Virtual Tour of the Johnston Geology Museum
Stop 7 -the cretaceous fossils of kansas.
The “western interior seaway” occupied Kansas about 75 million years ago during the Cretaceous. The Cretaceous fossils obtained from this environment in western Kansas include some of the worlds best examples of both flying (Pteranodon) and swimming (Mosasaur) creatures . There’s a lot to see in this display too. Click on the image below, enlarge your screen, and review the annotations in sequence, before attempting to answer the questions.
Question #22: What is the approximate range in years (beginning to end) of the Cretaceous Period? Click here to view a: Geologic Time Scale
Question #23: What environment were these fossils living in (Continental, Marine or Transitional)?
Question #24: What type of rock is the Cretaceous of Kansas famous for?
Question #25: Why are flying reptile fossils found in these Cretaceous marine deposits.
STOP 8 - The Great Plains
GEOL 751 Physical Hydrogeology
dr. marcia k. schulmeister, department of geology, university of kansas, u.s.a..
This course introduces basic principles of hydrogeology that are of relevance to a wide array of problems in environmental science and resource management. Topics such as the hydrologic budget, mechanics of surface and ground water movement, water resource assessment and allocation, causes and abatement of pollution, and consequences of human activities on hydrologic systems are emphasized in the context of their role in evaluating and addressing some of Earth's most pressing environmental issues.
The course is taught via the internet and is available to students enrolled in both on-campus and off-campus programs at KU.
Please log in to Canvas on the first day of classes to find instructions for viewing the first lecture and completing the first assignment.
