Extract

The Green River Shales of Wyoming have long been noted for their numerous and beautifully preserved fossil fishes. Fragmentary traces of bird-remains have been met with in the same horizon from time to time since the year 1869, when the first fossil feather reported from North America was obtained by Dr. F. V. Hayden.
