This tape reviews the work of Mike Voorhies, paleontologist at three sites in north-central Nebraska and, in particular, at the ashfall site where many rhinoceroses were covered by an ashfall from a prehistoric eruption 1,000 miles away in southwestern Idaho; this eruption had an intensity at least 100 times greater than that of Mt. St. Helens. Seventy skeletons of five species of horses were also uncovered. The evolution of the horse is also discussed.

Mammoth Extinction and Human Hunger Earlier this year a book caught my eye at my favorite book store: The Call of Distant Mammoths - Why the Ice Age Mammals Disappeared , by Peter D. Ward. This 241-page book is published by Copernicus/Springer-Verlag at $26 in hardcover. Ward is also the author of other books of note such as: The End of Evolution , and On Methuselah’s Trail . I have not read these other works but after having read this one I will probably read them as well. Why? I was very impressed with Ward’s writing and having read many books by many authors I can assure you that not everyone can write this well. Peter Ward is Professor of Geological Sciences, Professor of Zoology, and Curator of Paleontology at the University of Washington, Seattle. He has a recent paper with W. Bruce Saunders in the Journal of Paleontology (Volume 71, No. 6, 1997) wherein he establishes a new genus of the living nautiloid cephalopods. Ward’s premise is to determine a cause for the extinction of the large land animals of the most recent ice age including mammoths and mastodons. It appears from the beginning that he favors the rise of human populations as a major force in their demise. Ward does consider this to be a mass extinction while other authors that I have read do not since its effects were primarily on large land animals. "The Time Machine", chapter one, begins with Ward taking the reader to three specific and significant times and places in pre-history: 115,000 years before present near the Cape of Good Hope on the coast of South Africa. Here we observe some of the earliest modern humans known; 35,000 years before present on the northern coast of Australia where we see the earliest arrival of humans to this continent; and lastly 11,000 years before present in the American southwest. We see no humans here but only stone spear points amidst drying mammoth bones at an equally dry seasonal lake bed. Ward begins to set the reader’s thoughts to the great human successes in reproduction and technology which have allowed our global expansion at the expense of the lesser creatures.

Dr. Harold Coffin, fossil expert and author of the popular creation book Origin by Design, discussed a number of examples of fossils which greatly extend the range of morphologic stasis downward. That is, these fossils show very little change and no decrease in complexity as one descends in the geologic column. Examples will be shown from various locations including Germany, Brazil, Canada, and the United States. The purpose of the talk is to show that organisms that have become extinct may be different from modern living types, but organisms that have continued through to the present have been stable as far back as can be traced. This agrees with the predictions of the Creation Model. Dr Coffin has a Ph.D in invertebrate zoology, has taught on the college level and was a senior research scientist with the Geoscience Research Institute at Loma Linda University. His investigation of the floating log mat on Spirit Lake at Mount St. Helens led to an improved interpretation of Yellowstone National Park's petrified forests.

Over twenty-five individuals representing ten different National Park Service areas participated in discussions on a variety of paleontologial resource issues. The meeting was held in conjunction with the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology annual meeting. The meeting raised issues and key points on paleontological resources inventory and monitoring. Rick Harris led discussions on developing a servicewide GPRA goal for paleontology and the NPS Natural Resource Initiative. IMR GPRA coordinator Ron Thoman joined the discussions and provided suggestions for developing technical guidance. Ted Weasma (MOJA) volunteered to coordinate a small workgroup involved in the development of technical guidance for the servicewide GPRA goal. The outcome based goal that was adpoted for the NPS is, "By September 2005, 20% of known paleontological resources will be in good condition". The group discussed the concept of good condition as a measureable goal.

Contact Us Front Page Pleistocene Park Underway: Home for Reborn Mammoths? Stefan Lovgren for National Geographic News May 17, 2005 During the last ice age northeastern Siberia remained a grassy refuge for scores of animals, including bison and woolly mammoths. Then, about 10,000 years ago, this vast ecosystem disappeared as the Ice Age ended. Now, though, the Ice Age landscape is on its way back, with a little help from the Russian scientists who have established "Pleistocene Park." The scientists hope to uncover what killed off the woolly mammoth ( see photo ) and other Ice Age animals. To do so, they're restoring the prehistoric ecosystem once found in what is now the remote Sakha region of eastern Russia. The land is slowly being turned into willow savanna, as it was 10,000 years ago. Dozens of wild horses are already grazing in the refuge, and there are plans to import bison and musk oxen. Most spectacularly, the wildlife park may one day become home to a genetic hybrid of the extinct woolly mammoth and the modern-day elephant. But the park probably will not see its most majestic potential inhabitant for several decades, if ever.

All of them appear to have developed in northern Asia and to have migrated to other parts of the world. These primitive mammals had many features in common. They were small, with no species exceeding the size of a small modern bear. They were four-footed, with five toes on each foot, and they walked on the soles of their feet. Almost all of them had slim heads with narrow muzzles and small brain cavities. The predominant mammals of the period were members of three groups that are now extinct. They were the creodonts

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.

@import url(../tjfc.css); You are in Museum / Jefferson Fossil Collection Other Fossils About the Woolly Mammoth Fossil Gallery Symbol of the Pleistocene Epoch, the woolly mammoth ( Mammuthus primigenius The remains of mammoths were long familiar to Siberian aboriginals who often encountered remains along the banks of rivers and sold their tusks for the ivory trade. They believed them to be a giant underground mole-like animal that died upon emerging from their burrows ( ). Scattered accounts of these remains reached Western Europeans during the 17th century. They variously attributed these remains to human giants, elephants or the biblical behemoth and introduced transliterations of the local names for these animals: mammut, mammount, and ultimately mammoth. However, detailed descriptions or actual specimens weren't available until the first half of the 18th century. In 1728, the British anatomist Hans Sloane ( ) reported on fossil teeth and tusks he examined from Siberia and elsewhere. He conclusively demonstrated that they came from elephants rather than giants or the behemoth. But Sloane had to explain the presence of tropical animals so far north. He concluded that their demise was the result of a drastic climatic change and that their corpses were buried during the biblical flood. Others concluded that the mammoths were killed during the flood and transported by its waters to their final resting place. Mammoth skull, based on Messerschmidt's drawing

@import url(../tjfc.css); You are in Museum / Jefferson Fossil Collection American Mastodon More About Mastodon The American mastodon ( Mammut americanum ) is one of the most celebrated and best known fossil mammals of the Pleistocene Epoch. Its fossils have been collected in the thousands and several complete or nearly complete skeletons have been recovered. Some remarkable specimens have even preserved hair and internal organs. Ventral view of skull (after Godman, 1826) American mastodons are sometimes confused with their distant relatives, mammoths and elephants. All of them have or had well-developed trunks and tusks, but the mastodons were shorter in height, longer in length and more heavily built. The head was larger, but lacked the distinctive "hump" at the crest that is found in the Indian elephant and mammoths. In addition, the mastodon's head was carried horizontally, whereas those of the elephants and mammoths are or were angled down. Preserved hair from one eastern locality indicates that it had a coat of fine wool overlain with long, coarse guard hairs. The tusks were generally larger and longer than those of modern elephants, but conspicuously less curved than those of mammoths. They extended horizontally from the skull and curved outwards and then inwards. Young males often had a second, short pair of tusks extending from the lower jaw, but these were lost by maturity (

Mammoths Genus Mammuthus The genus mammoths, in latin Mammuthus , was a group of species, belonging to the family of elephants , entirely separated in taxonomy from the Mastodons and the genus family Mammutidae, although they sometimes shared the same envoronment. (For scientific reasons, the mastodons was renamed to family Mammutidae, which became a source for future confusion and misunderstandings). The Mammoths probably has origin from Stegodon and started to develop during upper Pliocene, (some 4 million years ago) in africa, spred to europe and asia, and Mammuthus meridionalis went over Bering Strait to north america about 1.8 million years ago, (the wooly Mammoth went over much later) and became extinct during lower Holocene, probaby exterminated by prehistoric humans who hunted elephants and Mammoths and made huts and houses out of their bones caracters of Mammoths They had bumps on their head Both sexes had tusks Some tusks were straight, some were curved The longest tusks were up to 13 feet (4 m) long. Mammoths had longer tusks than Mastodons, a wider head, a sloping back and flat chewing teeth

60. Bones May Offer Clues To Death Of Mammoths Besides mammoths, the North American losses include mastodons, camels, it all happened within maybe 400 years, a mere blink of an eye in paleontology. http://www.trussel.com/prehist/news216.htm

The Japan Times October 17, 2000 Bones may offer clues to death of mammoths NEW YORK (AP) Ross MacPhee opened a clear plastic vial that held what looked like finely grated cheese. Take a whiff, he said. Two young visitors to his office at the American Museum of Natural History sniffed, wrinkled their faces and turned away from the rancid stench. No doubt about it. Bone marrow from woolly mammoths really stinks. But for MacPhee, who had just returned from Siberia with 36 vials of ancient bone samples, the scent may lead to a sweet reward: hard evidence for his theory of why mammoths and many other species of big mammals in North and South America disappeared about 13,000 years ago. The list of animals that once roamed the region but perished in that era is startling. Besides mammoths, the North American losses include mastodons, camels, lions, cheetahs, saber-tooth cats, horses and giant sloths as big as buffaloes. In South America, the losses included glyptodonts, which resembled armadillos but grew 20 times bigger. What caused this? Debate has gone on for decades, centering mostly on two proposed explanations: climate change and voracious hunting by newly arrived humans.
