Author: Greg J. Retallack
A look at the paleosols of one of America's most interesting and popular park areas. The late Eocene and Oligocene White River and lower Arikaree Groups in the Pinnacles area of the Badlands are largely superimposed fossil soils (87 soils in a 143-m stratigraphic section).
The author describes the features of the paleosols and provides descriptions and classifications of 10 paleosol series, which are standard mapping units used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Many illustrations and useful tables.
