Interesting Names
Woolly and Huge Strange and/or Massive Resources E xtinct Animals. Normally one would hear those words used to describe the dinosaurs - or perhaps the Dodo Bird. But what people don't often think of are the thousands of interesting creatures that lived and died on this planet of ours in the "in-between" years. The last dinosaurs vanished 65 million years ago, the last Dodo died over 300 years ago. The millions of years between the two (The Cenozoic Era) have been populated (off and on) by some of the largest mammals the world has ever seen. Some familiar, some bizarre - often gigantic, these Megafauna (Latin for "large animals") can be every bit as intriguing as the dinosaurs.

The mosaics were designed by Hildreth Meiere. The animals inhabit the guilloche (band) that links four circles representing the four elements - earth, air, fire and water - with the central figure of Mother Nature. The overall design was inspired by a pattern in the floor of the Cathedral of Siena. Meiere's design occupies the floor of the rotunda, the centrepiece of the Capitol which was built between 1922 and 1932. The animals, all from Nebraska's own geological history, are grouped with the four elements as follows:

This story tells about the gentle giant of the Stone Age, the woolly mammoth. Aliki tells about the life of the giant mammal and its enemies. She also shows how we know about this extinct animal. The Activities
ART/COMPREHENSION

Draw a picture of the hunting scene. Have the students divide a sheet of drawing paper into three equal sections. (I have them fold the paper after they have measured the sections.) The first sections will have an illustration of what the people did to find the mammoth, the second section should be an illustration of the actual hunt, and the third section is used for a scene after the hunt. This is an easy way to assess comprehension informally. WRITING ACROSS THE CONTENT
This is a research paper idea being used by different teachers in my district. It helps to create a group rubric so that the members can ‘check off’ what they have accomplished. USING TECHNOLOGY Aliki Challenge!

Mammoths in Siberia
Woolly Mammoth. Artist: Caroll.L. Fenton. The discovery of frozen mammoth carcasses in the permafrost of Siberia has attracted an enormous amount of public interest in recent decades. Although remains have been excavated for over a century, the discovery of a complete baby mammoth in 1977 and its subsequent world tour led to a marked increase in research into these animals. Mammoths were a little smaller than modern elephants, with small ears and a thick coat of long black hair. They flourished in Siberia at the height of the last ice age when that region had low precipitation and consequently, was covered with steppe-like grasslands (rather than ice). With the end of the ice age, the climate changed. Increased precipitation (snow) turned the steppe into boggy tundra, and this, perhaps with some assistance from human hunters, resulted in the extinction of the mammoth about 11000 years ago.

How Did the Early People Come to the Americas?
Ancestors are people in your family who lived before you, like great-great-grandparents. You are a descendant of your ancestors. The long ago ancestors of our Native Americans, including the Eskimos, may have come from Asia by crossing the Bering Sea at a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska. Thousands of years ago this was dry land. They may have followed animals like mastodons or woolly mammoths which they hunted for food. We call these early people PaleoIndians. Paleo- means "long ago".
When did this happen? We don't know. Scientists think it could have been anywhere from 20,000 to 40,000 years ago. Over thousands of years, the descendants of the PaleoIndians spread across the continents into North, Central and South America. The world at that time was in the ice ages . The last great ice age lasted more than 2,500,000 years and ended about 10,000 years ago. There were many plants, insects, birds and animals which do not exist today. At times, glaciers covered almost 30% of the earth. The land which is now the state of Virginia was not covered by the ice sheet. States such as Pennsylvania and New Jersey were.

Over all,this one is as good as the first book and a very good complement. I thought there was something missing in the first. And that was the other prehistoric animals. Together,these books are my most famous inspiration source for my story "The Island Forgotten by Time"with all of the famous action motifs of the pictures as well as just beauty. If you own the first,try this. If you dont own them,buy them both!These books are actually children`s books but for a dinosaur fan,it doesn`t matter. For children,buy it for the text. For paleontologists,some of the illustrations are invaluable!So I bought it for the images,not for the text,as I am a seriously interested dinosaur maniac too!

The Dawn of Prehistoric Rock Art
©1998 by James Q. Jacobs
The most ancient evidence of the production of art predates the generally accepted earliest dates for the appearance of modern humans. Cup marks and a meandering line were etched into a sandstone cave in India two or three hundred thousand years ago. Line markings on bone, teeth, ivory and bone of equal antiquity are known from the campsites of archaic humans. Sculpture, in the form of modified natural forms, has been dated to 250-300,000 years ago in the Near East. (Bednarik, 1998.) An early archaeologically discernible behavior that seems to lack practical purpose is the use of hematite or ochre, the red mineral pigment. This activity dates to several hundred thousand years ago in southern Africa. Although no rock paintings of such great antiquity are known, ochre is later evidenced as a rock art pigment. Australian rock art may be as old as human occupation of that continent, up to 60,000 years old and perhaps far older. Hundreds of Australian sites may predate the cave art of Europe (Bednarik). In Tanzania rock art sites date back about 50,000 years (Karoma). Painted and engraved images of animals on stone slabs have been excavated and dated to 28,000 years ago in Namibia (Feder and Park). The oldest known example of rock art in Europe is an arrangement of eighteen cup marks on a rock slab over a child's burial in a French cave. Radiocarbon dates for European paintings range back to more than 32,000 years (Gould). By this time art traditions are known to have existed in southern Africa, the Levant, eastern Europe, India and Australia (Bednarik). A California rock art site has been dated to about 20,000 years ago, based on analysis of mineral varnish covering a pictograph (Bower 96a).

Research clears Clovis Man By MAX ALBRIGHT malbright@amarillonet.com
The Texas Panhandle area's prehistoric people - known collectively today as Clovis Man - did not hunt the ancient giant elephants, called mammoths, to extinction as once thought, according to a new study. "The evidence to support that claim is remarkably thin," Dallas archaeologist David Meltzer said last week during a telephone interview. In fact, the Clovis people's claim to be great mammoth hunters may be more bragging, than actually bagging the huge creatures, said Meltzer of Southern Methodist University. "They didn't do it very often, and each time they told that story the elephant got bigger and bigger," Meltzer said.

http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Galaxy/8152/larryagenbroad.html
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?

Imagine a time when enormous Columbian mammoths roamed the hills and flatlands where the city of Los Angeles is today. Far to the north, their relatives, the woolly mammoths, grazed at the edges of vast ice sheets. In caves in southern Europe, prehistoric people painted pictures of the huge, shaggy mammals. Growing to weights of ten tons and distinguished by enormous curling tusks, mammoths were the largest land animals of the Ice Age. Today, discoveries of mammoth fossilsfound in places ranging from tar pits and sinkholes to frozen tundra and the bottom of the seaare expanding our view into the lives of these fascinating giants. You can see photos of mammoth teeth and bones and learn more about these relatives of elephants in Caroline Arnold's book, Trapped in Tar (Clarion, 1985.) Learn more about the George C.
