A New Longisrostral Mastodon From Cherry County, Nebraska, E. H. Barbour Jan 1914

A New Longisrostral Mastodon From Cherry County, Nebraska, E. H. Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division

During the season of 1914, field work in the fossil regions was pushed less vigorously than usual owing to lack of funds. N evertheless some interesting and valuable material was obtained by the N ebraska Geological Survey, notably the great mandible of a new longirostral mastodon from Cherry County, together with associated tusk and bones.

The mastodon constituting the basis of this paper was found in the exposnres bordering the Snake River in section 33, range 30 west, and township 32 north. The talus slope was strewn with fragments of the tusk and bone of a mastodon. This led the …

Cement Manufacture In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour Jan 1913

Cement Manufacture In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division

It is the purpose of this paper to briefly review the history of cement manufacture in the State, to call attention to certain promising exposures of cement rock, and to report upon the first modern cement mill in Nebraska. Not that this State has been slow in recognizing cement as one of the most important modern constructional materials; or slow to recognize the need of developing its natural resources; but due rather to a combination of circumstances. For at least twenty years, many Nebraskans have had in mind the importance of establishing cement plants in this State. Furthermore encouraging inducements …

Nebraska is centrally located in the mainland of the United States, being a part of the long slope of the High Plains Regions.


Coal In Nebraska, Roy V. Pepperberg Jan 1910

Coal In Nebraska, Roy V. Pepperberg

Conservation and Survey Division

Until February, 1906, Nebraska was termed "the state without a mine," and may still be called the state with but a single mine, and yet it would be impossible to tell how much prospecting has been done, or to estimate the number of thousands of dollars that have been spent in this state trying to develop paying mines from the thin beds of coal discovered throughout various parts of the state in the Carboniferous and Cretadeous formations.

The Sand And Gravel Resources And Industries Of Nebraska, George Evart Condra Jan 1908

The Sand And Gravel Resources And Industries Of Nebraska, George Evart Condra

George E. Condra Publications

Sand and gravel are Nebraska's most important mineral resources. The extensive use which is made of these materials in the building and trade industries not only in our own but in adjoining states, is a factor of economic importance in the industrial development of Nebraska.


Skeletal Parts Of Moropus, Erwin Hinckley Barbour Jan 1908

Skeletal Parts Of Moropus, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division

In the foregoing publication, it was announced that the skull of Moropus had been discovered. Heretofore the genus had been known chiefly by scattered teeth and fragments, mostly toe bones, but now that the collections of Hon. Charles H. Morrill, Nebraska State Museum, have the skeletal parts necessary for the restoration of this remarkable animal, it seems advisable to supplement the brief illustrated report concerning the skull of Moropus with a similar paper concerning its skeletal parts.


Tests Of The Strength Of Concrete Jan 1908

Tests Of The Strength Of Concrete

Conservation and Survey Division

Since the use of concrete is becoming so general it seems quite appropriate that the tests of concrete in which any Nebraska material forms a constituent part should be recorded where they may be obtained by those interested.. The following tests were made in the Testing Laboratory of the University of Nebraska, and though very limited in number may be expressive of the qualities of concrete mixed from these materials.

Biennial Report Work Of The State Geological Survey In Brief, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division

The Nebraska Geological Survey as now constituted has been in operation since 1891, but it has enjoyed state aid during the past four years only. Considering the size of the commonwealth and the limited appropriations for geological work, unusual progress has been made.


Evidence Of Loess Man In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour Jan 1907

Evidence Of Loess Man In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division

Unconsciously or otherwise an investigator is often influenced to see that which seems confirmatory rather than that which is contradictory to his conceptions and beliefs. But in conducting the search for evidence of human remains in the Pleistocene the writer has striven against this psychological tendency and has aimed to be severely critical and exact.
