Extractions: Occasionally on a moonlit night in San Diego's winter season, I recall a scene from the movie Dr. Zhivago . Eerie howling wolves circle the snowbound dacha . With a perverse paleontologist's imagination, I substitute American wolves for Boris Pasternack's Russian wolves. But not the ordinary gray wolf. I use Dire Wolves. Dire Wolves are perhaps the best known of all the fossil dogs from North America. Sturdier and larger than modern wolves, unfortunately they disappeared along with mammoths and mastodons by about 12,000 years ago, just about the time humans arrived in North America. Recent investigations of human habitation sites in Mexico, Peru, and Bolivia indicate that domestic dogs were already living with humans by around 12,000 years ago, and that these dogs probably arrived in North America from Eurasia as did humans. Actually, the domestic dogs' arrival in North America was merely a homecoming, since all dogs in the world can trace their ancestry back to North America. For the last 37 million years some 140 species of dogs thrived and died here, giving rise at various times to emigrant dogs that populated the rest of the world. Today's wolf-like dogs (the Red and Gray Wolves, various jackals, the Bush Dog of Brazil, the African hunting dog, and the Asian dhole) all descend from

Farlow, M. K. Brett-Surman Recommendation: Eyewitness: Fossil Paul D. Taylor, Colin Keates by TS Paleontology is the the study of earth-bound remains as a means of explaining and exploring the history of man and nature. It is the study of time's biological footprints. Paleontology is the scientific study of life-forms existing in former geological time periods. Fossils, the remains or imprint of a plant or animal preserved from prehistoric times by natural methods and found mainly in sedimentary rock, asphalt, coal, and amber, are the chief data upon which paleontological study is based. To most people paleontology means dinosaur hunting . The grandness of their existence and the mystery surrounding their extinction have made them very popular. However, while dinosaurs and dinosaur hunting is definitely a part of what a paleontologist might do, there is much more to paleontology than just dinosaurs. In fact, paleontology isn't just the study of ancient forms of life. It is also a comparative science that explores and tries to map out how various life forms changed over the millions of years in between Earth's beginning and now, and how the plants and animals we have today are related to those ancient species.
