New Revision: Hell Creek Fossil Plants List

[Phillip Bigelow <bh162@scn.org>]

PART 5.             Plants from the Hell Creek Formation
        Cretaceous "Hell Creek Faunal Facies"; Late Maastrichtian
            Compiled by, and comments by Phillip Bigelow (1997)
                             Version 0.0.1

I downloaded, weeded, and compiled this stuff off the Yale gopher
server about 3 years ago. The fossils were mostly collected by
Dr. Kirk Johnson. Most plants are from North Dakota (Slope County)
and South Dakota, with a few from Montana.
Expect this list to change *greatly* in future
revisions, as I slowly remove all non-Montana taxa, and
add new taxa from different authors.  The 
ultimate goal is to have a list of plants from only the
Montana paleoecosystem. Future revisions of this list will
also include the common names of these flora. I only
recognised a few taxa (one of which was Cannabaceae...go figure).
Stay tuned.
