Jere Lipp Editorial Issue 2
When television, magazines, newspapers, books or movies misrepresent paleontology(or science in general), we should respond with the facts and proper
http://palaeo-electronica.org/1998_2/editor/jere_ed.htm

Extractions: Paleontology is the most popular science among the general public worldwide. Only astronomy comes close to it. The recent movies, TV shows, books, and magazine articles based on or including paleontological themes are seen or read by hundreds of millions of people around the globe. That interest and attention puts a good deal of responsibility and obligation on paleontologists whether we want it or not. Much of what is presented by the media regarding paleontology is simply wrong or misleading. This provides us with a great opportunity, as well as an obligation, to improve scientific understanding among adults and kids alike; most of whom are scientifically illiterate. As paleontologists, we should take every opportunity to correct mistakes and outright foolishness about our subject in the media as well as to praise the good media work we do see. This is getting easier every day, thanks to the Internet and email. many people, but they want to be seen by the right Palaeontologica Electronica can help too. Why not a column with reviews, written by whoever sees problems or excellence in the media, that sets the record straight, that calls a spade a spade, and minces no words? Have this as a separately indexed page, so that all the Web search engines pick it up. Have titles on each page with the name of the organization and the reviewed itemlike "NBC’s Mysterious Origins of Man." In this way, media organizations and sponsors will become aware that we are watching, that we care, and that we will make our views known widely. All major commercial organizations now track references to them on the Internet, because they know it can hurt or help them. Let’s take advantage of it! Let’s use our new resource to improve our own image.
Jere Lipps Editorial,
Importantly, most people in general learn of paleontology as youngsters.They get just as excited and joyful about it as we do.
http://palaeo-electronica.org/1998_1/editor/jere.htm

Extractions: Paleontology, a most wonderful discipline, has had a terrific past two centuries. All of it was filled with discovery, fascination, ideas and adventure. Not that the going is always easy, but with the subject, we are lucky indeed. Few have the working dimensions we doat least four billion years of time, the entire earth and more, and every living or once-living thing fall under our scrutiny. We work with such a broad range of subjects. What a joy! What intrigue! What a job! Oh, there was controversy and more than a few were wrong, but it was exciting. And the next couple of hundred years will remain exciting times for paleontology, without doubt in my mind. A new journal in a new medium at the start of a new millennium is thus an opportunity to reflect on how lucky we are to be paleontologists and how we can use paleontology to influence more people, more widely than we ever imagined. Who among us is not thrilled to do paleontology? Who walks reluctantly to their lab or museum? Who is not joyful to find a fossil? Who cannot think of neat ideas about past life? Who retires completely? Paleontology is, as the avian paleontologist Loye Holmes Miller said in reference to his own career, "Lifelong Boyhood". That career, as with many of us, began as a child tracking down birds and fossils and ended only with death at age 96. So many paleontologists go that way, thinking about one fossil or another to the very end. In a time when 80% of the working public is unhappy with their jobs, we in paleontology are fortunate! Scientists in general are pretty happy people, but I think we have it better than most.

http://www.palaeos.com/Palaeo/palaeontology.htm

Extractions: "To trace that life in its manifold changes through past ages to the present is a ... difficult task, but one from which modern science does not shrink. In this wide field, every earnest effort will meet with some degree of success; every year will add new and important facts; and every generation will bring to light some law, in accordance with which ancient life has been changed into life as we see it around us to-day." Vice Presidential Address, AAAS, August 30, 1877 Paleontology (or Palaeontology) is the study of prehistoric animal and plant life through the analysis of fossil remains. The study of these remains enables scientists to trace the evolutionary history of extinct as well as living organisms. Paleontologists also play a major role in unraveling the mysteries of the earth's rock strata (layers). Using detailed information on how fossils are distributed in these layers of rock, paleontologists help prepare accurate geologic maps, which are essential in the search for oil, water, and minerals The importance of geology in paleontology cannot be overemphasized. We deal with the tiny fraction of organisms which happened to be buried in deposits of an appropriate sediment, which were subsequently preserved, which were subsequently lithified, which were not subsequently metamorphosed or eroded or buried outside of our reach, which were later exposed, and which were discovered and identified.

Dinosaur Paleontology
Although the unit focuses on one particular group of organisms, it can serveas an introduction to the more general methods of paleontology.
http://www.accessexcellence.org/AE/AEC/AEF/1995/stefanski_dinosaur.html

Extractions: Notes for Teacher: Until recently, dinosaurs were looked upon as sluggish, dim witted beasts dragging their tails in the swamps. With the commercialization of Jurassic Park, young people today have a very different view of dinosaur life, but what they probably do not understand is the process by which scientists have revised their interpretation of the fossil record. This unit is intended to help students engage in and appreciate the process by which we can use the fossil record to gain a better understanding of the life history of dinosaurs. Although the unit focuses on one particular group of organisms, it can serve as an introduction to the more general methods of paleontology. Moreover, it is designed to help students hone their skills in general hypothesis testing so that they will be better prepared for future inquiry into other areas of science. The unit, which I've expanded into a summer field course, does require a great deal of advanced preparation on the part of the instructor. However, tremendous resources exist for teachers to educate themselves about current trends in dinosaur paleontology, and with the help of several informative publications and videos, and the services of several excellent museums (including one accessible on the Internet), the needed background information can be gained more quickly than one might think.

http://www.ptrm.org/page/paleo.html

Extractions: The demise of the dinosaurs, along with the changes in local paleoenvironments, are just a couple of areas in which the Paleontology Department has been conducting research over the past decade. This research is conducted in the intermittent barren landscapes of the Little Missouri Badlands in southwest North Dakota. These badlands represent the latest Cretaceous Period, which was home to the dinosaurs, giant marina reptiles, and extinct exotic plants. Research teams associated with the museum have been working in these ancient environments collecting fossils of vertebrates, invertebrates and plants to try to reassemble what was present 65 million years ago. As a result of these studies, clues are emerging in regards to how the plants and animals are interacting, how abundant they were and what was present at the time of the meteor impact. Collecting a microsite from the surface Removing soil from on top of a dinosaur site The fossil remains of these plants and animals are brought back to our museum where they are prepared, curated and studied. Displays depicting the results of our findings are presented to the general public in our museum. Research results have been published by the museum staff, and with collaborators in leading scientific journals. Collecting small specimens for the lab Preparing a dinosaur bone in the lab The museum also studies, collects and curates fossils from all of the different aged outcrops present in the region. These include vertebrates, invertebrates and plants from 73 million year old marine deposits up to the latest deposits of the area, which are 28 million years old. Some of the animals that have been found are mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, dinosaurs, and early mammals that include camels, rhinoceroses, horses and giant pigs.
