File Fossilcyad.jpg thumb A reconstructed fossil cycad flower Fossil Cycad National Monument was a National Monument United States national monument in the U.S. state of South Dakota beginning in 1922. The site contained hundreds of fossil cycad s, one of the world s greatest concentrations. Because vandalism vandals stole or destroyed all of the visible fossils, it was withdrawn as a national monument in 1956. It is located in northwestern Fall River County, South Dakota Fall River County , on U.S. Route 18 , northeast of the city of Edgemont, South Dakota Edgemont . Discovery Image Cycas rumphii BotGard1105MalePlantWithCone11.JPG thumb Cycas rumphii , a modern cycad The fossilized cycad beds were discovered in 1892 by F. H. Cole of Hot Springs, South Dakota , in the 120 million year old Dakota Sandstone Formation , near Minnekahta. Cole sent photographs of the fossils to Professor Henry Newton, a geology geologist at the Smithsonian Institution . Professor Thomas MacBride of the University of Iowa published the first description of the site in 1893. There were believed to be large deposits of Cretaceous cycad fossils. Cycads are plants resembling ferns, although not related to them. The ones at this site were tree sized. In 1920, Yale University Yale paleobotany paleobotanist George Reber Wieland obtained the fossil cycad rich land under the Homestead Act in order that the cycads might not fall into unworthy hands . Two years later he offered to return the land to the federal government if a national monument could be established to protect the fossils. Establishment of the national monument The original monument was established on October 21, 1922 by proclamation of President Warren G. Harding .

Zamia staggers is a form of cycad toxicosis, a term for the fatal nervous disease affecting cattle where they browse on the leaves or fruit of cycad s. It is characterised by irreversible paralysis of the hind legs because of the degeneration of the spinal cord . It is caused by a toxin , often called cycasin or macrozamin, a glycoside the sugar of which is primeverose of methylazoxymethanol MAM , and which is found in all cycad genera. Following ingestion the sugar is removed by bacterial glycosidase in the gut, with the MAM being absorbed. The metabolized toxin produces tumours of the liver, kidney, intestine and brain after a latent period which may be a year or longer. The disease has been known in Australia since the 1860s and was the subject of a Government of Queensland Queensland Government investigation during the 1890s. ref Carr & Carr 1981 , p.18. ref References Notes reflist Sources cite book title The botany of the first Australians.

The leaves are 1.8 2.5 m long, and pinnate, with 100 150 leaflets and several basal spines they are glossy dark green, but covered in orange pubescence at first which soon wears off. The leaflets are 35 52 cm long and 13 19 mm wide, and the basal spines .

It is most closely related to Cycas balansae , little is known about this cycad. It grows in deep loam over granite in the inner forests of Vietnam.
