Then, in 1958, moissanite was found in the upper mantle Green River Formation in Wyoming and, the following year, as inclusions in the ultramafic rock kimberlite from a diamond mine in Yakutia in the Russian Far East. [10] Yet the existence of moissanite in nature was questioned as late as 1986 by the American geologist Charles Milton. [11]
As developed between 1894 and 1909, the Kansan Stage was based on a model that assumed that the Pleistocene deposits contained only two glacial tills and one volcanic ash bed within Nebraska and Kansas. Of these two proposed glacial tills, the Kansan till, which defined the Kansan Stage, was the upper of the two glacial tills and the Nebraskan ...
Later, the Yarmouth (Yarmouthian) stage in Illinois was defined on the basis of the Yarmouth Paleosol (Soil), developed in the surface of what were thought at that time to be "Kansan" glacial tills, and buried by Illionian glacial tills of the Glasford Formation in southeast Iowa and east-central Illinois. At this time, it was incorrectly ...

For example, instead of two glaciations having occurred prior to the Illinoian Stage, researchers found that 11 distinct glaciations had occurred. In addition, what was presumed to have been a single volcanic ash bed, which was used to correlate and differentiate between Kansan and Nebraskan glacial deposits, was found to be three volcanic ash ...

The Cambrian life of Kansas left behind few fossils. [2] The state's sea levels began to fluctuate during the Carboniferous period. [4] While the state was still covered by the sea, it was home to a rich variety of marine invertebrates. [4] During the later half of the Carboniferous, the Pennsylvanian, nautiloids could be found in Franklin ...
