Natural Science Forum / Biology / Paleontology / August 2004

  Ignoring the filename of the image below, I was wondering if anyone
can help me identify the apparent trilobite tail.  I found this fossil
in northern Indiana in the mid-80's as a kid and I've had it in my
collection since.  Of course as a kid, I didn't take the time to record ...

We recently found several boxes of fossil collected in the John Day
Fossil Beds while clear out a house prior to having a estate sale. We
would like to try and identify them and then donate them to a school.
Anyone care to recommend a good book or books.

I'm looking for information on techniques of cross-cutting or slicing
Foraminifera. I have been to many good web sites that discuss
collecting and mounting of forams, but I have yet to find any
information on cutting.

A renowned pterosaur expert has examined various fossils of
prolacertiforms and pterosaurs and sees what he believes to be very
young members of these groups accompanying their parents. He suggests
that they cling on, possibly around the neck!

Okay, I subscribe to The Scientist, it's a web Magazine.  I read this
article on the subject of the Chagas Parasite Reading Refrence Link:

in Earth history there were two big mass extinctions,
one 65 millions years ago and other 250 millions years ago.
besides them there were 9 others that happened between every 26 millions years.
those beings did not die, but were taken to difrent planets in our galaxy.

Just for fun, use Google and call up "deceit, deception,
collusion and conspiracy."
