How Did Earnest Stromer Get Into The Sahara Desert In Egypt?

What affected the egyptians environment? This is the main idea that we will be looking into. There were many things that affected where the egyptians lived and their culture. They had to face many difficulties, but there were three things that I am certain affected their lives the most. The topics that I believe are the most important are: the papyrus plant, the desert, and the inundation. These three topics are very essential because without each one of them, life for the egyptians would be no more than being born and waiting to die.

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

Thesis: Due to geographic, cultural, and historic evidence, Egypt is an Afrocentric so studying it should be considered Afrocentric. However, due to social constructs and the colonization of Africa, many wrongly do not consider studying Egypt as Afrocentric.

The reading passage proposes three theories which support the idea that a dinosaur which is called edmontosaurus survived in the winter by migrating to the south, the more hospitable region than the extremely cold in the North Slope. However, the professor in the listening respectively contradicts each theory in the reading passage by using strong evidence as support.

While a theropod “beast-footed” carnivore includes the T. Rex, the ones that likely roamed Wrangel-St.Elias National Park were considerably smaller. The researchers found evidence of a single theropod that was likely a tiny 9 cm long and 7 cm wide due to an impression of the sinusoidal shape. Several ornithopod, medium and large plant-eating dinosaurs, was identified by blunt and rounded digit impressions which are usually 22 cm long and 26 wide. It was the first evidence that dinosaurs roamed this vast region.

Marsh, named and described a new species of sauropod named Apatosaurus with a description based upon little else but a few vertebrae and part of a pelvis in 1877. Later Marsh hastily named another sauropod Brontosaurus also that was based upon incomplete material, even after more of the skeleton was recovered, he ended up presenting a full reconstruction of this sauropod. Later however in 1903, Elmer Riggs, which was another paleontologist showed that the bones of Brontosaurus and Apatosaurus belonged to the same dinosaur. After this the name Brontosaurus was stricken from records until recently when it has been proposed to bring Brontosaurs back (Tschopp). In fact there was another error that some paleontologists suspected, however haven’t been able to prove wrong. It seems as if Marsh also made the mistake of using the wrong head on a dinosaur. He ended up giving his skeleton of Brontosaurs the skull of another sauropod named Camarasaurus (Othniel C.

Abstract: This paper deals with the Shantungosaurus Giganteus and its discovery, fossil information, its phylogeny and reconstructed life habit. The features of the Shantungosaurus include flat beaks, large jaws, and large holes near their nostrils. They prefers high ground and lived in warm weather with ample precipitation. Theses herbivores behavior includes being social or companionable as well as terrestrial. These dinosaurs would travel in herds due to the ongoing treat of predators attacking. The Shantungosaurus did have the ability to defend itself but also knew when to flee if a predator bigger than them came along. These dinosaurs survived until the Late Cretaceous period until one of the greatest mass extinctions happened which ended

This tough old man-of-a-town is cradled in a stark and isolated depression between the Argus and Coso mountain ranges in eastern California. On first glance, it seems to be barely breathing. Some say it is just another desert ghost town waiting to happen, but don’t even think about saying that to one of the 40 or so residents.

The fossils that are yet to be found in this project just very well may double the museum’s collection which is already at 3.5 million fossils. The project contains 16 fossil deposits that were recently unknown which makes us wonder how many more deposits are there left to discover (The Natural History Foundation, 2016). As technology advances and our understanding of these fossils grows it will be interesting to see what the future years will bring to the field of

The Stegosaurus is said to be twenty-six to thirty feet long and about nine feet tall! the stegosaurs weighed six thousand-eight hundred pounds, can you believe that? but it had a very small brain, about the size of a nut. they are herbivores, meaning they only eat low plants and crops. they have seventeen bone plates that grew out of its back! some think that their plates helped them look bigger maybe to scare off the meat eaters or maybe just to show off. they also have spikes on their tail, the stegosaurus tail is four feet long as their tail is also very flexible and they can use to protect themselves from large predators or scare those carnivores. Its name also means covered lizard, they could not walk very fast and some paleontologists believe that if that if they had blood veales running through their plates that its plates could change color, pretty interesting right?

ient Egypt was an established civilization of Northeastern Africa. Located near the lower half of the Nile River, it was an extremely sophisticated civilization for its time. The Egyptians were especially intelligent in agriculture and infrastructure. They had pyramids and temples, that were places of worship and used for religious matter. Basic buildings that were used for things like banking and irrigations systems used to control flooding. The Egyptians were able to adjust and modify to their natural surroundings as well. By predicting the flood of the Nile River, they were able to stimulate agriculture and maintain their population. They were also pioneers in a number of new technologies; some of which are highly used today.  Much of

Ardipithecus and other early Australopithecines lived in a habitat much wetter than the environment of Aramis, Ethiopia today. The set for scene one could at times experience a “rain fall,” and should include a woodland habitat with patches of denser forest and an abundant amount of monkeys just as what would have been seen between five and three million years ago. In 1992, an expedition led by Tim White of the University of California, Berkeley discovered the fossil of Ardipithecus ramidus, dating back to 4.4 million years ago. The skeleton nicknamed “Ardi” ended up weighing around 112 pounds, stood almost four feet tall, (somewhat larger than a male chimpanzee but smaller than a female gorilla) and was most likely a female. Ardi’s ape sized brain has a cranial capacity of only 300 to 350 CC.

Another important piece of evidence was fossil distribution. Fossils of many different species were found on multiple continents yet these species fossils showed no evidence that they could swim across the extensive oceans that separate the continents in present day. One of these species was Mesosaurus, a crocodile-like reptile that lived in freshwater lakes and ponds. Mesosaurus was found only in South Africa and South America and, being a coastal animal, there was no way it could swim across the large ocean that now separates the two continents. Another species was Lystrosaurus, which was only found in Antarctica, India, and South Africa. Being a land dominant species, Lystrosaurus would not be capable of crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Glossopteris,

The extinct genus specie dimetrodon live in the early Permian period it was around two hundred and ninety five to two hundred seventy two years ago. The family member of dimetrodon is the sphenacodniate. The dimetrodon walk on four legs also it had a tail, curved skull with very large teeth of many different sizes set along the jaw. Most of the dimetrodon fossils have been found in the southwestern part of the United States. Recently dimetrodon fossils have been found in Germany.

There were a skull, claws, and bones that formed the sail on its back. If we take a closer look on the skull of Spinosaurus we could see that it has a small nostrils midway up the snout, which is used for breathing with the jaws submerged, this unique characteristic is similar to how the crocodiles breathe. The skeletal evidences shown the detail of a narrow hips and short thighs also paddle-like feet, which could possibly refer to a semi-aquatic life. According to those fossils evidences, a dinosaur expert Thomas Holtz who works at the department of Geology, University of Maryland believes that Spinosaurus
