     Extractions: The Paleontology Collections are an excellent way to journey back in time to an astounding and diverse ancient world. With over two million invertebrate fossils, the Collections are a comprehensive record of dynamic, early invertebrate life. A great number of the specimens are unique, collected in the 1950s and 1960s by petroleum companies during oil exploration in Western and Northern Canada and donated to the University of Alberta in the 1970s. Combined with fossils collected elsewhere in the world, the specimens are a valuable and engaging resource for students, researchers and the public. Highlights of the Collections are displayed in the Paleontology Museum. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

104. SDNHM: Paleontology FAQ
     Frequently Asked Questions about paleontology. Answered by Tom Deméré. What is a fossil? fossils are the remains and/or traces of prehistoric life.  
     http://www.sdnhm.org/research/paleontology/paleofaq.html
     
     Extractions: Fossils are the remains and/or traces of prehistoric life. The critical factor is age. Fossils have to be older than 10,000 years, the generally accepted temporal boundary marking the end of the last Pleistocene glacial event. Fossil remains include bones, teeth, shells, and wood. Fossil traces include footprints, burrows, impressions, molds, casts, and coprolites. How deep do you have to dig to find fossils? Fossils are found in the sedimentary rock layers in which they were originally buried. So, the question really is, where do these layers occur? The sea cliffs at Torrey Pines State Reserve provide excellent exposures of 48-50 million year old fossil-bearing sedimentary rocks. The fossils in these rocks occur right at the surface because erosion has done the "digging" for us. Other FAQs: Birds Fossils Insects Mammals ... Seashells Where can I see fossils in San Diego County?

     Extractions: The most common body fossils found are from the hard parts of the body, including bones, claws and teeth. More rarely, fossils have been found of softer body tissues . Body fossils include: Bones - these fossils are the main means of learning about dinosaurs. The fossilized bones of a tremendous number of species of dinosaurs have been found since 1818, when the first dinosaur bone was discovered . The first nearly-complete skeleton (of Hadrosaurus foulkii) was found in 1858 in New Jersey, USA. Teeth and Claws - Sometimes a bit of a broken tooth of a carnivore is found with another dinosaur's bones, especially those of herbivores. Lots of fossilized teeth have been found, including those of

     paleontology AND BEACH fossils OF THE NEW YORK BIGHT. This web page is a short collection of images of fossils collected from Rockaway  
     http://www.geo.hunter.cuny.edu/bight/fossil.html
     
     Extractions: This web page is a short collection of images of fossils collected from Rockaway Beach (Queens, NY), Staten Island, and Sandy Hook (NJ). The conclusion that some of these items are actually of antiquity is purely subjective. Taphonomy is the study of how (and why) fossils are preserved. Modern geologic processes can take practically any bone or shell material and give it a "fossil" appearance. For instance, modern shells commonly become attached to iron debris (shipwrecks, bottle tops, etc.) as seawater reacts with the iron to form rust. In addition, shell accumulations in the highest tidal range are subjected to frequent wetting and drying by rain or highest tides. This infrequent wetting of shell material causes calcite and aragonite to dissolve and then precipitate as microcrystalline calcite cement upon drying. These processes that cement modern shell material are essentially the same processes that helped to preserve shells and organic remains as fossils in the geologic past. Several additional important geologic processes related to fossils should also be noted. First, vertebrate bones and teeth consist of porous apatite (a calcium phospate mineral). When exposed to seawater minerals precipitate within pores and ion substitution replaces some of the spaces within the aragonite mineral lattice. The net result is that bone material tends to become darker in color, harder, and more brittle with time (if it isn't eaten or dissolved in organic acids in the sediment first!).

     http://discovernd.com/ndfossils/
     
     Extractions: Fossil Resource Management Program 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 Dakota’s fossil resources through a variety of educational activities including fossil exhibits, tours, and presentations; 2) To identify and preserve North Dakota’s 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 Survey’s ability to manage the State’s paleontological resources. The first of these laws, North Dakota’s 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. (

     http://www.science.uwaterloo.ca/earth/geoscience/nowlan.html
     
     Extractions: There's nothing more fascinating than looking down a microscope and seeing familiar (and sometimes, not so familiar) objects magnified many times. The Geological Survey of Canada and many university departments frequently open their doors to the public. This allows you the opportunity to find out what that peculiar rock was that was propping granny's door open for the last 50 years, or perhaps to find out more about that strange tooth that Uncle Fred had on his mantleshelf for as long as you can remember. The incredible diversity of life on Earth through time has resulted in a fossil record that is extremely rich in information. Paleontologists try to unravel and understand the complexity of the fossil record as it records the history and development of life on Earth. Paleontology is the biological part of geology. The physical evolution of the Earth's surface and the evolution of the Earth's living organisms is intimately interlinked: for example, without the evolution of organisms such as algae and cyanobacteria the atmosphere would never have become sufficiently oxygenated to support all the many forms of life that have developed.
