Extractions: Home Information Membership Support Vertebrate Paleontology Collection The Vertebrate Paleontology collection contains material of Early Mesozoic tetrapods from the Newark Supergroup in Virginia and from the renowned fissure deposits of southwest Britain, as a result of Dr. Nicholas Fraser 's specialization. The quality and variety of material (especially the pseudosuchian archosaurs) from the early Mesozoic collections will soon enable it to be ranked among the most valuable in the United States. Virginia's Miocene marine mammals and Pleistocene terrestrial vertebrates are well represented and probably rank as the second-best collections of their kind in the United States.

The distinction between lecture and lab activities will not be sharp. Lab will emphasize actual fossil, cast, and modern animal examination, fossil preparation techniques, slide shows and films, student presentations, and group discussions of recent controversies in the field. LSU fossil vertebrate collections, both real and cast, are most extensive for mammals, so that mammal material will be heavily utilized. A long, one-day field trip to the Miocene sites on Fort Polk in western Louisiana will be required. The class grade will be determined on: 1. Three short-essay exams, one following each of three sections of the course.
Handbook Of Texas Online: VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY
http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/VV/bfv1.html

Extractions: format this article to print VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY . Although fossil vertebrate remains were reported from Austin County, Texas, more than a century ago, these and other fossils obtained over the next four decades seemed to be of little more than local interest. However, the Lower Permian (Paleozoic) fossil fishes, amphibians, and reptiles discovered in north central Texas by Jacob Boll qv around 1870 attracted worldwide attention because of their bizarre appearance and diversity. Darwin's Origin of Species had appeared in 1859, and the controversy it engendered was raging. Dinosaurs had only recently been discovered, and O. C. Marsh's Dinosaurs of North America (1896) brought them to public attention. Among the Texas fossils then recovered were skeletons of Seymouria , a yard-long, heavy-bodied creature of lizard-like appearance. Seymouria has features of both amphibians and reptiles and was considered a link between these two vertebrate classes. Its exact position in the animal kingdom is still debated, but it is usually considered more amphibian than reptile. Boll collected these fossils for Edward D. Cope, qv Philadelphia Academy of Science, from 1877 to 1880. After Boll's death, Cope employed William F. Cummins

Extractions: Dr Henry Duncan had been given tremendous gifts. Of all his skills and interests, geology and science were his passions. His interest in geology led to identification of the first quadruped fossil footprints to be found in Britain. He presented a paper to the Royal Society in Edinburgh on the discovery of the footprints at Corncockle Quarry, near Lochmaben. A small sample of these footprints is exhibited at the museum.

http://www.andrews.edu/biology/news/item/22

Extractions: Vertebrate Paleontology Meetings The two presentations showed that hibernation in ground squirrels is recorded in growth lines, analogous to tree rings, preserved in their lower incisor teeth. "It's pretty remarkable," says Goodwin. "We were able to show convincingly that a peculiar set of features evident in ground squirrel teeth is closely tied to hibernation. We also showed that this set of features was evident in fossil ground squirrels from the Ice Age." Goodwin and Hayward also took in many technical presentations on a wide variety of fossils, from dinosaurs to birds and whales. "There is an enormous amount of knowledge to be gained at meetings like this," says Goodwin. "It's like drinking from a fire hose!" Contact Person: Tom Goodwin
Vertebrate Paleontology Of Isla De Mona, Puerto Rico
vertebrate paleontology of Isla de Mona, Puerto Rico. by Edward Frankand Richard Benson University of Minnesota, Department of Geology
http://www.geocities.com/ed_frank00/resume/vertabs.html

Extractions: Bell Museum of Natural History. Abstract: During July 1995 vertebrate fossil materials were collected from over a dozen sample localities in caves on Isla de Mona Puerto Rico. Guano deposits at these localities were excavated and sifted to recover bone materials. The predominant vertebrate fossils recovered, present at every sifting site, were bones Audubons shearwater ( Puffinus lherminieri ). Fragmentary undifferentiated lizard bones were also found sporadically in the sifted material. Fossil skeletal bones and fresh bones from other bird species were found on the surface of the cave floors at several localities. Extensive fossil guano deposits found on the island are interpreted to be of mixed origin with deposits near entrances being primarily derived from bird guano, and deposits from the darker interiors of the caves derived from bat guano.

http://www.cs.wayne.edu/~f10379/fishlake/vertebrate.html

Extractions: Welcome. You are about to embark on an exciting adventure. It will be fun, yet studious, three-week session filled with outdoors activities, field trips to museums and ecavation sites (including participation in an archeological dig), laboratories, classroom settings, and yes, exams. Course Philosophy: Paleontology is the key to understanding recent evolutionary phenomena. This course will explore the fossil history of vertebrates, its occurrences within the geological time scale, its paleozoogeographical distribution, and its phylogenetic interpretation. We will learn various methods of preserving specimens, including casting of fossils. We will also learn how to integrate data from modern techniques for phylogenetic reconstruction with those inferred from different disciplines. Emphasis will be on the evolution of vertebrates by analysis of unique characters (shared-derived or synapomorphies) in a phylogenetic tree a cladogram. We will study Michigan vertebrate fossils, compare the fauna and flora found in an Eocene fossil site at Messel in Germany with those of another Eocene site, e.g., the Fayûm in Egypt. Etymology and mnemonics will be employed to help memory. Conduct of Course: Alternate lectures and field sessions, depending on local/daily circumstances. Lectures and laboratory will include overview of the fossil record during the geological periods, up to the Pleistocene of Michigan; taphonomy; diagnostic ordinal, familial and species characters/key; vertebrate evolution and the fossil record, with emphasis on Mammalia. When possible, audiovisual and handouts will be employed. Laboratory activities will/could include identification of paleontological/fossil specimens, general and specific knowledge of skeletal anatomy, and taphonomy. Emphasis is to learn, having fun, incorporating detective and inductive techniques.

North Dakota Geological Survey Paleontology
Site by vertebrate paleontologist Johnathon Campbell
http://www.state.nd.us/ndfossils/index.html

Extractions: The North Dakota Geological Survey Fossil Resource Management Program was inaugurated in 1983 primarily in response to concern about the historic and ongoing removal of fossils from North Dakota. The program has three primary objectives: 1) To promote public understanding and awareness of the importance of North Dakotas fossil resources through a variety of educational activities including fossil exhibits, tours, and presentations; 2) To identify and preserve North Dakotas significant fossil sites and specimens; and 3) To conduct research to determine the kinds of organisms that inhabited North Dakota at various times in the geologic past and to determine the types of climates and environments in which those organisms lived. Two laws were passed in 1989 that have greatly enhanced the North Dakota Geological Surveys ability to manage the States paleontological resources. The first of these laws, North Dakotas Paleontological Resource Protection Act (Section 54-17.3, N.D.C.C.), gives the North Dakota Industrial Commission, acting through the office of the State Geologist, the responsibility to protect paleontological resources located on land owned by the State or its political subdivisions. Also in 1989, the North Dakota Geological Survey was given statutory responsibility to operate and maintain a public repository for North Dakota fossils (Section 54-17.4, N.D.C.C.). The North Dakota State Fossil Collection is housed at the North Dakota Heritage Center in Bismarck.
