Roots Of The Mammalian Family Tree
Discovery of the skeleton of Jeholodens by Dr. Ji Qiang of the National Museum of China and Dr. Luo's comparative studies have offered new insight into the lives of these early Cretaceous mammals from the Liaoning Formation of China.
http://www.carnegiemuseums.org/cmnh/research/jeholodens/index.html

Extractions: An exceptionally well-preserved 125-million-year-old fossil mammal, described recently by the Carnegie Museum of Natural History's Zhe-Xi Luo and his collaborators, Professor Ji Qiang of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, offers new insight on the origin and evolution of mammals. Among the most rare and challenging discoveries for any paleontologist are the early mammals that arose in the shadows of the great beasts of the Mesozoic. Few fossil mammals have survived the ravages of geologic history, and those that have are supremely difficult to find and collect. Most of what we know of the earliest mammals comes from a few fragmentary teeth and jaws, which, because of their durable mineral composition, tend to remain intact when other bones have crumbled. Despite these challenges, Dr.Zhe-Xi Luo, Associate Curator of Paleontology at Carnegie Museum of Natural History, is forging ahead with some of the most important research in the field. In the past two years, Dr. Luo has been involved in two of the most significant discoveries in mammalian evolution, and his recent research on Jeholodens jenkinsi , published in the March 25, 1999, issue of Nature is helping to piece together a dark era in evolutionary history, shedding new light on the origin and interrelationships of early mammals.

Wolffe; Solicitor to the Scottish Executive 31 July 2002 Introduction [2] The Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act 2002 ("the Protection of Wild Mammals Act") was passed by the Scottish Parliament on 13 February 2002 and received the Royal Assent on 15 March 2002. One of the principal effects of the Act is to make it a criminal offence to engage in the activity of mounted foxhunting with dogs, or to permit land or dogs to be used for this activity. By section 12(2) of the Act the preceding sections are to come into force on such day as the Scottish Ministers may by order made by statutory instrument appoint. By the Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act 2002 (Commencement) Order 2002 ("the Commencement Order"), made by the Scottish Ministers in the exercise of these powers, the day appointed for the coming into force of the Act is 1 August 2002. et separatim certain provisions of it are, incompatible with Articles 8 and/or 14 of, and/or Article 1 of the First Protocol to, the European Convention on Human Rights ("the Convention"). They aver that on those grounds the Act is outside the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament. They further aver

It is possible to engage in international travel without flying everywhere. Lord Davies of Oldham: My Lords, I had anticipated that my noble friend might come back on that. If he is able to establish that every one of Sir Tom Blundell's trips has been made via the Channel Tunnel or that he has gone by sea, I shall stand entirely corrected. I am not a wagering Minister, but I would say that "international travel" probably suggests an occasional use of aircraft at the very least. I emphasise that we recognise that a balance has to be struck between the necessary attempts to meet projected demand with regard to air travel and the necessity to safeguard the environment. The Government have set stringent environmental conditions which we expect operators to meet. I emphasise that point to the noble Lord, Lord Beaumont, and to others who spoke in the debate, who may have cast themselves in a somewhat pessimistic mode with regard to what can be achieved. The noble Baroness, Lady Dean, referred to the improvements in aircraft technology which in recent 16 Jan 2004 : Column 816 years have led to a reduction in the polluting effects of aircraft engines. We expect that the new regime of aircraft engines will lead to a 50 per cent reduction in the polluting effects, although that does not by any means solve the overall problem.
Ice Age Mammals - EnchantedLearning.com
During the last Ice Age, there were many large, interesting mammals, like the sabertoothedcats, giant ground sloths, woolly rhino, mastodons, and mammoths.
http://www.zoomdinosaurs.com/subjects/mammals/Iceagemammals.shtml

Extractions: During the last Ice Age, there were many large, interesting mammals, like the saber-toothed cats, giant ground sloths, mastodons, and mammoths. These animals have long since gone extinct and are known mostly from fossils, from frozen, mummified carcasses, and even from ancient cave drawings. The Last Ice Age The last Ice Age started about 70,000 years ago and ended about 10,000 years ago (during the Pleistocene epoch). The Earth was much colder than it is now; snow accumulated on much of the land, glaciers and ice sheets extended over large areas and the sea levels were lower. These phenomena changed the surface of the earth, forming lakes, changing the paths of rivers, eroding land, and depositing sand, gravel, and rocks along the glaciers' paths. What Is a Mammal?

Origin Of Mammals

Extractions: Institute for Creation Research. All Rights Reserved. If this view of evolution is true, the fossil record should produce an enormous number of transitional forms. Natural history museums should be overflowing with undoubted intermediate forms. About 250,000 fossil species have been collected and classified. These fossils have been collected at random from rocks that are supposed to represent all of the geological periods of earth history. Applying evolution theory and the laws of probability, most of these 250,000 species should represent transitional forms. Thus, if evolution theory is true, there should be no doubt, question, or debate as to the fact of evolution. Such is not the case at all, however. The fossil record was actually an embarrassment to Darwin, and some paleontologists are willing to admit that it looks even worse from an evolutionary point of view today than it did in Darwin's time.

Erickson - Origin Of Dinosaurs And Mammals
On the Origin of Dinosaurs and mammals. by. William Carnell Erickson. PDF Version. DinosaurPhysiology and the Origin of mammals. The Origin of Vertebrate Flight.
http://microlnx.com/dinosaurs/OriginOfDinosaursAndMammals.html

Extractions: Dinosaurs and Mammals by William Carnell Erickson PDF Version Abstract The coincidence in time of incipient rifting of Pangea and the origin of dinosaurs during the Carnian age (230-225 Ma) of the Late Triassic suggests a fundamental link between the two. That link may have been the onset of Earth expansion, triggered by the Pangean thermal anomaly and resulting in a 20% reduction in surface gravity. In reduced gravity, animals will have less skeletal mass and thinner bones than equally massive animals adapted to normal gravity; a significant increase in maximum body size will also ensue. These predictions, inferred from allometric scaling principles and supported by biomedical space research and gravity tolerance experiments, are borne out in the fossil record: the Late Triassic witnessed the transition from Paleozoic faunas dominated by relatively small and robust synapsid reptiles (therapsids) to Mesozoic faunas dominated by large and gracile diapsid reptiles (archosaurs), including many families of gigantic dinosaurs. Dynamical principles of locomotion indicate that a gravity reduction will lower the speed at which animals change gait.

Extractions: Research Interests: I'm interested in all aspects of vertebrate morphology, including phylogeny, paleontology, function, and development. My main research interest is the phylogeny of mammals, specifically how the major groups (orders) of mammals are related to one another. Currently, I'm working on one particular order, the Perissodactyla, the order that includes the living horses, rhinoceroses, and tapirs, as well as a variety of fossils.
