Paleontology

Extractions: Home The Region The Gateways Itineraries ... Receptive Operators Search Italiano There is a big advantage to viewing the many dinosaurs located within The Real America compared to those in "Jurassic Park." Our dinosaurs are dead and have been for 65 million years. Long before paleontology became popular, sites within our region were famous worldwide for the extremely rich fossil beds and accessible dinosaur skeletons. New and exciting finds are still being made every year, including the first-ever discovery of dinosaur eggs in Montana and the first full-sized Allosaurus in Wyoming. The region was, and is, a true "Jurassic Park. Day 1/2 - Arrive Denver One of the most extensive dinosaur exhibits in the nation is at Denver Museum of Natural History . Called "Prehistoric Journey," the $7.7 million exhibit will offer visitors a unique look at prehistoric life, following a cobblestone path and entering an "enviroroama" where theyll be immersed in a 3.5 billion year old landscape.

http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/projects/cases/mammoth_notes.html

Extractions: University at Buffalo, State University of New York INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND This case was developed for use in a general biology course where evolution is taught. Instructors of courses in anthropology and paleontology might also find it appropriate. We have used it in a freshman evolutionary biology course as the last case in the term after studying the general principles of evolution, genetics, and biodiversity. Case Objectives To examine: BLOCKS OF ANALYSIS The theme of this case is extinction. Within that overall theme, the major thrusts of this case fall along two lines: what happened to the mammoths, and what happened to the Neanderthals?

Extractions: Excerpted from Volume VI, Number 6 * June, 1995 NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION SQUANDERS ANOTHER $105,000 OF YOUR MONEY STUDYING MASTODON TUSKS Another questionable example of Federally-funded scientific "basic research" run amok is a project of Professor Dan Fisher of the University of Michigan whose specialty is the geological sciences and who is curator of paleontology. He got a three-year, $105,000 National Science Foundation grant to analyze the tusks of mammoths and mastodons to try and find out why they became extinct. Okay, so what has he discovered? Well, he tells me in an interview that he cuts and samples these tusks and compares them to recent elephants to determine, from analyzing their growth rings and their isotopic chemistry, "something about the environment in which the animals lived, the rates at which they grew, their age at death, their age at sexual maturity, and, for females, the intervals between calves and the number of calves in their lifetime a whole range of things like that." Me: "But, why? Of what use is this knowledge to your typical American taxpayer?" Well, he says, there are two benefits here. One is "a sort of pure scientific reason." The other reason is "quite applied, quite relevant" knowledge for "current global needs." Regarding the first rationale, he says mammoths/mastodons died out when "about 10,000 years ago" North America lost about three-fourths of its large mammal fauna.

Woolly Mammoths
In addition to occasional frozen mammoths, large amounts of mammoth ivory were Woolly mammoths are often considered to be symbolic of the last ice age
http://www.crystalinks.com/woollymammoth.html

Extractions: A mammoth is any of a number of an extinct genus of elephant, often with long curved tusks and, in northern species, a covering of long hair. They inhabited the northern regions of the world, in Europe, northern Asia, and North America. Many types of mammoth lived in temperate and northern climes: the frozen remains of woolly mammoths have been found in the northern parts of Siberia. Frozen mammoth corpses, when removed from the ice, often prove remarkably fresh: dogs accompanying the finders sometimes ate the flesh. There have been proposals to clone freshly defrosted mammoths in order to revive the species. In addition to occasional frozen mammoths, large amounts of mammoth ivory were found in Siberia, and were an article of trade for many centuries. It is a common misconception that mammoths were much larger than modern elephants, an error that has led to "mammoth" being used as a adjective meaning "very big". The largest known species, the Imperial Mammoth of California, reached heights of at least 4 meters at the shoulder. However, most species of mammoth were about as large as a modern Indian elephant, and fossils of a species of dwarf mammoth have been found on remote islands off the east coast of Siberia.
