Book Synopsis Jurassic West, Second Edition by : John Foster
Download or read book Jurassic West, Second Edition written by John Foster and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famous bone beds of the Morrison Formation, formed one hundred and fifty million years ago and running from Wyoming down through the red rock region of the American Southwest, have yielded one of the most complete pictures of any ancient vertebrate ecosystem in the world. Jurassic West, Second Edition tells the story of the life of this ancient world as scientists have so far been able to reconstruct it. Aimed at the general reader, Jurassic West, Second Edition recounts the discovery of many important Late Jurassic dinosaurs such as Apatosaurus, Allosaurus, and Stegosaurus. But dinosaurs compose barely a third of the more than 90 types of vertebrates known from the formation, which include crocodiles and turtles, frogs and salamanders, dinosaurs and mammals, clams and snails, and ginkgoes, ferns, and conifers. Featuring nearly all new illustrations, the second edition of this classic work includes new taxa named since 2007, updates to the naming and classifications of some old taxa, and expanded sections on numerous aspects of Morrison Formation paleontology and geology.

Book Synopsis Applied Palaeontology by : Robert Wynn Jones
Download or read book Applied Palaeontology written by Robert Wynn Jones and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-04 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palaeontology has developed from a descriptive science to an analytical science used to interpret relationships between earth and life history. This book highlights its key role in the study of the evolving earth, life history and environmental processes. After an introduction to fossils and their classification, each of the principal fossil groups are studied in detail, covering their biology, morphology, classification, palaeobiology and biostratigraphy. The latter sections focus on the applications of fossils in the interpretation of earth and life processes and environments.
Book Synopsis Analogs for Planetary Exploration by : W. Brent Garry
Download or read book Analogs for Planetary Exploration written by W. Brent Garry and published by Geological Society of America. This book was released on 2011 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where on Earth is it like Mars? How were the Apollo astronauts trained to be geologists on the Moon? Are volcanoes on Earth just like the ones on other planets? The exploration of our solar system begins in our own backyard. Discoveries on other planetary bodies cannot always be easily explained. Therefore, geologic sites on this planet are used to better understand the extraterrestrial worlds we explore with humans, robots, and satellites. Analogs for Planetary Exploration is a compilation of historical accounts of astronaut geology training, overviews of planetary geology research on Mars, educational field trips to analog sites, plus concepts for future human missions to the Moon. This Special Paper provides a great overview of the science, training, and planning related to planetary exploration for students, educators, researchers, and geology enthusiasts. After all, as we learn about the solar system we can better understand our own planet Earth.

Book Synopsis Reconstructing the Specimens and History of Howe Quarry (Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation; Wyoming) by : Emanuel Tschopp
Download or read book Reconstructing the Specimens and History of Howe Quarry (Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation; Wyoming) written by Emanuel Tschopp and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1934, Barnum Brown of the American Museum of Natural History in New York (AMNH) led a large-scale dinosaur excavation in northern Wyoming, where he had found bones two years earlier. Initially, Brown expected to excavate two skeletons of sauropod dinosaurs, but soon after opening the quarry, the team realized that the site far exceeded their expectations: in the end, they unearthed approximately 3000 bones within six months and sent approximately 144 crates back to the AMNH. Due to the enormous number of bones, the site became world famous as a dinosaur graveyard, and media from all over the United States and abroad reported on the expedition. Soon after, however, the collection shifted away from a curatorial focus. What followed was a history of neglect: inappropriate storage conditions, water and fire damage, collapsing wooden boxes, and deteriorating plaster jackets. Relocation and further excavation of the quarry by the Sauriermuseum Aathal (Switzerland; SMA) from 1989 to 1991 confirmed earlier finds of skin impressions and resulted in the recognition of a novel diplodocid sauropod: Kaatedocus siberi. Given that the amount of bones found by the AMNH far exceeded those found by the SMA, a new project was started in 2017 to reassess the state and scientific value of the historic collections at AMNH. Although most of the bones are heavily fragmented, preliminary results show that overall preservation is still exceptional. Here, we reconstruct the history of the excavation, as well as past conservation and preparation procedures, and provide a report of current efforts to prepare, conserve, and catalog the material that has remained in storage since the 1930s. These current efforts show that historic collections, even after decades of neglect, can be of great and unexpected value, both for research and scientific outreach.
