Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a fossil?
A: A fossil is any remain, trace, or imprint of a once-living animal, plant, or single-celled organism that has been preserved in rock. Q: Where can I go to collect fossils?
A: There are very few places in Washington that provide opportunities for fossil collecting: 1) You can also contact the Northwest Paleontological Association , a group of avocational paleontologists. The NPA is a 501(c)(3), but it is affiliated with the Burke Museum.

The First Fossil Hunters:
Paleontology in Greek and Roman Times
Adrienne Mayor
With a foreword by Peter Dodson
Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Search within this book at Google Print Griffins, Centaurs, Cyclopes, and Giantsthese fabulous creatures of classical mythology continue to live in the modern imagination through the vivid accounts that have come down to us from the ancient Greeks and Romans. But what if these beings were more than merely fictions? What if monstrous creatures once roamed the earth in the very places where their legends first arose? This is the arresting and original thesis that Adrienne Mayor explores in The First Fossil Hunters . Through careful research and meticulous documentation, she convincingly shows that many of the giants and monsters of myth did have a basis in factin the enormous bones of long-extinct species that were once abundant in the lands of the Greeks and Romans. As Mayor shows, the Greeks and Romans were well aware that a different breed of creatures once inhabited their lands. They frequently encountered the fossilized bones of these primeval beings, and they developed sophisticated concepts to explain the fossil evidence, concepts that were expressed in mythological stories. The legend of the gold-guarding griffin, for example, sprang from tales first told by Scythian gold-miners, who, passing through the Gobi Desert at the foot of the Altai Mountains, encountered the skeletons of Protoceratops and other dinosaurs that littered the ground.

    presented to LARRY D. AGENBROAD
    Citation by: JIM I. MEAD
    I am very pleased to help acknowledge the achievements of Larry Agenbroad. I have known Larry for what seems to be a thousand years, as a mentor, a colleague, and best of all, a compadre. Larry has a charisma about him that effervesces friendliness about education and an excitement about research on mammoths, geology, and archaeology. As a senior in anthropology and geology, I felt that I really knew the direction that I wanted to go, and I was headed in that direction, but when I met Larry at the excavation of the Lehner Mammoth Kill Site, southeastern Arizona, in 1974, it was he who really provided the catalyst for my future. I am where I am today thanks to Larry. I know that this is a similar scenario for many previous students of his. Larry has given many gifts to the profession (take a look at his CV), but probably the one that has affected the most people, students and professionals alike, is his ability to get people excited about doing research. He has an innate ability to create new projects - projects with a different twist in design than what most of us can and do produce. In the panhandle of Nebraska, :Larry was shown a bunch of "sheep" bones eroding from a dozer cut near a spring. Upon examination of the deposit, his internal fossil-archaeology ticker went off - he knew that the site had more potential. Methodical and detailed excavations, typical of his techniques, proved that the locality was in fact a bison kill site (now known as the Hudson-Meng Bison Kill Site) with hundreds of animals. Larry not only recorded the use of bison by Paleoindians of the Alberta point tradition, but also trained scores of students (including me) to look for details and to think from multidisciplinary framework - archaeology and geology.

    UCSC researcher wins top paleontology award
    By Tim Stephens
    Paul Koch The Paleontological Society has bestowed the 1998 Charles Schuchert Award on paleontologist and geochemist Paul Koch, an assistant professor of earth sciences. The Schuchert Award is presented annually to a researcher whose work early in his or her career reflects excellence and quality in the science of paleontology. Koch will formally receive the award October 27 at the Paleontological Society's luncheon at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Toronto. Koch's research involves analyzing the chemical composition of fossils for clues to the biology and ecology of extinct animals. His work also sheds light on prehistoric changes in Earth's climate. In one project, Koch and his coworkers analyze mineral deposits on fossil bones to document changes in the climate on land during a period around 50 to 60 million years ago when most of the modern groups of mammals first appeared. These mineral deposits reveal the oxygen isotope composition of rainfall at the time they were formed, a measurement closely tied to the mean annual temperature. One of the main thrusts of Koch's research is to understand the ecology of Pleistocene-era mammals, such as mammoths and mastodons, in North America. The last appearances of these animals in the fossil record date to around 13,000 years ago. This coincides with a period of rapid climatic shifts at the end of the last ice age. In addition, the first hard evidence for substantial human populations in North America also dates precisely to this period.

    The Anza Borrego Desert was once a great sea bed, and today one can find fossil remains of prehistoric creatures ranging from wooly mammoths to sabre tooth tigers, to mollusks and coral. The Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Paleontology Society is composed of dedicated people from all walks of life who share a common interest: fossils. The society is made up of volunteers, except for George Jefferson, the park's resident paleontologist. Some of them are young, most are retired. All work under Jefferson's supervision. The society started about 15 years ago when the original paleontologist, George Miller, made it known that he was wiling to gather and train volunteers. Julie Parks, a volunteer who lives in La Jolla but drives to Borrego every week, helped start the society. She described what the volunteers do: "We basically fulfill all of the needs of the paleontology program. We go out in the field and collect fossils, which no one else is allowed to do. The fossils are brought in, identified, prepared for curation and filed in appropriate boxes." The fossils fall into a period ranging from 500,000 years ago to 4.5 million years ago. This was the age of very large mammoths and huge camels so big a human would be able to walk under one. Also horses, sloths, antelopes, deer, smilodons and birds.

Education A Guide to Vertebrate Paleontology at The Pratt Museum of Natural History Amherst College The Pratt Museum at Amherst College has one of the most outstanding research collection of vertebrate fossils in New England, and only a portion of its holdings are on public display. To prepare for these exhibits, start with the introductory displays to the left of the main entrance. These show the main events in the evolution of plants and animals on a time scale, as well as some of the different kinds of fossils. This handout more or less follows the exhibits, although the vertebrate fossils are not always arranged in phylogenetic (or evolutionary) order.

    INTRODUCTION
    The Quaternary Period is subdivided into the Pleistocene and Holocene. The Pleistocene or " Ice Age " includes the events from 1.8 million to about 10,000 years ago. The Holocene (or Recent) includes the past 10,000 years. Vertebrate paleontologists designate the late Pleistocene (the past 250,000 years) in North America as the Rancholabrean Land Mammal Age. The type fauna for this age is at Rancho La Brea in California. Learn more about this locality and it fossils from the Museum of Paleontology at UC Berkeley or go directly to the tar pits at the George C. Page Museum and learn more about its fossils and more ; or try Ice Age Mammals from the Smithsonian The last 100,000 years or so of the Pleistocene are the Wisconsinan glacial age, the last and most extensive episode of Pleistocene glaciation. Wisconsinan glaciers reached their maximum extent 18,000 years ago, a time when continental glaciers extended to central Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Although glacial ice was several 1000 kilometers north, the advances and retreats of glaciers during the Pleistocene had dramatic effects on the biota, climate, and geomorphology of South Texas.

    PLEISTOCENE FOSSILS FROM SOUTH TEXAS
    South Texas has an excellent record of late Pleistocene fossils. Fossils occur mainly in the river channel and floodplain deposits of the Beaumont Formation and in the terrace deposits cut into the Beaumont Formation. Rancholabrean fossils from South Texas were first described by

    http://www.sdnhm.org/research/paleontology/oceanside02.html
    New excavating site in Oceanside reveals fossils of mammoth, mastodont, and tapir The set of this scene is a large river meandering through the landscape, just east of Oceanside in north San Diego County. The time is late Pleistocene, approximately 200,000 to maybe 50,000 years ago, during one of the interglacials when the sea-level was higher. Nearby the river is an oxbow lake with freshwater, created as the river took on new turns when the sea-level rose, rich with fish, turtles, and clams. Around it grows large sycamore trees, creating refuges for birds. Among the animals coming here to drink are mammoths, mastodonts, and tapirs. Our paleontologists have been busy this summer uncovering a fossil-rich excavation site in Oceanside, including one tapir being among the many fossils discovered. One of the first fossils found on this project was track ways left in the mud by either mammoths or mastodonts as they plodded along the margin of the river or pond. Later, fossil bones of a mammoth and a mastodont were also collected from the same river deposits as the tapir. Left to right: Palate with three upper cheek teeth; one vertebrae; and a rib fragment of a fossil tapir. This specimen was collected from late Pleistocene (approximately 200,000 to maybe 50,000 years ago) pond deposits east of the city of Oceanside in northern San Diego County.
