Extractions: The Panama Paleontology Project Dr. Anthony G. Coates , Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC; Dr. Jeremy B. Jackson , Scripps Institute of Oceanography/STRI, Dr. Helena Fortunato , STRI. The Panama Paleontology Project, an association of 32 scientists in seven countries, is studying the rise and closure of the Isthmus of Panama and how this has changed the ecology and marine fauna in the Pacific and Atlantic. Using techniques such as detailed studies of fossil plankton, radiometric dating, and paleomagnetic stratigraphy, a continuous record of the timing of a complex sequence of geologic events has been established. Fossils are being studied by a team of experts in various institutions and compared to the living forms through dredging studies, so that the evolutionary history of the fauna can be compared to the physical events to reconstruct the history of the isthmus and its ecological consequences. Numerous expeditions to many locations in Bocas del Toro, many using the RV Urracá , have amassed an unparalleled collection of more than 2000 species of marine molluscs, corals, bryozoa, fish, and microfossils. These have been entered into a large computerized database including digitized images of the species now available on the web. With these, and future expected studies, Bocas del Toro has become one of the most important and complete geological sites in the entire Caribbean.
Paleontology Of The Rendezvous Region THE RENDEZVOUS REGION paleontology. reptiles (mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and turtles), fish (including sharks including clams, cephalopods, snails, corals, and crabs http://tradecorridor.com/walhalla/paleontology.htm
Extractions: Paleontology Rocks of the Carlile, Niobrara, and Pierre Formations are exposed in road cuts and along rivers in the Rendezvous Region. These rocks were deposited in subtropical to warm temperate seas, the Western Interior Seaway, which covered North Dakota during Late Cretaceous time from about 90 million to 80 million years ago. Fossils of animals and plants that inhabited those seas are entombed in these rocks. Remains of marine reptiles (mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and turtles), fish (including sharks), birds, and invertebrates (including clams, cephalopods, snails, corals, and crabs) have been recovered from the rocks. Exhibits of fossils of the prehistoric life that inhabited the Rendezvous Region can be seen at the Pembina State Museum, Pembina; Icelandic State Park, Cavalier; Cavalier County Museum, Dresden; and the Mordern Museum, Morden, Manitoba.

Extractions: CNIDARIANS From Eldredge (1991) INTRODUCTION The phylum Cnidaria (Coelenterata in some texts) includes both solitary and colonial organisms that have radial and/or bilateral symmetry. Typical cnidarians alternate each generation between a fixed polyp stage and a free living medusoid stage. Most cnidarians are considered carnivores because of their ability to actually catch food with their stinging cells called nematocysts. Some groups, particularly the reef-corals employ photosynthetic algae (zooxanthellae) within their tissues in a symbiotic relationship to aid in supplying food needed for their rapid growth. The cnidarian classes Anthozoa (corals) and Hydrozoa have calcified skeletons of aragonite and calcite and a good fossil record, whereas the long fossil record of the class Scyphozoa (jelly fish) is comprised mostly of molds and casts. Class Octocorallia is not well represented in the fossil record because of its poorly calcified skeletons. The general form of coral colonies may be quite similar in unrelated anthozoans (e.g., some colonial Tabulates and Scleractinians) because form represents a basic response to long-term environmental conditions (i.e., limiting factors such as light, turbidity, and especially wave and current energy). The first part of the lab introduces you to the taxonomy of the Cnidarians and their geologic ranges. The second part concentrates on aspects of coral morphology, coloniality, and integration that are used to deduce ancient environments

SDNHM: Paleontology And Our Local Desert Thomas A. Deméré, Ph.D.; Curator, Department of paleontology. In the fish Creek and Coyote Mountains are pen shells, oysters, whelks, sea urchins, and corals. http://www.sdnhm.org/research/paleontology/locdesrt.html
Extractions: I will never forget an experience I had during a field geology class in my undergraduate days. We were mapping the distribution of different rock layers in the Coyote Mountains out near Ocotillo. The geology in this area is quite complex and I had been working my way up a ridge-line composed of hard, crystalline metamorphic rocks when I noticed that the ground changed from hard rock to a soft, fossil-bearing sandstone. (I figured out later that a fault line separated the two rock types.) From this vantage point, as far as the eye could see was desert, yet at my feet were the remains of ancient sea creatures scallops, and oysters. At that moment I felt a real sense of the history of this place. I could envision the ancient sea in which these prehistoric animals lived and imagine the quantities of sand and mud brought down to the sea by ancient streams to bury and entomb them. My imagination then turned to the tectonic forces which altered the position of land and sea, tilting and shearing the rocks to form the complex terrain around me. I have since felt these sensations in other areas, but the desert still provides me with the most dramatic sense of earth history. Similar experiences have no doubt been shared by countless generations and I imagine that fossils must have sparked the interest of early people, who during their wanderings in the natural world found sea shells high on the sides of mountains far from any ocean waters. The "great flood" mentioned in many of the world's creation mythologies was probably an early attempt to explain such occurrences; for it is fundamental to our makeup to be curious and to seek explanations of natural wonders.

(Right) Ancestor of all: Stanley holds a 530-million-year-old fish fossil discovered at China's Chengjiang Biota that may be the forerunner of all vertebrates, including humans. If given access to a time machine, some people would cruise off to witness the signing of the Declaration of Independence or maybe the birth of Christ. But UM paleontologist George Stanley would take a longer jaunt perhaps jumping back 200 million years to visit the first reefs of the Mesozoic Era. Or maybe he'd zip back 540 million years to the dawn of the Cambrian Period when simple worms, jellyfish and multicellular critters living in the Earth's oceans suddenly at least in geologic terms exploded into myriad new forms.

Extractions: Transcribed from volume II of Kansas: a cyclopedia of state history, embracing events, institutions, industries, counties, cities, towns, prominent persons, etc. ... / with a supplementary volume devoted to selected personal history and reminiscence. Standard Pub. Co. Chicago : 1912. 3 v. in 4. : front., ill., ports.; 28 cm. Vols. I-II edited by Frank W. Blackmar. Transcribed July 2002 by Carolyn Ward. Paleontology , the science of the ancient life that inhabited the earth, is the foundation upon which the geological history of the earth in a great part rests. By the aid of fossils, the remains of ancient life, the succession of rocks, their distribution and relations are determined. Kansas is famous as a region for fossils, and within the boundaries of the state varied and remarkable fossil records have been found. Accord ing to Zittel, the study of paleontology is carried on by means of fossils which are "all remains or traces of plants and animals which have lived before the beginning of the present geological period, and have been preserved in rocks." The earliest work with regard to fossils in Kansas was done in the western part of the state. The first person to make any systematic collection was the late Prof. B. F. Mudge, professor of geology at the Kansas State Agricultural College, who headed an expedition up the Republican and Solomon rivers in 1870. In Kansas the upper Cretaceous has been divided into the Fort Pierre, subdivided into Arickaree shales and Lisbon shales; Niobrara, subdivided into Peteranodon beds and Fort Hayes beds; Benton, subdivided into the upper and lower group; Dakota; Comanche; red beds and Permian. The richest fossil fields are found in the chalk beds of Rush county, the Niobrara chalk of Trego county and of Plumb creek, and the Fort Hayes beds of the Smoky Hill river in Gove county.

Extractions: Creationists are fond of making sweeping claims about the nature of fossils and of fossiliferous rocks, but on closer examination, their claims usually break down. An excellent example of this can be found by taking the creationist flood-geology concept and testing it against the fossil beds that are found around Cincinnati, Ohio. I consider these rocks a perfect testing ground for creationist claims they are simple, straightforward sedimentary rocks with no igneous intrusions, no faults, no slanting, folding, or other deformation. In other words, nothing that might distort the record. They are today as they were when they were formed. If creation claims are true, we should be able to verify them in these rocks as well as in any others, and far better than in many. (Note: I don't claim that what is said here is rigorous or authoritative. This is simply one amateur's analysis of these rocks and what they show.) If you take a map of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, and draw a circle of fifty kilometers radius centered on downtown Cincinnati, the area inside the circle contains some of the finest Ordovician Period fossil beds in the entire world. In fact, a part of the Upper Ordovician has been designated the Cincinnatian epoch, because its fossils are better exposed here than anywhere else on Earth. Above the Kope Formation lies the FAIRVIEW Formation. This formation also consists of limestone and shale, both similar in quality to the Kope Formation rocks. The major difference lies in the layering. In the Fairview Formation, the limestones and shales are more evenly distributed: 20-50cm of shale layers, then a limestone bed 5-10cm thick, then more shale. A given limestone bed may consist of two distinct layers of limestone.

Extractions: Corals are comprised of colonies of tiny animals called polyps , which belong to the phylum Cnidaria . Each polyp resembles a small sea anemone and uses its stinging tentacles to paralyze and feed on plankton Polyps secrete calcium carbonate, which forms the skeleton of coral and the framework of coral reefs. Corals have a symbiotic relationship with microscopic algae called zooxanthellae that live inside each polyp. Zooxanthellae are photosynthetic and convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbohydrates. This provides nutrients for the polyp , which in return provides a secure environment with access to sunlight for the zooxanthellae Montastrea cavernosa
