Book Synopsis Ancient Life in Alabama by : William Deutsch
Download or read book Ancient Life in Alabama written by William Deutsch and published by . This book was released on 2022-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part 1 of the book, The Fossils and Finders, presents an overview of the science of paleontology and major fossil groups, with attention to the pioneering paleontologists. Part 2, A Walk Through Deep Time, introduces representative Alabama fossils in a context of ancient ecosystems, with a brief look at selected fossils of neighboring states. Part 3, From Discovery to Impact, traces the variety of expertise it takes to collect, prepare, identify, curate, display, and educate about fossils. Part 4, Why It Matters delves into how the story of ancient life should enrich our lives and improve science education, biodiversity conservation, climate policies, and metaphysical reflections. All four parts are interspersed with personal stories of paleontologists in their many sub-disciplines, from the early nineteenth century to the present. Joy of the Hunt sections scattered throughout give personal accounts of serendipity and excitement regarding special fossil finds.
Book Synopsis Biogeochemical Analysis of Late Cretaceous Vertebrate Fossils of Western Alabama, USA by : Terry Lynn Harrell
Download or read book Biogeochemical Analysis of Late Cretaceous Vertebrate Fossils of Western Alabama, USA written by Terry Lynn Harrell and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, vertebrate paleontologists in Alabama focused primarily on classical methods of investigation, for example, by examining the gross anatomy of fossilized skeletal elements. More recently, new methods were developed that enable paleontologists to examine the molecular composition of fossilized bones and teeth, so that they may be used as proxies for determining past environmental and biological conditions. The analyses presented here examine vertebrate fossils from the Late Cretaceous aged marine formations of Alabama, which represent one of the warmest time periods in Earth's history. The first analysis examines the rare earth element (REE) content of biophosphates to determine fossil provenance and relative paleobathymetry of the marine strata in which the fossils were deposited. The second analysis examines the strontium isotope ratios present in fossil shark tooth enameloid to determine numerical ages of the containing geologic formations. The final analysis examines the oxygen isotope content of biophosphates for ambient temperature determination of seawater present during the Late Cretaceous and the body temperatures of a variety of vertebrate organisms including mosasaurs and birds. The data obtained by this study on the greenhouse climate present during the Late Cretaceous may possibly be used to better enhance computer modelling of future climate change, given the current state of global warming, and the biological response to this warming trend.

Book excerpt: When most people think of digging up dinosaurs, they think of excavations in the western states where vegetation is sparse and bones can be found by the thousands. Alabama or other states in the eastern U.S. are not usually thought of as places to look for dinosaur bones, but a significant number of specimens have been found in this state. In Alabama, carnivorous (meat-eating), omnivorous (plant- and meat-eating), and herbivorous (plant-eating) dinosaurs have been discovered. All these fossils come from outcrops of Late Cretaceous strata, i.e., strata between 97.5 to 65 million years old, in the northern reaches of the Alabama Coastal Plain.In the book, written by a discoverer of one of Alabama's best known dinosaur, readers will discover much about Alabama and the southeastern U.S. during Late Cretaceous. The book describes the dinosaur fauna as well as environments, climates, and the dinosaur extinction event. The story is told with local view, but also a global perspective by a scientist with many years experience in research on Late Cretaceous fauna and history. Among carnivorous dinosaurs in Alabama, seven specimens are known, and all probably belong to the genus Albertosaurus (a small tyrannosaurid). Omnivorous dinosaurs in the state are limited to two specimens, both of the diminutive genus Ornithomimus (a name meaning Abird mimic). Herbivorous dinosaurs in Alabama are represented by seven specimens of a hadrosaurian genus named Lophorhothon (or similar genera) and five specimens of the armored dinosaur known as a nodosaur (genus is unknown).The book is appropriate for students 15 years and older, college audiences, and adults. Really anyone who is keenly interested in dinosaurs can learn much from this book ... whether you live near or far from Alabama! In 1982, the author discovered the most complete eastern North American Albertosaurus specimen in Montgomery County, Alabama. The reconstructed (and thus complete) specimen, 5.8 meters (19 feet) in length, is currently on display at the Red Mountain Museum in Birmingham, Alabama. In 1988, a geologic description of the site in Montgomery County was published in the Journal of the Alabama Academy of Sciences, volume 59. Dinosaur bones in eastern North America are found in two main modes of occurrence depending upon the ancient environment in which they were buried. In a residual mode (elsewhere in this book these bones are referred to as Aconcentrates), the dinosaur bones are broken, abraded (rounded), and mixed with other bones due to processes acting in ancient environments interpreted to be at or near the shoreline. In a non-residual mode (elsewhere called Acumulates), the dinosaur bones are entirely from one individual and are not broken or abraded. These bones are found in sediments interpreted to represent continental shelves under several tens of meters water and many kilometers offshore. It is significant that Alabama dinosaurs, like all their eastern North American kin (i.e., eastern Late Cretaceous dinosaurs), are not found in sediments representing places where they actually lived. This fact, and other oddities about Alabama dinosaurs, will be discussed in more detail later on in this book.
Book Synopsis Paleofaunistics of Nonmammalian Vertebrates from the Late Pleistocene of the Mississippi-Alabama Black Prairie by :

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mississippi-Alabama Black Prairie is a distinct geologic, physiographic, and phytogeographic district within the Gulf Coastal Plain Province of southeastern North America. Residing in the alluvial portions of local Quaternary regolith are rare and diffusely distributed vertebrate fossils collectively possessing a Rancholabrean (NALMA) character. Derived from stream-concentrated lags, this seemingly loose association of vertebrate fossils is defined herein as the Late Pleistocene Black Prairie fossil assemblage (BPA). Although some systematic and interpretive work has been published in the past, much remains to be done, specifically with regard to defining the assemblage in terms of a local paleofauna and thereby exploring its usefulness as a paleoenvironmental tool. In the light of new species discoveries, the current paper explores assemblage paleofaunistics using the nonmammalian component. The first part of this study provides a comprehensive and detailed morphometric and comparative description of the vertebrate remains in order to identify as many individual fossil specimens as possible from the very fragmentary BPA. In a stream-concentrated assemblage, turtle shell elements and snake vertebrae, for example, can provide much paleoecological information, but if heavily eroded by abrasive lag components and reworking, their identification can be labor intensive with many pieces remaining unidentified. Many assemblage and paleofaunal systematic accounts in the published literature consist of weak and even baseless attributions or of simple faunal lists alone. Such brief descriptive systematic treatments provide little if any justification for the taxonomic assignment. Therefore, the first half of this paper attempts to identify and describe important characters useful in the identification of certain non-mammalian vertebrates, primarily the freshwater turtles, which were not adequately covered in earlier accounts of the BPA. The second part of this study is in.
