Dinosaur ‘Judith’ Fossils: Triceratops Ancestor With A Head Adorned With A Spiky ‘Shield’ Of Bone And ‘Devil’ Horns; Used Them To Attract Mate The researchers have discovered dinosaur fossils 10 years ago. It belongs to “Judith,” a spiky headed ancestor triceratops, which trudged the American north-west over 65 million years ago. Recently, the study reveals that “Judith” was much more important than previously thought. The researchers believe that she is a new species, which is called “Spiclypeus hipporum,” with a head that is adorned with a spiky’s shield of bone. This was probably used as part of a courtship display and mating, or to identify the members of the same species. They were able to recognize the species from not much bone fragments.
In this project, we investigated the tooth shape of several, common primates (Gorillas, Macaques, Baboons, etc.), fossil hominins (Australopithecus africanus, Homo
Condition: Upon examination of the remains, there were soil stains apparent on the upper ribs, as well as the skull and upper vertebrae. There is evidence of insect and scavenger activity, apparent from the damage to the right femora, and right pubic.
Sedimentary rocks interpret dinosaur habitats through encased environmental structures of the past. Through sedimentary rocks, paleoecologists’ can examine the arranged formation of sedimentary structures to specify what type of environment the dinosaurs’ lived in. An example of a specific sedimentary rock structure can be seen through formed weathering and ripple marks by how wind and sand formed distinct patterns in the past layered sediment. These arrangements provide interpretations on the structure of the sediment and the habitat of encased fossils, through modern day comparisons
In a statement, Dr. Gilbert Price, a vertebrate palaeoecologist expresses his disbelief at having uncovered the find, “Our jaws dropped when we found a tiny fossil from a giant lizard during a two meter deep excavation of one of the Capricorn Caves, near Rockhampton. The bone, which scientists have classified as an “osteoderm,” 0.4-inch (1-centimeter)
Every so often a discovery is made that attempts to shake up pre-conceived notions of how the dinosaurs actually lived or how they came to be. On June 22, 2000, in Oregon, scientists announced the discovery of the oldest known animal to have feathers. Though no records indicate how the age of the animal was determined, the
First, the broad cheek bones and broad skull are consistent of those of a robust australopithecine (McFarland). Whereas gracile australopithecines and Homo erectus species have a skinnier face and not as prominent check bones. Also, robust also have a small brain size resulting in less cranial capacity than the others. The second factor I considered was the sagittal crest that appeared to be on top of fossil #9’s cranium. For robust australopithecines, the sagittal crest is a bony ridge on top of the skull located more towards the back. (Dorey) The other crania at the station were missing this key feature which made them easy to eliminate. The third element I was looking for during my observation was the prognathism of the face, meaning the face was projecting forward (McFarland). This helped me eliminate the fossils I was unsure about. For example, fossil #8 had robust facial features like a prominent brow ridge but lacked the prognathic face robust australopithecines
While excavating a meteorite crater in northeastern Iowa's Winneshiek Shale, paleontologists discovered the fossil of an enormous and bizarre ancient scorpion species that lived in the ocean. It is now believed to be Planet Earth's earliest large predator. The findings were published in the journal BMC Evolutionary Biology on August 31st, 2015.
In 2005, Palaeontologist Mary Schweitzer and her team made the discovery of finding original soft tissue, including blood vessels, in a Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil in Montana. Many of Schweitzer's fellow scientists insisted that she had been mistaken because of previous theories of how fossils were preserved. The fossil was buried in a permeable sandstone, where groundwater could get in. Since organic material is quickly broken down in water, the soft tissue should have decayed quickly under the conditions. When an animal dies, the soft tissues (skin) decays and disappears over time, while hard tissues (bone) may gradually obtain minerals from the environment and become fossils. Evolutionists scrambled to propose a reason on how the soft tissue could have been completely preserved in pristine condition (Fields, H. 2006) (Morris, D. 2005). The extensive study of bones from New Zealand’s extinct giant Moa bird calculated that the lifespan of DNA should be measured in thousands, not millions of years. Therefore the unfossilised dinosaur bone is
Six new species of dinosaurs have been found after researchers from the University of Alberta analyzed theropod teeth from eight regions in Spain.
Therefore I believe a dinosaur could have been in my backyard because of sedimentary rocks being the only rock to be able to contain fossils and these rocks being found in the sand dunes at Hallett Cove Beach, the fossils found of an ancient sea creature having a relation to dinosaurs and opal being a popular rock to mine and this being a way of preserving underwater fossils in their original state.

As a one year old child when my parents first moved to Stump Tavern Road in 1959 when my father was stationed at McGuire AFB, I have seen the metamorphous of Jackson from a sleepy rural township into a suburban bedroom community. After college, I chose to return to Jackson and raise my Jewish family here for the same reasons so many choose it today; the quality of life, public school system, and aesthetics of the countryside. It is with this background I am writing to you today to applaud your courage and foresight and voice my full support of Ordinances #03-17 and #04-17 for a complete ban of dormitories in all residential and commercial zones. Unrestrained development is environmentally unsustainable and as the caretakers of this town
It can be a fun and stimulating information when you are scanning for dinosaur fossils, for instance, bones and eggs. Territory is the huge criteria to make sense of fossils and if you are at the unequivocal place and know not the bone then there is an open entryway for you to get reward by a bone of a soonest creature.
In life, we all have life-changing events that happen to everyone and usually makes us think about the decision that we made. For me my life changing event was when I had my first real heartbreak about a few months ago. The reason it was so heartbreaking was because my ex cheated on me not once not twice, but over seven different times with several women. Since my first real heartbreak has happened to me, I realized that a first heartbreak is tough to get over, but after all you do recover from it and you do move on with your life.
