Larson in the Illinois State Museum, shows an artist's conception of how much of the Midwestern United States might have looked approximately 16,000 years ago. This reconstruction is based on the work of many different types of scientists who study various aspects of past environments. You can join Illinois State Museum and Northern Arizona University scientists as they visit a cave and study the paleontological remains contained in it. In viewing this exhibit you have a choice. You can wander through the exhibit to find out more about the environments, plants, and animals of the Midwestern U.S. at that time.

22. Paleocene Mammals Of The World Site about the fossil mammals known from the Paleocene epoch. Containsan Paleocene mammals of the world. by Martin Jehle. Skull of http://www.paleocene-mammals.de/

Paleocene mammals of the world by Martin Jehle Skull of Deltatherium fundaminis , one of the first Paleocene mammals described from North America (see here for a restoration). Its relationships are still debated. From Williamson (1996). The first 10 million years of the age of mammals Despite this impressive diversification, most Paleocene mammals are still on a primitive level of anatomy in comparison to mammals of today. Often they show only the first beginning of specializations that characterize their descendants from later epochs, such as optimization of the teeth for a special kind of food or adaptations of the limbs to fast running. The Paleocene mammalian fauna is therefore often called archaic. The beginning of the following epoch, the Eocene, brought about an important modernization of this fauna. Several groups of mammals with more modern appearance spread over the northern hemisphere at this time, whereas the decline of the archaic forms started. The Paleocene is a crucial time in the history mammals. Unfortunately, mammal fossils from this epoch are either scarce or entirely unknown in many parts of the world. Thus we can only speculate how the fauna of whole continents looked after the extinction of dinosaurs. Even where fossils occur, most species are only known from their characteristic teeth, and skeletons are only known for a few forms. Nevertheless, knowledge of Paleocene mammals is steadily increasing. This website tries to summarize what we know about these first ten million years of the age of mammals.

27. Welcome To The Mammals Introducing the incredible world of mammals, the biggest, smallest, fastest, etc.Welcome to the Incredible World of mammals. Introduction. Some Amazing mammals. http://www.earthlife.net/mammals/welcome.html

Welcome to the Incredible World of Mammals Introduction Look around you sometime, the chances are that if you see an animal it is a mammal. Mammals are the dominant life form on this planet at the moment, at least from a human perspective. There are about 4260 species of mammals known on this planet at the moment, though taxonomists are still arguing. Mammals are not the most speciose animal on the planet, 3 other groups of vertebrates outnumber them at the moment, Reptiles 6787 species, Birds 9703 species and Fishes with approximately 25000 species. Invertebrates, of course, have groups with huge numbers of species that outnumber all the vertebrates put together; Molluscs 80 000 and Insects 1 000 000; while Arachnids with a mere 44 000 species still outnumber any 3 groups of vertebrates put together. Mammals however are big. You can see them easily, and perhaps most importantly you are one. Mammals are there, everywhere you look; large warm-blooded, four-limbed vertebrates whose females produce milk (see What is a Mammal ). Elephants and Whales, Pigs, Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Dogs, Cats, Hamsters, Rats and of course Human beings (that's you and me) are all mammals.

Two of these, the malleus and incus, are derived from bones involved in jaw articulation in most other vertebrates. Mammals have hair . Adults of some species lose most of their hair, but hair is present at least during some phase of the ontogeny of all species. Mammalian hair, made of a protein called keratin , serves at least four functions. First, it slows the exchange of heat with the environment (insulation). Second, specialized hairs (whiskers or " vibrissae ") have a sensory function, letting the owner know when it is in contact with an object in its external environment. These hairs are often richly innervated and well-supplied with muscles that control their position. Third, through their color and pattern, hairs affect the appearance of a mammal. They may serve to camouflage, to announce the presence of especially good defense systems (for example, the conspicuous color pattern of a skunk is a warning to predators), or to communicate social information (for example, threats, such as the erect hair on the back of a wolf; sex, such as the different colors of male and female capuchin monkeys; presence of danger, such as the white underside of the tail of a whitetailed deer). Fourth, hair provides some protection, either simply by providing an additional protective layer (against abrasion or sunburn, for example) or by taking on the form of dangerous spines that deter predators (porcupines, spiny rats, others).

Search Advanced Search Home Glossary Index ... Parliament Live section... Parliamentary Publications and Archives Site Map Bills Hansard Directories Frequently Asked Questions Judicial Work Previous Section Back to Table of Contents Lords Hansard Home Page Lord McIntosh of Haringey: Yes, my Lords. It has been clear from the beginning that we have always given priority to older claimants and to the widows and beneficiaries of those claimants who have died. It is tragic that so many of the claims have been resolved by death rather than by payment in full. Widows have a high priority and interim payments are made to them even if the final claim has not been fully processed. Baroness Miller of Hendon: My Lords, given the speed with which the Chancellor of the Exchequer is busily preparing a basket of goodiesor should I say bribes?for the electorate in anticipation of the coming election, can the Minister say whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer is able to use all the power at his disposal, together with the generosity he is showing in other areas, to speed up this process? As the Minister said, the Government have decided to implement the compensation system in full, and, as the noble Lord, Lord Mason, said, many people are dying. Can the Chancellor not now get round the problem and deal with it once and for all, as it seems possible for him to do in many other areas? Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, I wish it were only a question of money. As has been clear throughout these exchanges, the problem lies in the slowness of making claims, the lack of response to some of the offers that have been made, and, above allthis is the most difficult problem at the momentthe shortage of suitably qualified doctors. If it were simply a matter of money, the issue could have been dealt with a long time ago.
