Vertebrates (or Craniata) include the well-known animals such as fish (Pisces), amphibians (Amphibia), reptiles (Reptilia), dinosaurs (Dinosauria, usually included in the Reptilia), birds (Aves, sometimes classed as feathered Reptiles or Dinosaurs), and mammals, including humans (Mammalia). Fossils of all these groups have been found in Kentucky except for the dinosaurs, which have the potential to be found in far western Kentucky, although none have been found to date. The common feature of vertebrate animals is that they have a spinal column and associated vertebrae. In some animals, like sharks, the vertebrae are composed of cartilage. In other animals, like mammals and reptiles, vertebrae are composed of bone. Bones can be fossilized; cartilage is generally not fossilized. Vertebrate fossils are rare in Kentucky. Most reported fossils that look like bones, claws, or teeth, are actually fossils of other types of animals or are pseudofossils. Pseudofossils are rocks that look like fossils, but are not fossils. If you think you have found a fossil bone, look at the Recognizing fossil bones section first. Look at the criteria for identifying fossil bones, and see if the fossil you have looks like the fossils shown to determine if it is actually a bone or not. If after comparing your fossil to the other fossils, it appears that your fossil may be a fossil bone, try to match it to the fossils shown below in Vertebrate fossils found in Kentucky. If you have found a fossil bone in Kentucky, please call the Kentucky Geological Survey (859) 257-5500, so that we can document and verify the find.

Goal: To create a new economic opportunity for Page and bring us a step closer towards becoming a creative community.
Background Information
The concept of the Page Paleontological Science Center has evolved around a number of independent factors:
  • Our unique geologic setting and the attendant huge natural resource of paleontological specimens (many of which have yet to be discovered, excavated and analyzed). The City of Page looking to expand its economic base which has traditionally relied upon water-based recreation and tourism associated with warm water and air temperatures. An increasingly sophisticated tourism market that seeks out educational travel and adventure experiences. Changing and emerging economic forces coined popularly the "New Economy" where communities such as Page are being challenged to evaluate their community's proper niche from a regional perspective, to explore new ideas and opportunities, to establish regional networks / forums and to create a more "creative community" critical to success in the New Economy. Media-hype surrounding new paleontological finds around the region and the world.

acquired trait:
A phenotypic characteristic, acquired during growth and development, that is not genetically based and therefore cannot be passed on to the next generation (for example, the large muscles of a weightlifter).
adaptation: Any heritable characteristic of an organism that improves its ability to survive and reproduce in its environment. Also used to describe the process of genetic change within a population, as influenced by natural selection
adaptive landscape: A graph of the average fitness of a population in relation to the frequencies of genotypes in it. Peaks on the landscape correspond to genotypic frequencies at which the average fitness is high, valleys to genotypic frequencies at which the average fitness is low. Also called a fitness surface.
adaptive logic: A behavior has adaptive logic if it tends to increase the number of offspring that an individual contributes to the next and following generations. If such a behavior is even partly genetically determined, it will tend to become widespread in the population. Then, even if circumstances change such that it no longer provides any survival or reproductive advantage, the behavior will still tend to be exhibited unless it becomes positively disadvantageous in the new environment.

Report of the AGRRA 2000 Workshop Miami, Florida
May 20-21, 2000
Since its inception in June 1998 the AGRRA program has carried out coral reef health assessments in over 22 reef areas of the Wider Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, more than any other organization to date. With support from the Bacardi Family Foundation, a two-day workshop was organized bringing together some 25 leaders of AGRRA teams to present results of their assessments, plan a volume of reports, and discuss modifications in the methodology. Below is a list of highlights from the workshop. Highlights of the Workshop: Presentations: Team leaders presented the results of their surveys with emphasis on their preliminary findings and comments on problems of assessments and recommendations. Each presentation was limited to 15 minutes. Reports came from: Bermuda, Bahamas (Abaco, Andros, San Salvador), Turks and Caicos, Texas (Flower Garden Bank), Mexico (Vercruz, Yucatan peninsula), Belize (Barrier reef, Lighthouse Atoll), Costa Rica, Cuba (SW coast), Cayman Islands, Lesser Antilles (Saba, St. Martin, St. Eustatius) St. Vincent, Venezuela (Los Roques), Brazil. Working Group Discussions: On the second day of the workshop working groups examined AGRRA data results within three broad categories: coral invertebrates, reef fishes, interactions (algae-fish-corals). Each group first discussed the principal indicators that should be looked at to make comparisons and examine spatial patterns. All groups agreed that the first priority should be to conduct an anomaly analyses of 15 indicators including: coral cover, coral mortality, coral recruitment, macro algal index, urchin density, abundance and biomass of key fish families (parrotfish, surgeonfish, grouper, snapper, and grunts), fish diversity (AGRRA fish diversity and REEF methods). Questions raised by each of the groups that should be addressed based on the results of an analysis include:

ISRS Statement on Diseases on Coral Reefs
Diseases of corals and other organisms are having significant, negative impacts on the structure and appearance of coral reefs. On some reefs, the effects of disease have been of a similar magnitude to more familiar disturbances, such as outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish in the Indo-Pacific and worldwide coral bleaching associated with elevated sea temperatures. A new scientific awareness of diseases on coral reefs leads to a host of questions about the novelty of recently discovered syndromes, the importance of observed trends toward increasing infection rates, and the extent to which human activities are responsible. This statement, issued by the International Society for Reef Studies (ISRS), summarizes current knowledge on the subject. It was compiled by an ad hoc group of scientists in ISRS, composed of individuals who are directly or indirectly considering disease as part of their research programs. Disease is a natural process that has been poorly studied in the oceans because of its ephemeral nature. Epidemics in animal populations, called epizootics, are a serious threat to the health of coral reefs worldwide. Recent observations of epizootics affecting sea urchins and corals show that diseases on reefs can devastate their target populations and act as agents of rapid and dramatic community change. Marine pathologists and microbiologists are attempting to identify the causes of infection, but the pathogens responsible for most diseases affecting reef organisms remain elusive. These difficulties complicate efforts by scientists and managers to study outbreaks and to determine if control measures are warranted. It is becoming clear, however, that human activity is at least partially responsible for disease outbreaks on coral reefs over the past decade.

To show the depth of earth history and how and when various fossil life originated, evolved and/or went extinct.
Objectives:
Students will be able to
  • Visualize how much time and life has passed on Earth.
    Locate mass extinction events Observe how rarely an extinction event wipes out an entire order or family of life and how the rapid radiation of the surviving species quickly fills the gap. Discuss various measures of lifeform success. Observe species extinctions and time variations. For example, dinosaurs and cavemen did not live at the same time.

Archaeology – Study of past cultures through material remains. Articulated – Joints still connected. Artifact – An object made and used by humans.
Biped – Any two-footed animal. Bivalves – An animal (such as a clam) that has a two-valved shell where both valves are the same size and shape. Also called Pelecypods. Blastoids – A Mississippian fossil consisting of a ½- to 1-inch cup-like body that was attached at the base to a short stem. Each of these bodies were five-sided and had arms radiating from it. Usually only the fossilized bodies are seen today. Brachiopods – (Lampshells) These sea creatures have two shells (called valves). One valve is usually larger than the other. The top of one valve will curl over the top of the second. This gives them an “oil lamp” shape. Some shells are smooth while others have ridges and grooves that radiate out from the middle of the hinge. Brachiopods are common in rocks of Cambrian to Carboniferous age. Bryozoans – Aquatic, colonial animals with branching, mossy or fan-like growth. They resemble corals but have more complex nervous, muscular and digestive systems.

In the entrance corridor to this hall, are displays of minerals and gems, representative of Iran and the world, Specimens of minerals. Some of the finest gems on gems on display include Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Fluorite, Opal, Garnet, Turquoise and Agate. The main part of the hall offers remarkable dioramas, beginning with an illustration of the creation of the universe, the solar system and the different eras of life starting with the Precambrian. Beautiful painted images, models and plastic casts of prehistoric animals and plants have been used to recreate life as it was in each era. Fossil exhibitions related to the scenes in each diorama are organized in cylindrical cases opposite the dioramas. The museum has one of the organized in cylindrical cases opposite the dioramas. The museum has one of the Quaternary Period (1.6- 0.01 million years ago) and fossilized plants such Sigilliaria from the Permian Period (290-245 million years ago). Other specimens on display include echinoderms, arthropods, brachiopods, corals, cephalopods, fish, foraminifers, sponges, bivalves and gastropods from the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras. Some exhibits such as Stromatolites date back to more 1 billion years ago. Remarkably, almost all of the specimens on display are real fossils, not casts.

Ctenophora CNIDARIA The Cnidaria are divided into three major groups. Hydrozoa - The Hydrozoa consists of the hydra-like animals. Both medusa and hydra stages exist in this species, although the hydra (polyp) stage is by far the more conspicuous. Scyphozoa - The Scyphozoa are the jellyfish. The polyp stage is very small and inconspicuous and the medusa (jellyfish) stage dominates. Anthozoa - The Anthozoa consists of the corals, sea anenomes, sea fans, and a variety of other marine organisms. The medusa stage of the life cycle has been completely lost in these animals. CTENOPHORA The Ctenophora (comb jellies or sea walnuts) look very much like jelly fish and share many of their morphological features such as radially symmetry, a sack-like body with a wall consisting of three layers. Unlike the Cnidaria, however, they lack independent mesodermal muscles, nematocysts (stinging cells), and the polyp-medusa life cycle. The group is characterized by eight ciliary plates (combs). The cilia in these combs wave in unison and enable the animal to swim about, although somewhat weakly.
