Paleontology 137 Dr. J Bret Bennington Micropaleontology and Palynology Stromatolites Although stromatolites are megascopic organo-sedimentary structures more within the realm of sedimentology than micropaleontology, they are produced by bacteria (prokaryotic organisms) so we will consider them along with other fossil microbes. The term Stromatolite is defined as an accretionary organosedimentary structure, commonly laminated, megascopic, and calcareous, produced as a result of the growth and metabolic activities of mat-forming, filimentous prokaryotes - primarily cyanobacteria ("blue green algae", which are not algae at all - algae are eukaryotes). Sedimentary particles carried by currents and tides settle out onto the mat surface. Bacterial cells grow upward through the sedimentary material, trapping and binding it, and forming a new mat surface. This process is continuously repeated to produce laminations of sediment bound by older mat material with the living growing microbial mat remaining on the outer surface of the mound. Stromatolites can be stratiform (flat)

The four talks on Ancient Life and Environments in New York State, are held on consecutive Wednesdays, begin Feb. 7 in the Museum Theater. All programs start at 7 p.m. and are free of charge. Geologists and paleontologists use their findings on marine life to suggest theories on the evolution of modern animal groups and plants. Also explored will be the causes and effects of changing sea levels through geologic time and how natural gas may originate with ancient reef and beach sands. The Museum's Center for Stratigraphy and Paleontology focuses on interpreting the regional and global controls on the early history and evolution of the natural environment and life in New York. The Center includes paleobiologists, stratigraphers and other geologists whose work contributes to understanding the rock and fossil succession in New York State and related regions. The Museum, committed to lifelong learning, is a program of the State Education Department.

Peripatus Home Page Paleontology Page Updated: 10 Jan 2004 Ordovician Period Abstract Keywords: Ordovician, Ordovician biota, Cambrian-Ordovician boundary, Ordovician-Silurian boundary, Soom Shale, trilobites, eurypterids, graptolites Introduction The Ordovician Period is the second period of the Paleozoic Era. This period saw the origin and rapid evolution of many new types of invertebrate animals which replaced their Cambrian predecessors. "About 500 million years ago, in the Ordovician period, life forms diversified dramatically and gave rise to many of the marine forms familiar today. The fossil record of this period is amazingly intact in the Great Basin of California, Utah and Nevada and affords an almost unprecedented opportunity to learn about the conditions that favor innovation in biodiversity. The story told by that record, report the authors, runs contrary to the common wisdom. The record tells of the kind of large-scale climatic and ecological changes that have traditionally been linked to extinctions, not radiations. Yet, the record clearly shows that no major extinctions preceded the Ordovician radiation. They therefore conclude that global changes are just as likely to promote as diminish global biodiversity" (Droser et al.

100. Lessons From The Silurian We’ve talked a lot about technologies to make a Silurian reef alive again The human element for me was the curator of invertebrate paleontology, http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue9_5/valauskas/

I remember on Wednesday night that John McCarter Is there a better way of getting information to bright young people in our cities? Joey Rodger yesterday at the Conference talked about learning being "illogical and nonlinear" and that’s a good way of describing some of the learning experiences of some young people. When David Liroff I take a very personal approach to these young experts because of my own experiences as a young person growing up in Chicago, bitten by the science bug and needing information to satisfy my own personal needs. I too pursued "illogical and irrational" ways of learning. When I was a youngster I would ride on my bicycle to outcrops of limestone on the south side of the city. I would collect fossils from exposed limestone from the Silurian period, some 430 million years old. These fossils were once living creatures in a coral reef, when this area was much more tropical, like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Figure 1: A reconstruction of a Siurian reef in the Chicago area, diorama at The Field Museum. This image (Negative Number GEO80820) is reproduced with the kind permission of The Field Museum. In my own illogical way, I took advantage of resources at the Museum. I was a frequent visitor to the Library at the Museum to the extent of even cutting classes at school so I could read books and papers on Silurian reefs, memorizing pages of information. Many years later, I met the author of those papers. His name was Heinz Lowenstam and he had taught at the University of Chicago and at Cal Tech [
