    Extractions: Design Science Association Video Catalog - Paleontology Dinosaurs and the Bible- Steve Hayley Using confidence in the truth of the Bible, it is shown that dinosaurs were created by God for a purpose, namely to glorify God, and they are found in the Bible as well as the fossil record. (taped 12/20/97; 1 hour, 21 minutes; $6) Dinosaurs and the Flood- Michael Oard Michael Oard shows fossil evidence that dinosaurs were running around, very likely in a panic, as the waters of Noah’s flood were rising. (taped 6/27/98; 2 hours, 3 minutes; $6) Dinosaurs-Chief of the Ways of God Howard Mudder (taped 5/2002 2 hours, 30 minutes; $6) Fossils Demonstrate Created Stability Dr. Harold Coffin According to the theory of evolution, any specific group of organisms will reveal in the fos- sil record step-by-step changes from complex to simple with increasing geologic age (i.e. progressively lower stratigraphic position). Dr. Harold Coffin, fossil expert and author of the popular creation book Origin by Design, discussed a number of examples of fossils which greatly extend the range of morphologic stasis downward. That is, these fossils show very little change and no decrease in complexity as one descends in the geologic column. Examples will be shown from various locations including Germany, Brazil, Canada, and the United States. The purpose of the talk is to show that organisms that have become extinct may be different from modern living types, but organisms that have continued through to the present have been stable as far back as can be traced. This agrees with the predictions of the Creation Model. Dr Coffin has a Ph.D in invertebrate zoology, has taught on the college level and was a senior research scientist with the Geoscience Research Institute at Loma Linda University. His investigation of the floating log mat on Spirit Lake at Mount St. Helens led to an improved interpretation of Yellowstone National Park's petrified forests.

Keep in mind that this list is not all-inclusive! Paleo-Course Work at Museums Paleontology Certification Program Certification program offered to adults "wanting to learn more about paleontology and to develop skills in the collection and preservation of fossils. The core certification program consists of a series of required courses that provide students with an introduction to the history of life as revealed through the fossil record as well as comprehensive knowledge of the theories and techniques of paleontology. Beyond core certification, there are two specialized tracks – one Lab Specialization Certificate and a Field Specialization Certificate. Some optional courses are offered for college credit."

    Extractions: The most complete Pygmy Mammoth skeleton ever found inspired the centerpiece of the Geology and Paleontology Hall a re-creation of the skeleton as it appeared in situ . Adjacent to this is an exhibit with an articulated Pygmy Mammoth skeleton and a painting of a full-sized Columbian Mammoth and American Mastodon. Columbian Mammoths swam to Santarosae, a large island off our coast during Pleistocene times. As sea levels rose and Santarosae became several smaller islands, the mammoths evolved into a pygmy form better suited to survival in the limited habitat. A fantastic new discovery has been brought to the forefront of science with the recent discovery of the most complete skeleton to date of a Channel Islands Pygmy Mammoth ( Mammuthus exilis ). The skeleton was excavated on Santa Rosa Island in August of 1994 by a team of National Park Service researchers led by Dr. Larry Agenbroad, a Museum Research Associate.

Safety precautions in collecting are featured and information on source books dealing with fossil collecting are listed. Buried in Ash - 60 minutes; NOVA. This tape reviews the work of Mike Voorhies, paleontologist at three sites in north-central Nebraska and, in particular, at the ashfall site where many rhinoceroses were covered by an ashfall from a prehistoric eruption 1,000 miles away in southwestern Idaho; this eruption had an intensity at least 100 times greater than that of Mt. St. Helens. Seventy skeletons of five species of horses were also uncovered. The evolution of the horse is also discussed.

    Extractions: The genus mammoths, in latin Mammuthus , was a group of species, belonging to the family of elephants , entirely separated in taxonomy from the Mastodons and the genus family Mammutidae, although they sometimes shared the same envoronment. (For scientific reasons, the mastodons was renamed to family Mammutidae, which became a source for future confusion and misunderstandings). The Mammoths probably has origin from Stegodon and started to develop during upper Pliocene, (some 4 million years ago) in africa, spred to europe and asia, and Mammuthus meridionalis went over Bering Strait to north america about 1.8 million years ago, (the wooly Mammoth went over much later) and became extinct during lower Holocene, probaby exterminated by prehistoric humans who hunted elephants and Mammoths and made huts and houses out of their bones They had bumps on their head Both sexes had tusks Some tusks were straight, some were curved The longest tusks were up to 13 feet (4 m) long. Mammoths had longer tusks than Mastodons, a wider head, a sloping back and flat chewing teeth

Tusk is over 1.1 m across curvature. University of Alberta Collections. Photo by BDEC (c). The scientific and systematic search for fossils in Canada started in 1797 when the celebrated geographer and cartographer David Thompson quit the Hudson’s Bay Company to go to work for the North West Company. Among the explicit instructions he received from his new bosses was a most unusual one that had nothing to do with surveying or map making or with the fur trade. They requested that, "in the interests of science and history he was to look for the fossils of large animals, and any monuments". No written record exists that explains the rationale for this remarkable directive, but it might have been "in the interests of commerce", alluding to mammoth ivory which was already the object of a lucrative trade in Siberia.

    Extractions: Paleontology is the study of preexisting life based on fossils. A fossil could be an actual portion of the animal, such as bones, teeth, or shells, or maybe replaced by minerals such as silica, iron and manganese or as in petrified wood. A fossil may also be a track or trail, an imprint or a cast, anything that indicates preexisting life forms. Through paleontology scientists hope to create a more complete understanding of how life has changed since it first appeared in the geologic record of time. The Mammoth Site provides the following to the worldwide scientific community: a comparative collection of mammoth remains, Ice Age vertebrates and invertebrates, geology, and 26,000 year old environmental data. This information is the basis for investigations, exhibits, and educational programs at the Mammoth Site. Dr. Larry Agenbroad was appointed Mammoth Site Principal Investigator in 1974. The Mammoth Site's methods of research, interpretation, and exhibits are studied for implementation around the world. The Mammoth Site has sponsored a "Visiting Scientist" program in which a researcher is invited to study at the site during the month of July. Visiting professionals have included:

    Extractions: John Aguilar: Design for a mural at the John E. Conner Museum INTRODUCTION The Quaternary Period is subdivided into the Pleistocene and Holocene. The Pleistocene or " Ice Age " includes the events from 1.8 million to about 10,000 years ago. The Holocene (or Recent) includes the past 10,000 years. Vertebrate paleontologists designate the late Pleistocene (the past 250,000 years) in North America as the Rancholabrean Land Mammal Age. The type fauna for this age is at Rancho La Brea in California. Learn more about this locality and it fossils from the Museum of Paleontology at UC Berkeley or go directly to the tar pits at the George C. Page Museum and learn more about its fossils and more ; or try Ice Age Mammals from the Smithsonian The last 100,000 years or so of the Pleistocene are the Wisconsinan glacial age, the last and most extensive episode of Pleistocene glaciation. Wisconsinan glaciers reached their maximum extent 18,000 years ago, a time when continental glaciers extended to central Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Although glacial ice was several 1000 kilometers north, the advances and retreats of glaciers during the Pleistocene had dramatic effects on the biota, climate, and geomorphology of South Texas. PLEISTOCENE FOSSILS FROM SOUTH TEXAS South Texas has an excellent record of late Pleistocene fossils. Fossils occur mainly in the river channel and floodplain deposits of the Beaumont Formation and in the terrace deposits cut into the Beaumont Formation. Rancholabrean fossils from South Texas were first described by
