Deep in the caverns, González and his colleagues retrieved fossils that are between 10,000 and 60,000 years old, including those of extinct camelids, giant armadillos and horses. All are from the Pleistocene Epoch, when the Yucatán was covered not with low forests but with dry grasslands....
This is a place where we can sharelocationsto collect specific minerals, crystals, fossils, etc. I have mainly concentrated on searching for rocks in my immediate area and finding specimens that do not take much effort or time to bear forth. Mainly my collections have been plucked from the ...
“The kind of dinosaurs we find here are duck-billed dinosaurs,” she says, hovering her fingers over the shells. The researchers believe the fossils are Hadrosaurs, but they can’t be 100 percent sure. No adult dinosaur bones have been found in the nests. “The only way to identify the...
Accelerated evolution of complex life by the onset of PT is critical mainly due to the general slowness of biological evolution. Timescales of biological evolution estimated on the basis of the analysis of phylogenies and/or fossils take hundreds of millions of years, comparable to timescales of ma...
