Extractions: Studies using modern analytical techniques to delineate taxonomic units and determine evolutionary relationships (Budd and Klaus, Cheetham et al., Marko and Jackson, Roopnarine, Schneider and Carter) are surprisingly limited, and provide mostly preliminary results. Three use multivariate statistical analyses of linear measurements (Cheetham et al., Marko and Jackson) and of Bookstein size and shape coordinates (Budd and Klaus) to recognize species and consider possible cryptic species. In all three cases, morphometrically recognized species are independently confirmed using separately published molecular results. Despite the rigor of these analyses and their apparent effectiveness in distinguishing taxa, the ontogeny and evolution of specific morphologic features ("characters") remain largely unexplored.

Extractions: Transcribed from volume II of Kansas: a cyclopedia of state history, embracing events, institutions, industries, counties, cities, towns, prominent persons, etc. ... / with a supplementary volume devoted to selected personal history and reminiscence. Standard Pub. Co. Chicago : 1912. 3 v. in 4. : front., ill., ports.; 28 cm. Vols. I-II edited by Frank W. Blackmar. Transcribed July 2002 by Carolyn Ward. Paleontology , the science of the ancient life that inhabited the earth, is the foundation upon which the geological history of the earth in a great part rests. By the aid of fossils, the remains of ancient life, the succession of rocks, their distribution and relations are determined. Kansas is famous as a region for fossils, and within the boundaries of the state varied and remarkable fossil records have been found. Accord ing to Zittel, the study of paleontology is carried on by means of fossils which are "all remains or traces of plants and animals which have lived before the beginning of the present geological period, and have been preserved in rocks." The earliest work with regard to fossils in Kansas was done in the western part of the state. The first person to make any systematic collection was the late Prof. B. F. Mudge, professor of geology at the Kansas State Agricultural College, who headed an expedition up the Republican and Solomon rivers in 1870. In Kansas the upper Cretaceous has been divided into the Fort Pierre, subdivided into Arickaree shales and Lisbon shales; Niobrara, subdivided into Peteranodon beds and Fort Hayes beds; Benton, subdivided into the upper and lower group; Dakota; Comanche; red beds and Permian. The richest fossil fields are found in the chalk beds of Rush county, the Niobrara chalk of Trego county and of Plumb creek, and the Fort Hayes beds of the Smoky Hill river in Gove county.

Extractions: Hadrocodium ( meaning "heavy or full head") was a tiny mammalian ancestor about the size of a paperclip. It is the earliest-known animal with such mammal-like features. This shrew-like quadruped had a long tail, a long snout, delicate teeth, three middle ear bones, a powerful jaw hinge, matching upper and lower teeth, a large brain case, and five-toed feet. Hadrocodium was an insectivore (insect-eater) that may have been nocturnal (most active at night). It lived about 195 million years ago. A skull (half an inch (12 millimeters) long) was found in the Lufeng Basin in Yunnan, China, in 1985 (it was only recently determined that it was a new species). The type species is Hadrocodium wui

Vertebrate Fossils In Kentucky Vertebrates (or Craniata) include the wellknown animals such as fish Fossils thought to be dinosaur teeth generally are horn corals or some other type http://www.uky.edu/KGS/coal/webfossl/pages/vertes.htm
Extractions: Vertebrates (or Craniata) include the well-known animals such as fish (Pisces), amphibians (Amphibia), reptiles (Reptilia), dinosaurs (Dinosauria, usually included in the Reptilia), birds (Aves, sometimes classed as feathered Reptiles or Dinosaurs), and mammals, including humans (Mammalia). Fossils of all these groups have been found in Kentucky except for the dinosaurs, which have the potential to be found in far western Kentucky, although none have been found to date. The common feature of vertebrate animals is that they have a spinal column and associated vertebrae. In some animals, like sharks, the vertebrae are composed of cartilage. In other animals, like mammals and reptiles, vertebrae are composed of bone. Bones can be fossilized; cartilage is generally not fossilized. Vertebrate fossils are rare in Kentucky. Most reported fossils that look like bones, claws, or teeth, are actually fossils of other types of animals or are pseudofossils. Pseudofossils are rocks that look like fossils, but are not fossils. If you think you have found a fossil bone, look at the Recognizing fossil bones section first. Look at the criteria for identifying fossil bones, and see if the fossil you have looks like the fossils shown to determine if it is actually a bone or not. If after comparing your fossil to the other fossils, it appears that your fossil may be a fossil bone, try to match it to the fossils shown below in Vertebrate fossils found in Kentucky. If you have found a fossil bone in Kentucky, please call the Kentucky Geological Survey (859) 257-5500, so that we can document and verify the find.
Devonian Age In Kentucky fish and corals in the ancient Devonian seas of Kentucky. Art copyrighted 1995 by Stephen Greb. Place cursor over animals in picture and look at the status http://www.uky.edu/KGS/coal/webfossl/pages/devonian.htm
Extractions: Devonian rocks are exposed at the surface in the Knobs Region, which rings the Blue Grass Region. Devonian rocks are absent in the Blue Grass Region, but occur below the surface in other areas of Kentucky. During most of the Devonian, Kentucky was covered by shallow tropical seas, although some very low lands may have been emergent at times in central Kentucky. During the later part of the Devonian, deep seas covered Kentucky, and the water was poorly oxygenated at depth. Dark organic-rich muds were deposited, producing the Devonian black shales in Kentucky, which contain oil shales and are a potential source for a variety of fossil fuels. Much of the oil and gas found in Kentucky originally came from these Devonian black shales.

Extractions: NMB ) measured sections and collected large samples of microfossils and macrofossils at closely spaced intervals along nine river sections in the Cibao Valley of the northern Dominican Republic. Age dates for the sections were determined through study of planktic foraminifera and nannofossils. The collections were accessioned by the NMB, and distributed to specialists for identification and preparation of systematic monographs. To date, all collecting efforts have been completed, and ~20 systematic monographs have been published as part of a series entitled "Neogene Paleontology of the Northern Dominican Republic" in the Bulletins of American Paleontology . In addition, the DR collections have served as the basis for several classic studies in evolutionary paleontology, including Cheetham's (1986) widely cited demonstration of punctuated equilibrium in bryozoans and Jung's (1989) revision of the Strombina -Group.

While actinopterygians appeared in the fossil record during the Devonian period, between 400-350 million years ago (Ma), it was not until the Carboniferous period (360 Ma) that they had become dominant in freshwaters and started to invade the seas. At present, approximately 42 orders, 431 families, and nearly 24,000 species are recognized within this class but there are bound to be taxonomic revisions as research progresses. Teleosts comprise approximately 23,000 of the 24,000 species within the actinopterygians, and 96 percent of all living fish species (see Systematic/Taxonomic History). The latter estimates, however, will probably never be accurate because actinopterygian species are becoming extinct faster than they can be discovered in some areas, such as the Amazon and Congo Basins. Unfortunately, habitat destruction, pollution and international trade, among other human impacts, have contributed to the endangerment of many actinopterygians (see Conservation Status).
Comox Valley Earth Sciences Resource Site: Paleozoic Era These include the trilobites, eurypterids, blastoids, rugose corals, and graptolites. Among the vertebrates, the agnaths (jawless fish) became extinct, http://www.courtenaymuseum.ca/paleo/paleo/paleozob.html
Extractions: Although its geological record spans some 420 million years, the paleontological record of Vancouver Island can only be traced back to the Mississippian Period of the Paleozoic Era, more than 325 million years ago. The oldest fossils from this period come from exposures that are rare indeed, but represent diverse assemblages of invertebrate animals such as trilobites (arthropods), coral (cnidarians), bivalves (mollusks), blastoids (echinoderms), and brachiopods. Apparently, these animals were only able to populate the submerged plateau once the various volcanic episodes of the Paleozoic Era had finally come to an end. However, it was not until the Upper Cretaceous Period, more than 250 million years later, that the first truly impressive vertebrate assemblages occur in the local fossil record. These animals not only include an astonishing array of fish and shark groups, but also of marine reptiles, sea-going birds and possibly pterosaurs, and the very rare ... as well. By the time the first animals had become fossilized on Vancouver Island, the Paleozoic Era had already witnessed the great evolutionary explosion that marked the beginning of the Cambrian Period; the evolution of true primitive (jawless) fish and the earliest land plants during the Ordovician; the first permanent colonization of the land by animals (the arachnids - spiders and scorpions), and the development of true jaws in fish, during the Silurian; and the evolution of the first sharks and amphibians during the Devonian.

Extractions: Peripatus Home Page Paleontology Page Updated: 3 Mar 2005 Lagerstätten (sing. lagerstätte) are fossil localities which are highly remarkable for for either their diversity or quality of preservation; sometimes both. Sometimes the phrase konservat-lagerstätten is seen in all its polysyllabic glory, though this seems like somewhat pretentious over-kill to me. Other very well-known lagerstätten include the Green River Formation of Wyoming, USA, which has produced countless fossil fish for the commercial fossil market, the Solnhofen Limestone of Germany, famous primarily for the Archeopteryx fossils found there. However, there are many more and I shall attempt to describe, or at least list, some of them on this site. The following table lists a few basic facts about some well-known lagerstätten. It is arranged in usual geological fashion: age increases down the table. Further Reading Related Pages Other Web Sites Peabody Museum, Yale
