The Smoky Hill Chalk Member of the Niobrara Chalk formation is a Cretaceous conservation Lagerstätte, or fossil rich geological formation, known primarily for its exceptionally well-preserved marine reptiles. Named for the Smoky Hill River, the Smoky Hill Chalk Member is the uppermost of the two structural units of the Niobrara Chalk. It is underlain by the Fort Hays Limestone Member; and the Pierre Shale overlies the Smoky Hill Chalk. The Smoky Hill Chalk outcrops in parts of northwest Kansas, its most famous localities for fossils, and in southeastern Nebraska. Large well-known fossils excavated from the Smoky Hill Chalk include marine reptiles such as plesiosaurs, large bony fish such as Xiphactinus, mosasaurs, flying reptiles or pterosaurs (namely Pteranodon), flightless marine birds s

  • スモーキーヒルチョーク（英: Smoky Hill Chalk）は、白亜紀後期の化石が豊富な地層である。北アメリカの西部内陸海路に由来する保存状態の良い生物の標本で知られている 。 スモーキーヒルチョークはアメリカ合衆国カンザス州やネブラスカ州南東部の一部に露頭する。主に産出する化石としてはプレシオサウルスやモササウルスといった海生爬虫類、シファクティヌスやパキリゾドゥスのような大型魚、ヘスペロルニスなど非飛翔性の海鳥、プテラノドン、カメが挙げられる。標本の多くは化石収集家チャールズ・H・スターンバーグと彼の息子ジョージが収集している。有名な例ではギリクス・アルクアトゥスを体内に含んだシファクティヌス・アウダクスの骨格がジョージの収集した骨格の一例である。シファクティヌス・アウダクスの別の優れた標本は19世紀後半化石戦争の最中にエドワード・ドリンカー・コープが収集している。 (ja)

  • The Smoky Hill Chalk Member of the Niobrara Chalk formation is a Cretaceous conservation Lagerstätte, or fossil rich geological formation, known primarily for its exceptionally well-preserved marine reptiles. Named for the Smoky Hill River, the Smoky Hill Chalk Member is the uppermost of the two structural units of the Niobrara Chalk. It is underlain by the Fort Hays Limestone Member; and the Pierre Shale overlies the Smoky Hill Chalk. The Smoky Hill Chalk outcrops in parts of northwest Kansas, its most famous localities for fossils, and in southeastern Nebraska. Large well-known fossils excavated from the Smoky Hill Chalk include marine reptiles such as plesiosaurs, large bony fish such as Xiphactinus, mosasaurs, flying reptiles or pterosaurs (namely Pteranodon), flightless marine birds such as Hesperornis, and turtles. Many of the most well-known specimens of the marine reptiles were collected by dinosaur hunter Charles H. Sternberg and his son George. The son collected a unique fossil of the giant bony fish Xiphactinus audax with the skeleton of another bony fish, Gillicus arcuatus inside the larger one. Another excellent skeleton of Xiphactinus audax was collected by Edward Drinker Cope during the late nineteenth century heyday of American paleontology and its Bone Wars. (en)
