WINDOWS INTO NATURAL HISTORY: The Learning Resource Center Powell Hall, the Florida Museum of Natural History's exhibition and education center, is still very much a work-in-progress. The Learning Resource Center, the last of our four permanent exhibition halls slated for construction, represents an unprecedented opportunity to highlight the museum's collections and research with exciting interactive exhibits featuring some of the museum's more than 25 million specimens and artifacts. Progress on the exhibits is driven largely by availability of funds. We currently do not have a construction date set for this hall. The museum is actively seeking sponsors for this exhibit ; with the help of private and corporate gifts, we hope to accelerate exhibit hall construction. Naming opportunities are still available for most of the planned components of the hall. If you are interested in sponsoring all or part of this exhibit, please contact the Museum Development Office at (352) 846-2000 ext. 256. Below are concept sketches for the hall; the actual design may vary once funding is secured.

OCEANS OF KANSAS PALEONTOLOGY FOSSILS FROM THE WESTERN INTERIOR SEA Updated 03/21/2003 The Oceans of Kansas Guest Book Please take a moment to VIEW and / or SIGN the Guest Book! (We've got visitors from all around the world!) Welcome to the Oceans of Kansas Paleontology web page. My name is Mike Everhart and I am your host on a virtual journey more than 85 million years "back in time" to observe some of the many strange and wonderful creatures that lived in the oceans of the Earth during the final stages of the Age of Dinosaurs. ( More info here ) I have collected fossils from the Smoky Hill Chalk of western Kansas for the last thirty years. I am now an Adjunct Curator of Paleontology at the new Sternberg Museum of Natural History in Hays, Kansas (for more information about the Sternberg Museum, see the note below). My handy paleo-reference page My interests are primarily in marine reptiles and especially mosasaurs and plesiosaurs . Oceans of Kansas Paleontology is an educational site that provides extensive information about the animals that lived in and over the ancient ocean that once covered Kansas and much of the Midwest United States (and Canada). This web site has very little information about dinosaurs, but we do recommend some excellent dinosaur sites on the Oceans of Kansas Links page. For more information about the origin of mosasaur and plesiosaur names, go to Ben Creisler's

7. Frequently Asked Questions About Paleontology Q What is paleontology? A paleontology is the study of fossils. A fossil is defined as any trace of a past life form. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/FAQ/faq.html

Frequently Asked Questions about Paleontology What is paleontology? How does paleontology differ from anthropology and archaeology? What are the practical uses of paleontology? How do paleontologists know how old their fossils are? ... Where are some other WWW servers dealing with paleontology? Q: What is paleontology? A: Paleontology is the study of fossils. A fossil is defined as any trace of a past life form. Thus, although wood, bones, and shells are the most common fossils, under certain conditions soft tissues, tracks and trails, and even coprolites (fossil feces) may be preserved as fossils. Although most of the fossils that paleontologists study are several thousands to several billions of years old, there is no absolute minimum age for a biological structure to be a fossil. Paleontologists study these fossils and attempt to use them to reconstruct the history of the Earth and the life on it. Some study the ecology of the past; others work on the evolution of fossil taxa. Click here to find out more about paleontology. Q: How does paleontology differ from archaeology and anthropology?

Texas Fossils: What is Paleontology ? Why study fossils? By studying fossils you will learn how modern life evolved through millions of years on earth. In this page, we will: Define fossils Texas geology Explain fossil formation Read about Dinosaur Tracks at Glen Rose, Texas in PDF file format Fossils Defined The study of fossils is called paleontology. Fossils are found in layers of rocks all over earth.Geologists study rocks and minerals, paleontologists study fossils buried in different layers of rocks on earth. Fossils are definded as: remains or traces of some part of the anatomy of once-living things that are older than our recent geological experience Once-living things refers to organisms large and small, simple and complex from the Plant and Animal Kingdoms. Anatomy refers to basic body parts, like teeth, spines, leaf prints or shells of once-living organisms or even the marks left behind like a dinosaur's footprint. Fossils are a record of the evoloution of life through geologic time. Paleontology, the study of fossils, has been invaluable in reconstructing prehistoric envrionments, identifying animals and plants living millions of years ago, and tracing the evoloution of living things. Fossils also make up a major contribution to the economy of modern Texas. Petroleum, natural gas and coal are called "fossil fuels" because the consist of former plants and animals.

Mosasaurs, Sharks, and Other Marine Creatures from the Cooperstown Pierre Shale Site By John W. Hoganson, Michael Hanson, Dennis L. Halvorson, and Verla Halvorson The Cooperstown site encompasses an area of about two square kilometers along the Sheyenne River southeast of Cooperstown, Griggs County, in a place referred to locally as the "Indian mounds". The name refers to the haystack shaped hills in the valley which were thought by some to be Indian burial mounds. These hills, however, are erosional remnants of the once much more extensive Pierre Shale rock formation. It is in these rocks that the most diverse assemblage of fossils ever found in the Pierre Shale in North Dakota is located. In this part of eastern North Dakota the landscape has mostly been sculpted by glacial processes.

INDEX FOSSILS Index fossils are commonly found, widely distributed fossils that are limited in time span. They help in dating other fossils found in the same sedimentary layer. For example, if you find a fossil from an unknown era near a fossil from a known time, you can assume that the two species were from about the same time. Examples of index fossils include: Ammonites were common during the Mesozoic Era (245 to 65 mya), They were not found after the Cretaceous period, as they went extinct during the K-T extinction (65 mya). Brachiopods (mollusk-like marine animals) appeared during the Cambrian (540 to 500 mya); some examples still survive. Graptolites (widespread colonial marine hemichordates) that lived from the Cambrian period (roughly 540 to 505 million years ago) to the early to mid-Carboniferous (360 to 320 million years ago).

TRACE FOSSILS Trace fossils (ichnofossils) record the movements and behaviors of the dinosaurs. There are many types of trace fossils. Even the lack of trace fossils can yield information; the lack of tail-furrow fossils indicates an erect tail stance for dinosaurs that were previously believed to have dragged their tails. Trackways (sets of footprints) Dinosaur tracks , usually made in mud or fine sand, have been found at over 1500 sites , including quarries, coal mines , riverbeds, deserts, and mountains. There are so many of these fossils because each dinosaur made many tracks (but had only one skeleton) and because tracks fossilize well. Ichnotaxia (fossil footprints) have yielded information about: Speed and length of stride whether they walked on two or four legs the bone structure of the foot stalking behavior (a carnivore hunting a herd of herbivores) the existence of dinosaur herds and stampedes how the tail is carried (no tail tracks have been found, so tails were probably held erect)
