@xxxxxxx (Ted Fremd)]

     Gary:
     
     I have recently written a review (Or. Geol.) of an excellent 
     publication by Steven Manchester, "Fruits and Seeds of the Middle 
     Eocene Nut Beds Flora, Clarno Formation, Oregon".  1994.  
     Palaeontographica Americana, Number 58.  This has the best plates & 
     taxonomic revisions that one could want; also complete literature to 
     get to the older material, such as Bone's classic color atlas of the 
     nuts (now systematically obsolete).  Steve's work is principally 
     concerned with the classic "Nut Beds" site, but other localities 
     outside the national monument are reviewed as well.
     
     cheers

     Would anyone have references to papers published on the fossil seeds 
     and nuts from the Clarno formation.  I am particulairly interested in 
     references which aid in identification of seeds and nuts.
     
     Thanks
