Greenlandite (fuchsite-quartz gneiss) (2.7 cm across at its widest) from the Precambrian of southwestern Greenland.  Green = fuchsite; gray = quartz; a few small, scattered pyrite crystals (brassy gold-colored) are also visible.


Attractive greenish-colored gneisses in southwestern Greenland that contain the minerals fuchsite (green) and quartz (gray) have been informally called greenlandite.  Fuchsite is a chromian muscovite mica (K(Al,Cr)2AlSi3O10(OH,F)2 - potassium chromium hydroxy-fluoro-aluminosilicate); it is typically encountered in schistose rocks.
Greenland greenlandite is part of a 3.8 billion year old, highly metamorphosed succession of rocks.  These represent the oldest known supracrustal rocks on Earth (the oldest crustal Earth rocks include 4.03 billion year old Acasta Gneiss, 4.28 b.y. rocks from the eastern Hudson Bay area, and 4.45-4.55 b.y. rocks in the subsurface of Baffin Island, Canada).
Locality: undisclosed locality in the Godthåbsfjord area or Nuuk area, southwestern Greenland.

Age: Eoarchean boundary, 3.8 billion years.

Geographic and stratigraphic relationships of the holotype EMK 0012 and the Loki Quarry in northern Montana. (A) Regional relationships between the cross-border paleontological sites in the Oldman and Judith River formations along the Milk River and in Kennedy Coulee in Alberta and Montana. (B) Generalized stratigraphic section in the Kennedy Coulee area modified after Goodwin & Deino (1989) and Rogers, Eberth & Ramezani (2023) with the relationships between the Foremost and Oldman formations in Canada and the Judith River Formation in Montana. Relative placements of important taxa in this area are indicated. Position of 40Ar/39Ar dates originally obtained by Goodwin & Deino (1989) are shown in relation to the new U–Pb CA-ID-TIMS date for KC061517-1 by Ramezani et al. (2022). Bentonite ash beds are only 5 to 7 cm thick so they are exaggerated for clarity. Scale bars delineated in map view are indicated kilometers and in meters stratigraphically.

Text Appearing Before Image: 
This season of 1921 George Sternberg became the first dinosaur col- lector on the Red Deer River to have his work recorded in motion pictures. This happened by a curious error. The Dominion Motion Picture Bureau, predecessor of the National Film Board of Canada, had decided to make a short motion picture based on the work being done by the Geological Survey of Canada in the collecting and displaying of Canadian dinosaurs. The camera party sent to Alberta was naturally supposed to visit the Geological Survey party under Charles M. Sternberg, but local directions sent them to the camp of George Sternberg. So this excellent little film records field work by the University of Alberta party and preparation being done at the National Museum of Canada in Ottawa. That winter George Sternberg continued the preparation of the speci- mens obtained during the two preceding field seasons, but in the spring he resigned to accept a position with the Field Museum of Natural History of Chicago, under Elmer S. Riggs. The summer of 1922 was the last time that the eldest of the Sternberg sons worked on the Red Deer River, his collec- tion going to Chicago. However, he returned to Edmonton for several months in 1935, to complete the preparation of the collection that he brought together in 1920 and 1921. When George Sternberg left the Geological Survey of Canada in 1918, the only one of the four Sternbergs remaining at Ottawa was Charles Mortram Sternberg, the second son of C. H. Sternberg. Actually, Charles had his first independent expedition to the Red Deer badlands in 1917, C. M. Sternberg ami G. E. Lindblad working on the skull of a horned dinosaur (Centrasaurus sp.), Oldman formation, Red Deer River, 1917. N.M.C., No. 39994.

Researchers have described a single dinosaur caudal vertebra (tail bone) from Denman Island (British Columbia, Canada).  It has been identified as an ornithomimosaur caudal vertebra. The fossil, thought to represent a bone from the middle part of the tail, is only the second dinosaur fossil identified from the Upper Cretaceous Nanaimo Group. In addition, it
