Collection Databases Florida Fossil Permit and Application Form Fossil Horses in Cyberspace Fossil Identification Services ... List of Primary Type Specimens in Our Collection The FLMNH vertebrate fossil collections feature rich samples of all classes, mainly from the Cenozoic Era. More than 90% of the collections come from about 1000 marine and non-marine sites in Florida; other contributing regions are the Caribbean Basin and the South American Andes. Included are about 400,000 specimens, of which more than 235,000 are catalogued and 220,000 are currently on a searchable computer database . Holotypes number about 200 specimens. The FLMNH vertebrate fossil collections include the former Florida Geological Survey Collection and the UF Department of Zoology Fossil Bird Collection (assembled by the late Professor Pierce Brodkorb). Each of these collections is maintained in a separate catalog, under the acronyms UF/FGS and UF/PB, respectively. The FLMNH collections provide the most complete basis available for study of Cenozoic vertebrate paleontology in the southeastern United States and the Caribbean Basin. Biogeographically these collections record critical episodes in the history of ancient Florida over the past 50 million years.

104. Paleontology - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia The work done in paleontology can be divided into field work, fossil preparation and laboratory processing, identification of taxa and other data collection http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleontology

Paleontology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A paleontologist carefully chips rock from a column of dinosaur vertebrae. Paleontology (the American spelling; the British spelling is palaeontology ) is the study of the developing history of life on earth, of ancient plants and animals based on the fossil record , evidence of their existence preserved in rocks . This includes the study of body fossils , tracks, burrows, cast off parts, fossilized feces coprolites "), and chemical residues. Contents Overview Notable paleontologists Research See also ... edit Overview Modern paleontology sets ancient life in its contexts, by studying how long-term physical changes of global geography (" paleogeography ") and climate (" paleoclimate ") have affected the evolution of life, how ecosystems have responded to these changes and have changed the planetary environment in turn, and how these mutual responses have affected today's patterns of biodiversity . So paleontology overlaps with geology , the study of rocks and rock formations, and with botany biology zoology , and ecology , fields concerned with living creatures and how they interact.

The Major Fossil Groups Fossils can be grouped and studied in many ways, by size, habitat type, or phylogenetic groups. Large fossils like dinosaurs, corals, echinoderms, and macro-mollusks ( macrofossils ) were the primary emphasis of paleontologic studies in the 1700's, 1800's and early 1900's, because they were easily recognizable in the field and did not require special equipment to study them. As new and better microscopes were invented, more and more paleontologists began to use microfossils to solve a variety of geologic problems. Microfossils currently are the preferred tools at the USGS. These small fossils are generally much more widespread and abundant in sedimentary deposits than larger fossils, and because of their size, much smaller samples can be collected. Drilling of coreholes, which obtains important rock samples from beneath the earth's surface, has made microfossils an indispensable tool because only occasionally will macrofossils be preserved in the two-inch diameter cores that are the product of most coring operations. In this section, you will learn about each of the fossil groups that are being used to solve geologic problems at the USGS.

Chesapeake Bay Struck by Comet - Read all About It ! FOSSILS AT THE CALVERT MARINE MUSEUM There are many fossils on display at the Calvert Marine Museum. But why? During the middle of the MIOCENE epoch, 10 to 20 million years ago, a shallow ocean covered Southern Maryland . At times the sea spread as far west as the present site of Washington, D.C. Rivers flowing from the Appalachian mountains to the Miocene sea carried mud and sand which built up the layers of sediments now exposed as cliffs along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. As present-day rain and and waves erode the Calvert Cliffs, new fossils are exposed daily. the vast majority of these fossils are the shells of clam and snail species that lived in this warm shallow ocean. A diversity of shark and stingray teeth are also fairly common. Sometimes, the remains of fish, turtles, crocodiles, oceanic birds, extinct whales, long snouted dolphins, seals, and sea cows are also discovered. Since the sediments were accumulating in a marine environment, the remains of land animals are much less common. Nevertheless, occasionally parts of Miocene peccaries, camels, horses, elephants, and rhinos among others, are found.
