Transitional fossil

Radiocarbon dating, which is quite often referred to as Carbon-14, or C14, is probably used the most of all absolute dating techniques. The method is used to date all sorts of artifacts including bones, cloth, and wood, in addition to plants. For artifacts up to about 50,000 years old, it is one of the most specific methods of dating available. In the late 1940’s, C-14 was developed by Willard Libby. Archeologists use this dating method, which is the standard in the scientific industry to this date

With our new technology though scientists have been able to have more accurate studies on them now. There are still more fossils being found each year. Some are from new dinosaurs while others are from ones we already knew about but help us gain more information on them. It is amazing how much knowledge scientists have found out about them just by studying the fossils. Maybe in the future our questions will be answered. Hopefully someday they will and with how much technology is advancing I have

In determining the age of our world many geologist have set out to find the details that remain consistent throughout the world. What has been found is that you can closely determine the age of the world based upon the layers that have been formed throughout the varying periods of time. The article “The Grand Age of Rocks” walks us through the two main areas of dating I.e. “Relative Dating” and “Absolute Dating”. These two differences are important to understand as we seek to identify just how long

The Truth and Commercialization In Stephen Gould’s “Dinomania”, he explains how the movie Jurassic Park commercialized the truth of dinosaurs. Gould’s article gave insight of how paleontologist looked at movies like Jurassic Park and criticized movies like such for not giving educational information of how dinosaurs actually performed and looked. Actually comparing the truth of dinosaurs and the entertain of dinosaurs are two different perceptive but needed to be addressed. Furthermore, how could

environments. An evolutionist article states, “Fossils provide solid evidence that organisms from the past are not the same as those found today; they show a progression of evolution… The resulting fossil record tells the story of the past and shows the evolution of form over millions of years. For example, scientists have recovered highly-detailed records showing the evolution of humans and horses.” (Evidence of Evolution, n.d.) In reality the fossil record shows that there was a sudden and nearly

The earth is known to be old, but what is the truth of how old is the earth. There is scientific evidence of how old it is, some would say it’s Billions of years and some would say Thousands of years old. There is a lot of factors like rocks layers, plants, animals, sun, moon and many more facts that can predict how many years has the earth been around. But to find the truth if it’s a Billions of years or Thousands of years we would have to compare the two and even look into scientist discovering

for snails or other organisms that would consume algae thereby leading to a flourishing population of cyanobacteria. The cyanobacteria population started blooming with little deterrence as far back as three and a half billion years ago as shown in fossil evidence. Although the stromatolites in Hamelin pool are not nearly this ancient (they age at about three thousand years

the “Darwin’s dilemma” have shows that animal do indeed have a Precambrian origin. The fossil record of that simple bodied history and behavior has now been uncovered. According to the authors, this proves that the Cambrian explosion was a real evolutionary phenomenon that needs to be explored and explained. This article shows readers that there is a way to know more about the past and how animal’s fossils can help understand animal evolution. In this article, the author is giving more opinion

Marine calcareous microfossils are extensively utilized as geochemical proxy-archives. Among the traditional isotope proxies, δ18O and δ13C of foraminiferal tests are used as geochemical tools to determine numerous paleoceanographic parameters, such as, paleo-temperature, sea-ice volume, paleo-sea level, variation of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the seawater, paleo-productivity and ocean circulation pattern (Urey et al., 1951; Epstein et al., 1953; Emiliani, 1954; Boyle and Keigwin, 1985;

Dating the Rocks of The Grand Canyon (old earth vs. young earth) I. Introduction The Grand Canyon is a National Park located in Arizona where over four billion individuals go to visit yearly (“Grand Canyon National Park,” n.d.; Hill & Moshier, 2009, p. 99). It is over “18 miles wide”; “a mile deep”; and “300 miles long” (“Grand Canyon National Park,” n.d.; Bohlin, 1993). When looking at the Grand Canyon, there are essentially two sides, the South side and the North side also known as Rims. Both
