Paleontology Paleontolog y is the science which deals with studying life of past geologic ages (fossils). Fossils: are remains or traces of organisms (animals and plants), which inhabited the globe since the beginning of life. Kinds of fossils: * Real fossils: are the remnant of an extinct plant or animal.
  • Range fossils: are those having long range and so can’t be used as time indicators. Index (guide) fossils: are fossils which are characterized by wide geographic distribution and short range. They are useful in designating the age of strata.
* Derived (drifted) fossil: are fossils that are washed out from the original beds and re-deposited in younger strata. Example: Cretaceous and Eocene fossils deposited in the Miocene basins of the Gulf of Suez. * Pseudo-fossils: are those covered by sediments in recent times and make the impression only of being fossils. Nature of fossil record: All fossils should occur in sedimentary rocks being abundant in limestone and limy shale but rare in sandstone. Fossils never occur in igneous rocks except when volcanic ash falls or nearly cooled lava have overcome plants and animals. In Metamorphic rocks they are also absent except when these rocks were originally fossiliferous and subjected to very low grades of metamorphism. In Nature fossils are found scattered in the rocks, in some cases they are accumulated in layers or patches. Those accumulated in layers or beds are called

    Images of our ancient ancestors If you've ever kept a scrapbook of old photographs, you'll understand the fascination of this collection. Instead of grandmothers, aged aunts or toddler cousins, this book reveals life from the dimmest past. With photographs and drawings, Briggs and his colleagues have restored to view rare animals that lived in ancient seas. These are our earliest forebears, and for that reason alone, this book is worth repeated scrutiny. The images, with their stories of discovery and restoration, are offered in a spirit of shared discovery. These are very special creatures and it behooves us all to understand their value. As you slowly turn over the pages of this book, reflect on the vast ages separating you from these creatures. The sea has always kept some bizarre secrets, but few can match the multi-spined Hallucegenia or mud-burrowing Ottoia. Haplophrentis might be mistaken for a Roman dagger lost in the sea until you read that its maximum length was but 30 millimetres long. A more formidable denizen of these waters is the Anomalocaris, with its hooked feelers and rasping mouth. Swimming in a sea with this half-meter long predator might not have been dangerous, but observing it might best be done from the beach.

    WORK AS A PALEONTOLOGIST
    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.
    A CAREER IN PALEONTOLOGY
    Godfrey Nowlan
    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.

    Major Patterns in Paleontology
    Interactions between biotic and abiotic world. Some represent short term events; other long term trends. Classic examples: mass extinctions, often with abiotic causes but causing major rearrangements of biotic communities. Long Fuse of Cambrian Explosion: abiotic changes in oceanic chemistry leading to (incrementally greater) ability of organisms to form calcareous hard parts. Cambrian Substrate Revolution: advances in organisms (infaunal burrowing; epifaunal grazers) elimate algal matgrounds; loss of matground in oxygenated waters means loss of basal substrate for some groups (helioplacoids, for example). Calcite vs. Aragonite seas
    • When midocean ridges have low activity, high levels of Mg relative to Ca: aragonite seas with reduced reef building activity and aragonite is main mineral in cements and ooids
    • When midocean ridges have high activity, low Mg/Ca ratios: calcite seas with increased reef building activity and calcite is main mineral in cements and ooids
    • Early Cambrian through mid-Mississippian, calcite seas

    John West Wells
    By William R. Brice
    JOHN WEST WELLS died at his home on Brook Lane in Ithaca, New York, on January 12, 1994. As a teacher, scholar, and internationally known researcher he made an indelible mark on the world of paleontology through his own contributions and through the work of his many students. Although he spent the formative years of his teaching career at Cornell University, he served on the faculty at the University of Texas (1929-31), at the State Normal School (SUNY) at Fredonia, New York (1937-38), and at Ohio State University (1938-48). During World War II he served with the Office of Strategic Services and assisted with war damage assessment studies. Wells was a leading authority on both modern and fossil corals, and it was through his work with these simple fossils that he provided tangible evidence of changes in the rotational period of the earth. Geophysicists had long predicted that tidal friction should cause a slowing of the earth's rotation, but it was John Wells who, using only the simplest of equipment, counted the daily growth rings on fossil corals clearly demonstrating the predicted changes in the rotational rate. This one small paper of only three pages spawned a remarkable increase in research studies dealing with the incremental skeletal growth in many groups of invertebrates. EARLY YEARS AND EDUCATION John Wells was born in Philadelphia on July 15, 1907, but spent most of his youth in Homer, New York, about 20 miles from Cornell University, surrounded by the classic Devonian rocks of the Finger Lakes region. After graduating from the local high school he attended the University of Pittsburgh with the intention of studying medicine, but soon switched to chemistry. As part of his course work he took a few geology courses which really captured his imagination. He especially liked the two geology professors, Ransom E. Sommers and Henry Leighton. This chance meeting of Wells with Sommers and Leighton has an interesting twist to it, for both Sommers and Leighton were graduates of Cornell University.

This I will briefly do. While in college, I became convinced of my need of Christ, and committed my life to him, joining the Seventh-day Adventist fellowship because of my desire to follow Truth wherever it led. It was seemed very clear to me at that time, and remains so to this day, that the Bible was intentionally teaching us lessons that we could not learn on our own. While I believed rational processes were essential to the establishment of a life philosophy, I recognized they would not be sufficient. Belief in a literal Divine Creation event in the recent past is a given part of my philosophy. I do not need scientific evidence to support that position, but expect that, rightly understood, all scientific data will ultimately make sense within that framework.

    International Society for Reef Studies Statement on Diseases on Coral Reefs
    From Terry Done
    Dear all,
    Below is a statement on diseases of corals and other important coral reef life compiled by the International Society for Reef Studies and released today. The Society believes the statement is warranted at this time, following its earlier statement on Coral Bleaching published in its newsletter "Reef Encounter' and on coral-list.
    The International Society for Reef Studies (ISRS), consisting of over 750 members in over 50 countries, was founded in 1981 for the purpose of promoting the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge and understanding of coral reefs, both living and fossil. The ISRS publishes the scientific journal CORAL REEFS and holds periodic meetings around the world. Further information as well as membership details can be found at:www.uncwil.edu/isrs.
    For all correspondence regarding this statement or other ISRS matters, please contact Dr Richard Aronson, Corresponding Secretary, at:- raronson@jaguar1.usouthal.edu.

    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 coral bleaching associated with elevated sea temperatures.

    THE ATLANTIC CORAL ECOSYSTEM STUDY (ACES): A MARGIN-WIDE ASSESSMENT OF CORALS AND THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITIES IN EUROPE'S DEEP WATERS and ACES party
    Institute of Paleontology, University Erlangen, Germany INTRODUCTION In the Northeast Atlantic, the geographic distribution of deeper water coral (DWC) ecosystems can be traced from the slopes and banks off the Iberian Peninsula as far north as the Scandinavian Shelf. To cover the variation in environmental factors and interactions at ocean boundaries which enable the development of DWC ecosystems, the ACES scientific community will focus on selected key flagship areas along this latitudinal gradient - Galicia Bank, Porcupine Slope, Rockall Trough, Skagerrak, Norwegian Shelf. Our aim is a margin-wide environmental baseline assessment of the status of Europe's deep-water coral margin to provide recommendations for essential monitoring and methodology requirements for future sustainable development. The evolution of new management concepts for the sustainable use of deeper-water marine ecosystems on a margin-wide scale is a grand challenge that can only be achieved on a joint European scale. To meet that challenge, ACES will focus on three main scientific objectives which will provide the scientific data necessary to carry out our final objective which is to provide impartial practical recommendations for enlightened management of this spectacular deep-water ecosystem.
