The hard parts of the animals (such as their bones, teeth, and shells) are eventually replaced with minerals from the mud, which turn them into rock. The soft parts of the specimen, such as the scales of a fish or the leaves of a plant, sometimes leave a colored imprint in rock before they eventually decay. Trees or other organic matter that are covered with silica-rich water become petrifiedthey turn into solid mineral. All of these methods result in what we know as fossils. Fossils are most commonly found in limestone, shale, and sandstone, all relatively soft rock that erodes more easily than most rocks do. As the rock gradually wears away, the fossil layers within it are exposed.

The Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Paleontology Society is composed of dedicated people from all walks of life who share a common interest: fossils. The society is made up of volunteers, except for George Jefferson, the park's resident paleontologist. Some of them are young, most are retired. All work under Jefferson's supervision. The society started about 15 years ago when the original paleontologist, George Miller, made it known that he was wiling to gather and train volunteers. Julie Parks, a volunteer who lives in La Jolla but drives to Borrego every week, helped start the society. She described what the volunteers do: "We basically fulfill all of the needs of the paleontology program. We go out in the field and collect fossils, which no one else is allowed to do. The fossils are brought in, identified, prepared for curation and filed in appropriate boxes." The fossils fall into a period ranging from 500,000 years ago to 4.5 million years ago. This was the age of very large mammoths and huge camels so big a human would be able to walk under one. Also horses, sloths, antelopes, deer, smilodons and birds.

Creatures Main Page Dinosaurs Trilobites Search The Web! Prehistoric Mammals During the Mesozoic Era, the age of the dinosaurs, mammals were nothing more than little rats who got stepped on by the larger reptiles. However, at the end of the Cretaceous, for some reason, all the great dinosaurs suddenly became extinct. The mammals, however, survived. This was the beginning of a new era for the planet Earth. The Cenozoic Era, or The Age Of Mammals. In the years that would follow, the Earth would become home to some of the largest and most terrifying mammals that ever existed. Birds that ate horses, and ferocious sabre-toothed cats are just some of the awesome animals that are mentioned in this section. Dinosaurs and mammals evolved within 10 million years of each other, but the mammals had never really had a chance to shine until now. The Earth's climate and geography was changing in their favour. The following are some of the most colossal mammals that have ever existed. Sabre-Toothed Cats Even though most people refer to this famous group of mammals as "sabre-toothed tigers", they are really called sabre-toothed cats, as the only reason why they were related to tigers was that they were also related to cats. The largest of these was the Smilodon . It was 4-5 feet long, 3 feet high, and weighed about 440 pounds. It was smaller that a modern lion, but heavier. It was not a very fast runner due to it's short legs, but it was adapted to springing onto it's prey. What this cat is famous for are it's two huge canine teeth, up to 17 inches long. As you could probably guess, it's jaws were very powerful and it had huge neck muscles for stabbing prey with it's teeth. What's more, it could open it's jaw to a 120° angle.

HOME Page PALEONTOLOGICAL TESTIMONY The Pleistocene Extinction Paleontologists the world over know that something catastrophic happened to the large mammals roaming the world during the Pleistocene Epoch. Woolly mammoths, mastodons, toxodons, sabre-toothed tigers, woolly rhinos, giant ground sloths, and many other large Pleistocene animals are simply no longer with us. In fact, well over 200 species of animals (involving millions of individual animals) totally disappeared at the end of the Pleistocene some 10,000-12,000 years ago in what is known to Paleontologists as the Pleistocene Extinction (Click for table) THE AMERICAN REMAINS Back in middle 1940s Dr. Frank C. Hibben, Prof. of Archeology at the University of New Mexico mounted an expedition to Alaska to look for human remains. The remains he found were not human, but what he found was anything but evidence of gradualism or uniformitarianism. Instead he found miles of muck filled with the remains of mammoth, mastodon, several kinds of bison, horses, wolves, bears and lions. Just north of Fairbanks, Hibbens and his associates watched as bulldozers pushed the half-melted muck into sluice boxes for the extraction of gold. Animal tusks and bones rolled up in front of the blades "like shavings before a giant plane". The carcasses were found in all attitudes of death, most of them "pulled apart by some unexplainable prehistoric catastrophic disturbance" (Hibben, 1946). The evidence of the violence of nature combined with the stench of rotting carcasses was staggering. The ice fields containing these remains stretched for hundred of miles in every direction (Hibben, 1946). Trees and animals, layers of peat and mosses, twisted and mangled together like some giant mixer had jumbled them some 10,000 years ago, and then froze them into a solid mass. The evidence immediately suggests an enormous tidal wave which raged over the land, tumbling animals and vegetation within its mass, which was then quick-frozen (Sanderson, 1960). But the extinction is not limited to the Arctic.

DINO LAND PALEONTOLOGY INTERVIEWS LARRY AGENBROAD The Jarkov Mammoth, the famed specimen Larry Agenbroad studied. Last October news agencies around the world were abuzz with the discovery of a nearly complete frozen mammoth carcass, found in the Siberian permafrost by a team of French, Dutch, and American scientists. The actual mammoth carcass was first discovered in 1997, when French explorer Bernard Buigues learned of the discovery of mammoth tusks by a group of local natives. Buigues explored the site they mentioned, and was astonished to find signs of a near complete mammoth carcass. Unfortunately, due to strange, odd, and drastic weather conditions, the excavation of this carcass had to be delayed for two years, until 1999, when Buigues and his team finally announced their discovery to the world. The discovery, nicknamed the Jarkov Mammoth, became an overnight hit, making the front page of several newspapers around the world and garnering spots in Time Magazine and on several American television programs. Much of the excitement was due to the thrilling possibility that the mammoth could be cloned, a somewhat outlandish, but media popular idea. The entire idea of cloning ancient animals extended back well before the first successful cloning of a living animal was performed. But, the notion gained much publicity after the 1993 release of Jurassic Park, the box office hit which starred cloned dinosaurs. Suddenly, this idea seemed more plausible to the public-but could science do it?

DINO LAND PALEONTOLOGY FEATURES ACCOUNTS OF GREEK AND ROMAN PALEONTOLOGY By Adrienne Mayor Anancus, a prehistoric elephant whose fossils were encountered by the ancient Greeks and Romans. In May of 2000 Adrienne Mayor's master thesis on paleontology in Greek and Roman times was published by Princeton University Press. Since its publication date, her book, The First Fossil Hunters , has been acclaimed by paleontology buffs around the globe. This impressive book, reviewed right here on the Dino Land Website, traces Greek and Roman involvements in paleontology. In her introduction Mayor lays out the groundwork for her book, by stating two major points: that many Greek and Roman myths were based in fact, and that the basis for many of these facts were fossils. Throughout her 360 page book Mayor continually proves these points, showing that the Greeks and Romans frequently encountered fossilized remains, measured, reconstructed, and even displayed them, and created elaborate stories to explain their being. Below are several excerpts from The First Fossil Hunters, reprinted by permission of Adrienne Mayor. For a full review of her book, follow this

Many dinosuars existed during this age, but it ended with a major mass extinction (the K-T extinction MACHAIRODUS Machairodus ( meaning "knife tooth") was a common saber-toothed cat that lived from about 15 million years ago until about 2 million years ago. Species of this scimitar cat have been found in Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America. This lion-sized meat-eating mammal had slender limbs and a short tail; the upper jaw canine teeth were large. Machairodus was named by Kaup in 1833. Classification: Family Felidae, Subfamily Machairodontinae, Genus Machairodus, many species. MACHAEROPROSOPUS (pronounced ma-KEER-oh-pro-SOH-pus) Machaeroprosopus ( meaning "knife face") was a phytosaur (not a dinosaur). This marine reptile had a thin, knife-like crest of its skull (hence its name). This crocodile-like animal had four short legs, a long tail, armored skin, sharp teeth in elongated jaws, and nostrils near the eyes. It lived during the late Triassic period. Fossils have been found in North America. Machaeroprosopus was named by Mehl in 1916; the type species is
