Ella Aerts Period 5 Your Inner Fish Discussion Answers Chapter 1 - Finding Your Inner Fish Neil and his colleagues focused on rocks from 375 million years ago because fossils from 360 million years ago were amphibians with necks and four legs. However rocks that are 380 million years old looked more like fish we know today, with fins and scale. So, it made sense that they would find the transitioning fossils in rocks that was 375 million years old.
Shubin was convinced that the Arctic Circle had the best chance for the discovery of this creature. He performed extensive research regarding the antiquity of the rocks, and the Arctic Circle had the oldest rocks than any place he had ever been to. He always found fossils and added to the evidence of the species, but he wanted the creature itself- fossil evidence of the actual animal itself. At first, to Shubin’s dismay he couldn’t find evidence of the fossil, and when he was packing up his gear to leave, something incredible happened. A grad student who was part of Shubin’s crew found a tremendous number of fossils.
That is because they are living. So they can observe and study their behaviors. What tolls they use, what do they eat and what is their everyday task? There is so much you can learn from them. However, for archeologist this is a bit difficult.
Following her father’s death, Mary was the primary supporter of her mother Molly and her brother Joseph. Their poverty was dire enough that they were living off of parish relief for several years . So when Mary made her first significant discovery of a marine reptile related to dinosaurs that would be christened Ichthyosaurus, it was nothing more than a financial gain to them, as Mary and her family sold the creature’s bones to a local for 23 pounds . The fossil changed hands several times before eventually being sold to the British Museum where its significance was recognized. The Fossil Hunter by Shelly Emling emphasizes the importance of Mary’s early find.
The reading claims that, Edmontosaurus migrated every Winter and Provide some Reasons to Support the hypothesis. HOWEVER, the Lecture disagreed with the statement and LOGICALLY refutes each of the Reasons. Firstly, the Lecturer Claims That, Edmontosaurus did not migrate to Find Food. She said that, summers were warmer than today, and the sun shines 24 hours a day.
In the article, “Anthropology Inc.”, Graeme Wood describes how anthropologists study a specific group of people, and how anthropologist practice research. When I was reading the article, the first example was the study of “Corrida de lesbianas” in home parties. Their goal was to write an ethnographic survey of drinking parties. The anthropologist approached to the study of this people by focusing on what, when, and how people drank Vodka.
The first steps in the creation of an exhibit are to select a theme or topic, and collect information to support the topic. The theme for the new exhibition are Fossils with a focus point on primates, and the title will be “Primates and the Journey to Fossilization”. The exhibition will provide visuals and explain to the general public the process of fossilization, the different dating techniques, and the conservation of fossils. The information describing what a fossil is and the process of fossilization will provide the audience with background information that they can connect to primate fossils found and how they became fossils--furthermore, will inform the audience that there are more types of fossils, than dinosaurs. The text will explain that fossils are created after an organism dies, therefore, fossils are the preserved
Have you ever wondered about the past? How did humans and other creatures live together? Such questions create curiosity that makes one want to search for answers. When it comes to prehistoric researching, however, the answers will not be that accurate. This is because there were only remnants and monuments that indicate what probably happened at that time.
Maiacetus, an extinct early whale species from the Eocene period that lived roughly 49 million years ago, is one of the video's famous examples. The Maiacetus fossils offer remarkable traits that span the gap between terrestrial animals and contemporary whales. For example, Maiacetus has pelvic bones, including hip bones, that are similar to those seen in terrestrial
Experimental Archaeology focuses on experiments and theories in order to determine what possible use a certain artifact was for, such as in a utilitarian sense or symbolically. Archaeologists then are able to develop a sense of how the people who used those specific artifacts functioned in their society. The science of experiments in Anthropology has been helpful in gaining insight as to how certain cultures have lived in the past. One such example comes from the Journal of Archaeological Science. In the Stone-boiling maize with limestone: experimental results and implications for nutrition among SE Utah preceramic groups by Emily C. Ellwood, M. Paul Scott, William D. Lipe, R.G. Matson, and John G. Jones, the authors discuss and attempt
Recently a group of scientists dug up an old creature
Jurassic Park takes place in the 90’s, a time when technology was on the move. The majority of the movie takes place on Isla Nublar, an island close to Costa Rica which has been transformed into a zoo for dinosaurs. The main premise of this book is that John Hammond, a dinosaur enthusiast and bioengineer, clones dinosaurs using blood from ancient mosquitos preserved in amber. He then creates a zoo like environment for the various dinosaurs, and hopes to be able to open it to the public, the rich public, as he is after the money aspect. Hammond makes his park so that it requires little human presence, running primarily on a variety of computer programs.
One particularly good specimen was a female mammoth in her 50s, nicknamed Buttercup, that lived about 40,000 years ago. They put the DNA of the
What motivates me is that always I have been hearing of fossil fuels always and that it can be found from dead organisms which died millions years ago and that is what we get our crude from and serves as one of the most needed commodity in the world today. People have been fascinated by fossils for thousands of years, and as long ago as ancient Greek times were correctly interpreting them as the remains of long dead creatures. Fossils are evidence of ancient life forms or ancient habitats which have been preserved by natural processes. The significance of this topic is that, the earliest reported fossil discoveries date from 3.5 billion years ago, however it wasn't until approximately 600 million years ago that complex multi-cellular life
Have you ever heard of fossils? Animals have been changing ever since the beginning of living things. The animals have to adapt to their environment, like the whale. The whale used to have feet, we know this because of their fossils, and since they swam more than they walked on land, they are losing their legs and feet over time. This shows that animals change over time, and therefore evolution is real.
