| The Bridge Creek Flora is an Oligocene flora which occurs at several sites in central Oregon. This flora contains such temperate plants as oak, alder and the dawn redwood. Many of the fossils in this flora described by Newberry, Knowlton and Chaney were collected from the Painted Hills unit of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, while others are known from the schoolhouse locality in Fossil, Oregon. |
