Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument
The Florissant Formation is a sedimentary geologic formation outcropping around Florissant, Teller County, Colorado. The formation is noted for the abundant and exceptionally preserved insect and plant fossils that are found in the mudstones and shales. Based on argon radiometric dating, the formation is Eocene (approximately 34 million years old ) in age and has been interpreted as a lake environment. The fossils have been preserved because of the interaction of the volcanic ash from the nearby Thirtynine Mile volcanic field with diatoms in the lake, causing a diatom bloom. As the diatoms fell to the bottom of the lake, any plants or animals that had recently died were preserved by the diatom falls. Fine layers of clays and muds interspersed with layers of ash form "paper shales" holding beautifully-preserved fossils. The Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument is a national monument established to preserve and study the geology and history of the area. History The name ''F ...

Florissant, Missouri
Florissant () is a city in St. Louis County, Missouri, within Greater St. Louis. It is a middle class, second-ring northern suburb of St. Louis.

Some historians believe it was settled about the same time as St. Louis. The first civil government was formed in 1786. Spanish archives in Havana reveal 40 people and seven plantations were in Florissant at the time of the 1787 census. The village, called "Fleurissant", meaning "Blooming" in English, by its French settlers and "St. Ferdinand" by its Spanish rulers, was a typical French village with its commons and common fields.

Florissantia (plant)
''Florissantia'' is an extinct genus of flowering plants in the Malvaceae subfamily Sterculioideae known from western North America and far eastern Asia. Flower, fruit, and pollen compression fossils have been found in formations ranging between the Early Eocene through to the Early Oligocene periods. The type species is ''Florissantia speirii'' and three additional species are known, ''Florissantia ashwillii'', ''Florissantia quilchenensis'', and ''Florissantia sikhote-alinensis''. Distribution Fossils of ''Florissantia'' have been found in Early Eocene to Middle Oligocene localities, including fossil beds in Alaska, British Columbia, Colorado, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming and the Russian far east. The type species ''F. speirii'' is known from a number of formations in the west, with the type locality being the Florissant Formation of Colorado. The formation is composed of successive lake deposits resulting from a volcanic debris flow damming a valley. When ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Florissantia (planthopper)
''Florissantia'' is an extinct monotypic genus of planthopper in the dictyopharid subfamily Dictyopharinae. The single species, ''Florissantia elegans,'' was described by Samuel Hubbard Scudder (1890) from fossils found in the Florissant Formation of Colorado. History and classification At the time of description, both the holotype and paratype of ''F. elegans'' were deposited in the paleoentomology collections at Princeton University, with Samuel Scudder's type description of the genus and species being published in a ''United States Geological Survey of the Territories'' 1890 monograph. Scudder named the monotypic genus ''Florissantia'' after the type locality of Florissant, but did not elaborate on the etymology of the species name ''elegans''. At the time of description Scudder placed the genus into "subfamily Cixiida" of the "family Fulgorina". The family was later elevated to Superfamily treatment as Fulgoroidea encompassing all planthoppers, with subfamily "Cix ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
