Extractions: Millions of years after the last dinosaur perished, our imaginations wonder at what were some of the largest and most intriguing animals ever to roam the Earth. What we know about these ancient creatures comes largely from paleontologists, who unearth and study the fossilized remains of the vast array of prehistoric vertebrate animals, including mammals, amphibians, fishes and reptiles. Their discoveries and research guide us back in time and illuminate an amazing and diverse ancient world. The University of Alberta Laboratory for Vertebrate Paleontology is an exceptional resource for exploring dinosaurs and other early vertebrate animals. It holds one of the finest collections of its kind in Canada, containing over 41,000 specimens, and is actively used by researchers, students and collectors. Specimens range from 450 million to 10,000 years old, with significant fossils highlighting unique discoveries that address major evolutionary questions. Highlights from this extraordinary collection are available for public discovery, exhibited in the Paleontology Museum. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

http://www.museums.ualberta.ca/dig/naturalhist/fossils/vertpaleo/collector.htm

Extractions: Many of the earliest and most significant specimens held in the Laboratory for Vertebrate Paleontology were collected and prepared by world-renowned fossil hunter George F Sternberg. A member of a famous and respected dinosaur hunting family, George Sternberg influenced the course of paleontology in North America in the early 20th century. George Sternbergs association with the University of Alberta reaches back to the developing years of the Vertebrate Paleontology Collection and an exciting time in paleontology in Alberta. During the 1920s and 1930s, the Alberta badlands were an expanding area of interest for dinosaur collectors. Using raft-based search parties and horse-drawn sleds, Sternberg routinely ventured into the area and collected numerous specimens for the University. Among the most significant of his discoveries were a soft-shelled turtle and a rare, well-preserved Stegoceras validum (a small, domed-headed dinosaur). Both discoveries influenced contemporary scientific understanding, were studied extensively and remain on display in the Paleontology Museum. George Sternbergs contributions are the roots of this remarkable collection and reinforce its esteemed position within the field of paleontology. Many of the fossils he collected and prepared remain valuable research and teaching specimens, and replicas are displayed in museums and pictured in books worldwide.
THE ROCKY ROAD OF VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY

http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/sepm/palaios/0008/fastovskyonline.html

Extractions: PALAIOS Volume 15.4 August 2000 THE ROCKY ROAD OF VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY I was thrilled when, in 1986, the first issue of PALAIOS rolled off the presses and found its way into my mailbox. Here, I thought, is finally the long-awaited yang to Paleobiology's yin. Paleobiology had transcended hoary specimen bays and parochial taxonomies, moving into something approximating the main stream of post-World War II science. Unfortunately, fifty years (or more) of field sedimentology (not to mention traditional taxonomic skills) were sometimes abandoned as paleobiologists rejoiced in the mantra, "My field area is the Treatise." In the mean time, was the geological side of paleontology dead, or was it just resting? Apparently (and thankfully) it was the latter, because despite a strong trend within paleobiology to eschew serious field work (one of its most famous and accomplished practitioners once told a student of mine - in front of me - that "You can learn everything you need to know about sedimentology by reading a book."), PALAIOS somehow came into being. As I say, I was thrilled. I imagined geobiologists and biogeologists (to coin yet more jargon) contrapuntally toddling off like Hope and Crosby into a rosy future. Whether or not geology has found its way back into paleontology sensu lato is arguable, but it seems to me that it has not yet completely found its way to my own field of vertebrate paleontology. There are a number of indicators of this. An informal census of the membership directory of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology suggests that about twice as many members of the Society are housed within biology departments as within geology departments. More tellingly, a perusal of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology - the Society's scientific organ and presumably an indicator of what is of interest
Glossary Of Vertebrate Paleontology Terms
Glossary of vertebrate paleontology terms. acetebulum n., abbrev.ac the socket on the hip into which the head of the femur fits.
http://www.kheper.auz.com/gaia/biosphere/vertebrates/glossary.htm

Extractions: anteroposteriorly adj. , an anatomical term for the front part of a bone or organ in the back. For example ; The leading edge of a phalange number five is the front edge of the last finger bone in the paddle of a plesiosaur. This term is used a great deal but is far too arbitrary as it could be made to refer to anything.that is in a skeleton or on any organ. You can use it to reference what layer of skin lays in relation to another. So the last layer of epithelial cells has a leading edge to the last layer so that back edge becomes anterioposterior to the side that follows. Because of the confusion and arbitrariness the term is better off being discarded; it is only included here as a refernece for when it appears in quoted material.

Extractions: Mark D. Uhen's Research in Vertebrate Paleontology Dorudon atrox This site contains information about me and my research on fossil vertebrates. My main interests are in the evolution of cetaceans (whales and dolphins), the timing and nature of evolutionary diversification and radiation, phylogenetic analysis, and functional morphology. If any of this sounds interesting to you, please read on! If you don't know what any of it means, hopefully you will find out. BRIEF BIOGRAPHY I was born on January 30, 1968 in the small town of Burlington, Wisconsin to Marjorie A. and Roman F. Uhen. I attended school at St. Mary's grade school and high school (now Catholic Central High School). I went on to college at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh where I received a BS with a major in geology and minor in geology in 1990. I continued my education at the University of Michigan where I received a M.S. in 1993 and Ph.D. in 1996, both in geology. My graduate advisor at Michigan was Philip D. Gingerich, Director of the Museum of Paleontology. In the fall of 1996 I was hired as the Curator of Paleontology and Zoology at the Cranbrook Institute of Science in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. I also hold appointments of Adjunct Research Scientist at the

Extractions: (after Osborn) The vertebrate paleontology collection includes approximately 80,000 cataloged specimens. These include late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic reptiles and amphibians, representing some of the earliest fully terrestrial vertebrate communities. Collections also include large early Cenozoic mammal collections from the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming used to document some of the best known cases of gradual evolutionary change over geological time. The museum holds unique specimens representing the early diversification of primates and whales, including numerous steps in the evolutionary transition of whales from terrestrial mammals with hindlimbs to aquatic animals lacking external hindlimbs. Important collections of late Cenozoic fishes demonstrate long records of diversification within major lacustrine systems. Finally, late Cenozoic mammal collections include the best record of human association with extinct Ice Age mastodons found anywhere on the continent. Page updated Feedback

Extractions: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Quaternary Vertebrate Paleontology - is the study of fossil organisms that lived during the last 1.8 million years, and it is an ongoing project at this Museum focusing on the Alberta Province with many puzzles still in place. (For instance, it is puzzling that fossils of certain animal species are absent from Alberta such as the stag-elk and giant beaver despite their presence to the south, in the lower 48 United States, and to the north, in Beringia -those parts of Yukon Territory and Alaska that remained unglaciated during the Wisconsinan glaciation.

http://www.uoregon.edu/~rmotani/paleoiv/

Extractions: SYNOPSIS This course outlines the evolution of vertebrates, including ourselves, as examined by fossil evidence, in conjunction with knowledge from living vertebrates. Emphasis will be placed on such topics as evolutionary convergence, physical constraints, and the time line of vertebrate evolution in the history of Earth and its environment. The course aims to provide future earth and evolutionary scientists a framework in which to understand the context of their research in relation to the evolution of our own kind (vertebrates). I strongly believe that having such a big picture holds the key to their success as independent researchers. Therefore, students from earth sciences, as well as evolutionary sciences, are encouraged to enroll. OFFICE HOURS ETC.

http://vortex.weather.brockport.edu/~jmassare/rivp/info.htm

Extractions: FIELD WORK: This is the location and collection of fossils specimens. It involves extraction of fossils from rocks or sediment and their transport to a research facility. Significant data regarding the orientation and spatial relationships of the fossil specimens, the exact geographic location at which they were found, and the exact rock horizon (stratigraphic position) is carefully recorded. Without the latter two pieces of information, the scientific value of the specimens is greatly diminished. These kinds of field information provide biostratigraphy (relative age of specimens), paleoecology (reconstruction ancient environments) and taphonomy (cause of death, burial history). LABORATORY ANALYSIS: There are several steps to laboratory analysis. The first is preparation: the preservation, sorting, and reassembling of the fossil specimens collected from the field. Next is the study of these specimen, a close scrutiny of the material in order to deal with specific problems or series of problems. What kind of animal does the specimen represent? Is it like any other specimens that have been collected? But beyond the question of identification, vertebrate paleontologists are concerned with phylogeny (the animal's history and evolution), comparative anatomy (what is looked like, how it moved), systematics (relationships to other fossils or living animals), paleoecology (how the animal lived), etc.
Vertebrate Paleontology Of The Balcones Fault Trend
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/geo/BalconesEscarpment/pages41-50.html

Extractions: ABSTRACT Vertebrate fossils are known from numerous localities of Cretaceous and Quaternary age in the Balcones fault zone. Cretaceous vertebrate remains range in age from Neocomian to Maastrichtian and represent the following groups,Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, and Reptilia (Ichthysaura, Plesiosauria, Squamata, Crocodilia, Pterosauria, Saurischia and Ornithischia). Trackways of both ornithischian and saurischian dinosaurs are known from the Glen Rose Formation. Quaternary vertebrates are known from cave deposits of the Edwards Plateau and terrace deposits on the Gulf Coastal,Plain. The mammalian assemblages from these deposits provide data on the Pleistocene and Holocene environments of Central Texas.
