Here's a section of a page I recently uploaded--about a specific
superior middle Miocene paleontologic site in Nevada's Great Basin
Desert--a place that yields many 14.5 million year-old fossil insects
preserved along the natural bedding planes of "paper shales"--successive
detrital accumulations so thinly bedded than each individual layer is no
thicker than a proverbial sheet of paper.
