However, unlike the cases of sea otters and pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses, whose limbs are functional both on land and at sea), it is not easy to envision what the first whales looked like. Extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil record. How ...
However, bigger generators are more expensive and may require more maintenance. With fossil fuel generators, a larger capacity may restrict where you can install and operate the machine. Plus, high-wattage gas and diesel generators consume more fuel than smaller ones — even when the attached load...

Through examination of the fossil records of turritelline gastropods (Cerithioidea, Turritellidae) from Cenozoic deposits of the U.S. Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plains and New Zealand, we propose simple tests for judging whether a particular fossil record is adequate for drawing conclusions about ...
As a first approach, we will assume that if a type of fish is kosher today its ancestral relatives would have also been kosher. We can thus ask: what is the fossil record of kosher fish groups? A list of those fish today that are kosher and non-kosher and what taxonomic groups they ...
