Fritz, Will. Reinterpretation of the depositional environment of the Yellowstone fossil forests.
In a recent study of the Eocene Lamar River Formation in Yellowstone National Park, Fritz (1980b) maintained that many of the horizons of petrified wood formerly regarded as fossil forests are accumulations of plant material transported down the flanks of volcanoes by mud flows and streams. His concept of the depositional environment of the Lamar River Formation appears to be well supported by the evidence of sedimentary structures, and many (especially horizontal and inclined) logs were obviously transported. This article contains commentary on Frtiz's article by Mr. Retallack and a reply from William Fritz.
