   Extractions: 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 240,000 are catalogued and 225,000 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.

   Extractions: Please help improve this article by adding reliable references . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (July 2007) Vertebrate paleontology seeks to discover the behavior, reproduction and appearance of extinct spined animals, through the study of their fossilized remains. It also tries to connect, on the evolutionary timeline, the animals of the past and their modern day relatives. The fossil record clearly shows the evolutionary progression from early aquatic vertebrates to mammals. The earliest known fossil vertebrates were heavily armored fish discovered in rocks from the Ordovician Period about 500 to 430 million years ago. (The phrase 'million years ago' is shortened to 'mya' in most paleontological references). The Devonian Period (395 to 345 mya) brought in the changes that allowed primitive air-breathing fish to remain on land as long as they wished, thus becoming the first terrestrial vertebrates, the amphibians Amphibians developed forms of reproduction and locomotion and a metabolism better suited for life exclusively on land, becoming more reptilian.

Artiodactyls include numerous living mammals, such as cows, camels, deer, moose and hippos. Molecular studies pointed toward the hippos in particular as the closest living relative to whales, yet paleontologists poo-poo this idea, since hippos don't show up in the fossil record until rather recently. Instead paleontologists have pointed toward the mesonychids, large carnivorous hoofed mammals as the group to give rise to whales. Whether you are in the paleontology camp or molecular camp, both camps point toward rather large ancestors for whales. Yet the most primitive whales ( Pakicetus Ichthyolestes Artiocetus and Rodhocetus ) are medium sized mammals, yet differ completely from the most primitive artiodactyl known as

15. Society Of Vertebrate Paleontology Speaks Out On Creation Museum
    Professional paleontologists from around the world are concerned about the misrepresentation of science at the newly opened Creation Museum in Petersburg,

    Extractions: Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark ScienceDaily (Jul. 30, 2007) See also: The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, a world-wide scientific and educational organization concerned with vertebrate paleontology, contends that the museum presents visitors with a view of earth history that has been scientifically disproven for over a century. "Ken Ham is not recognized as a scientist or educator among experts in the fields of geology and paleontology, and his views on the interpretation of Biblical texts are extremist. Visitors to his ‘museum’ may arrive knowing little about these sciences, but they will leave misled and intellectually deceived,” said Dr. Kevin Padian, professor and curator, University of California, Berkeley and president of the National Center for Science Education. The fossil exhibits at the Creation Museum discount the last 150 years of paleontological and geological discovery. Not only are transitional fossils, including snakes with limbs and dinosaurs with feathers, abundant in the fossil record, but radiometric dating allows paleontologists to pinpoint the timing of major events in the ancient history of the earth.

    Extractions: Welcome from the 2008 Host Committee Members and Friends of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, The Cleveland Museum of Natural History and Case Western Reserve University are excited to host the 68th Annual Meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. This is the first time the meeting has been held in Cleveland, the "North Coast" of the United States. Cleveland is located in northeast Ohio where the Cuyahoga River flows into Lake Erie. The area was once owned by Connecticut (it lies directly west of that state) and was known as the Connecticut Western Reserve; the phrase "western reserve" is still common in place names and organizations throughout the area. In 1814, Moses Cleaveland founded the city that would later bear his name (more or less — the spelling was changed around 1830) and the Greater Cleveland area has subsequently grown to become the largest metropolitan region in Ohio.

I am an Associate Professor of Geology, specializing in vertebrate paleontology (reptiles) and computer applications in geology (see some of my publications below). Currently I am the WebMaster for the College of Science and Engineering and for the Department of Geology and Chair of the TCU Computer and Telecommunications Committee. I was born in the Panama Canal Zone during the early years of I Love Lucy. I have B.S. (1975) and M.A. (1977) degrees in Geology from the University of Texas at Austin and a Ph.D. (1982) in Anatomy from the University of Chicago . I taught as a lecturer in geology at the University of Texas at Austin from 1982 to 1985 and have been at TCU since 1985. I have team-conducted a number of EOSAT-sponsored image processing/geology workshops here at TCU, using our computer facilities. With others I have conducted microcomputer image processing workshops for ERIM and also at ECOINFORMA meetings. On the fun side, I have consulted with the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago and the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville about fossil reptile dioramas and murals. I have been a judge in the Tarrant County Science Fair for a number of years, have twice judged at the International Science Fair and given talks to the public on various aspects of geology and paleontology.
