  14. TODAY: • Skeleton Plotting your own core by hand, then • Pattern-Matching with the other students in your group to make a Site Composite, then • Crossdating with the Master Skeleton Plot (assigning Calendar dates to your own plot)

  15. Your “paper” cores are from real BRISTLECONE PINE SITES (you’ll learn more about them on Thursday)

  16. 5 SITES IN WESTERN U.S. Upper forest border All are Bristlecone Pine sites SITE NAME (abrev) CORE ID Sheep Mt (SHP) C Campito Mt (CAM) D Methuselah Walk B (MWK) Almagre Mt (ALM) E Hermit Lake (HER) A Map is onp 135 in Class Notes

  18. PROJECT’S PAPER CORES: Earlywood & latewood NOT shown INSTEAD: each narrow ring you should plot is colored infor you (yay!) REMEMBER: be sure to draw yourlongest lines for the most narrow rings! Frost ring = marked by xxxxx

  19. WHAT ARE FROST RINGS? Permanent wood damage in cells, due to freezing & expansion of intercelluar water, can be useful for pattern matching & crossdating! Produced by a severe freeze occurring DURING the tree’s growing season

  20. Core ID #Your NAME LABEL intervals of 10 FR FROST RING Starting Flag for Ring 0 (first ring) Ending Flag for LAST complete (not jagged) RING in core -- plot arrow when finished, not all cores have 60 rings SETTING UP YOUR SKELETON PLOT GRAPH PAPER: Important: USE A PENCIL not a pen! Note: be sure to plot your lines so that they reach the bottom edge of the paper!

  21. Pattern Matching

  22. Student B’s plot Student A’s plot A-1 Pattern Matching

  23. Making a Site Composite SITE COMPOSITE = all individual plots from your site pattern-matched & taped together

  24. Crossdating with the Master Goal: To assign calendar dates to each of the skeleton plots in your group! Your 2 pts for yourINDIVIDUAL GRADE for Question #10 are based on: -- a correct skeleton plot -- correct dates assigned to your skeleton plot

  25. Site Skeleton Plot Masters(with dates marked & narrowest rings shown by long lines)

  26. Also on the Skeleton Plot Masters you will find “FROST RING YEARS” marked! FR = frost ring year

  27. TODAY – QUESTION #10: (1) Plot the skeleton plot for the core given to you. (Please DO NOT WRITE ON THE CORE ITSELF) (2) Be sure your name & the CORE ID # is on your GRAPH PAPER when your PLOT is done. (3) Pattern match with other students – you’ll tape together the plots into a SITE COMPOSITE when match is made

  28. TODAY – (cont.) (4) After the SITE COMPOSITE IS TAPED TOGETHER – Assign starting and ending CALENDAR DATES to each plot in the Composite (5) When everyone’s plot is dated, carefully take apart the composite and LEAVE you CORE & your PLOT in your GROUP FOLDER for Question #10 validation. – (Be sure your name and Core ID is on your PLOT.
