Curious about how scientists learned to reconstruct fossil skeletons? The knowledge we take for granted today was slow in coming, and along the way, scientists and scholars had some weird ideas. This Web site shows some of their mistakes, provides a timeline of events, gives biographies of a few of the people who have gotten us where we are today, and lists resources you can use to learn more. A Little History From Nature Illuminated published by The J. Paul Getty Museum Strange ideas didn't end with the Middle Ages. Savants took centuries to unravel the process of fossilization, many of them suspecting that nature fashioned odd stones just for fun. Living animals often proved as puzzling as fossils when scholars had to make sense of the weird specimens that explorers brought back to Europe from other continents. And belief in monsters and omens persisted well into the Renaissance, fueled in part by the religious tensions of the Reformation. But over time, fascination with oddities led to a better understanding of the history of life. Starting in the late 18th century, Georges Buffon and later Georges Cuvier suggested that the earth was much older than anyone had previously imagined. By studying the fossil record, 19th-century geologist John Phillips divided the ages of the earth into three eras: Paleozoic (old life), Mesozoic (middle life) and Cenozoic (new life). Charles Darwin published

Paleontology in Alabama Crinoids are among the most beautiful fossils to be found in Alabama. The paleontology program at the Geological Survey of Alabama is as old as the agency itself. This is because the study of fossils is fundamental to earth science. Fossils tell us about the environments in which rocks formed, including water depth, salinity, and temperature; what creatures lived in those environments; how ancient organisms interacted with one another; the degree of connection to, or isolation from, other parts of the world in ancient times; the ages of rocks; and many other kinds of information.

Program 2895 April 04, '03 The study of fossils, supposedly began with the work of a French naturalist in the early 1800ís. But thereís a new theory that thousands of years ago, the Greeks were already analyzing remains of ancient animals, and reaching conclusions of mythic proportions. Iím Jim Metzner, and this is the Pulse of the Planet. "In ancient Greek myth, the world before humans was populated by giants and monsters of all sorts. The Greeks came across the fossils of extinct animals, and they knew that such creatures didnít exist any longer so they made up myths to explain them." Well, thatís the somewhat revolutionary theory of Adrienne Mayor, author of The First Fossil Hunters: Paleontology in Greek and Roman Times. Her book disputes the conventional wisdom that ancient people did not recognize fossils as the remains of living creatures. She points to many mythical beasts which may have been inspired by the discovery ofold bones. For example, the Caledonian boar in one myth was described as having enormous tusks, very much like those of the extinct woolly mammoth. "For the ancient Greeks, who had no idea of elephants until the fourth century B.C., when they found tusks of enormous and unfamiliar size, the only animal they knew of with tusks was a boar. So it was logical for them to imagine and create a myth of a gigantic boar that ravaged the land. Without reducing the body of Homeric myth to fossil legends, I think itís fascinating and interesting to tease out those portions of the myth that were actually based on scientific or historical reality."

Palæos: Palaeontology PALAEONTOLOGY Trace Fossils Home Palaeont- ology Evolution ... Unit Home Palaeontology Glossary Page Next Peripatus Home Home Index ... Fossils Trace Fossils Palynology Books Definition: Bioturbation / Trace Fossils / Ichnotaxa Bioturbation In the broadest sense, any kind of sediment disturbance is bioturbation. Often, however, the term is employed more restrictively to refer to the disruption of fine sedimentary layering by digging organisms. Archean and most Proterozoic sedimentary rocks are notable for their distinct lack of any bioturbated textures. Very fine layers in these rocks are perfectly preserved, suggesting a complete lack of any burrowing organisms. Trace fossils and bioturbation first appear in sedimentary rocks after the end of the last major Proterozoic glaciation, the Varanger-Marinoan ice age, approximately 600 to 590 Ma.

The study of these remains enables scientists to trace the evolutionary history of extinct as well as living organisms ( see Evolution ). Paleontologists also play a major role in unraveling the mysteries of the earth's rock strata (layers). Using detailed information on how fossils are distributed in these layers of rock, paleontologists help prepare accurate geologic maps, which are essential in the search for oil, water, and minerals.

PALEONTOLOGY AND BEACH FOSSILS OF THE NEW YORK BIGHT This web page is a short collection of images of fossils collected from Rockaway Beach (Queens, NY), Staten Island, and Sandy Hook (NJ). The conclusion that some of these items are actually of antiquity is purely subjective. Taphonomy Taphonomy is the study of how (and why) fossils are preserved. Modern geologic processes can take practically any bone or shell material and give it a "fossil" appearance. For instance, modern shells commonly become attached to iron debris (shipwrecks, bottle tops, etc.) as seawater reacts with the iron to form rust. In addition, shell accumulations in the highest tidal range are subjected to frequent wetting and drying by rain or highest tides. This infrequent wetting of shell material causes calcite and aragonite to dissolve and then precipitate as microcrystalline calcite cement upon drying. These processes that cement modern shell material are essentially the same processes that helped to preserve shells and organic remains as fossils in the geologic past. Several additional important geologic processes related to fossils should also be noted. First, vertebrate bones and teeth consist of porous apatite (a calcium phospate mineral). When exposed to seawater minerals precipitate within pores and ion substitution replaces some of the spaces within the aragonite mineral lattice. The net result is that bone material tends to become darker in color, harder, and more brittle with time (if it isn't eaten or dissolved in organic acids in the sediment first!).

These rocks can be locally fossiliferous, and some of the fossils which occur are peculiar and unique. Chert and dolomite, in layers or masses, yield these fossils which record a part of the Earth's early history of marine animal life.
