Mima Mounds: The Case for Polygenesis and Bioturbation

Cover for "Mima Mounds"

Editors: Jennifer L. Horwath Burnham and Donald L. Johnson

This volume grew out of a symposium titled, “The origin of Mima mounds and similar micro-relief features: Multidisciplinary perspectives,” and a similarly themed field trip, both held at the 2008 GSA Annual Meeting. The editors of this volume firmly believe that Mima (pimple) mounds, with a contentious explanatory history that has covered nearly two centuries, deserve a closer look. The clarifying introduction, six chapters, and extensive appendices (including a never before published paper by Roald H. Fryxell) are sure to both resolve questions and inspire debate.
