Abstract

The goal of this project was to determine the source of Jamestown’s black “marble” knight’s tombstone. From 1627, it is the oldest such tombstone in the Chesapeake Bay region. We used the fossils contained in archived fragments from the stone to identify its microfossils which included six species of foraminiferans. These co-occurred in what is now Belgium and Ireland during the Viséan Age, Middle Mississippian Epoch, Carboniferous Period. They did not co-occur in North America. Therefore, the knight’s tombstone had to be imported from Europe. Historical evidence suggests Belgium, from where it was transshipped in London and on to Jamestown.

寻找美国弗吉尼亚詹姆斯敦早期殖民时期骑士的黑色 "大理石 "墓碑

该项目的目标是确定詹姆斯敦黑色 "大理石 "骑士墓碑的来源。该墓碑建于 1627 年，是切萨皮克湾地区最古老的此类墓碑。我们利用该墓碑存档碎片中的化石来鉴定其微化石，其中包括六种有孔虫。这些有孔虫共同出现在现在的比利时和爱尔兰石炭纪中密西西比纪中期的维斯安时代。它们并没有共同出现在北美洲。因此，骑士墓碑必须从欧洲进口。历史证据表明，墓石来自比利时，从那里转运到伦敦，再运到詹姆斯敦。
