    The below paper is an interesting reinterpretation of the depositional environment of the Birket Qarun Formation of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Wadi Al-Hitan, also known as either Valley of Whales or Zeuglodon Valley, in the Western Desert of Egypt. The paper is: Gee, C.T., Sander, P.M., Peters, S.E., El-Hennawy, M.T., Antar, M.S.M., Zalmout, I.S. and Gingerich, P.D., Fossil burrow assemblage, not mangrove roots: reinterpretation of the main whale-bearing layer in the late Eocene of Wadi Al-Hitan, Egypt.

    Inside out? Ediacaran fossils might represent internal structures, researchers say. At 560 million-years-old, Ediacarans are truly ancient organisms, but do palaeontologists really know what they looked like?

  3. DPS Ammonite
    News of a new species of mastodon, the Pacific Mastodon, led me to read about another interesting story about the Cerutti Mastodon found in San Diego, California that was about 130,000 years old. Supposedly humans broke its bones with stones before it was buried. Needless to say, there was a great amount of disagreement that humans were in the America’s 130,000 years ago. An interesting article referencing the Cerutti Mastodon was written in 2017 or later. The author suggested that a giant capuchin monkey may have broken the mastodon’s bones. Enter a small, middle aged man suited up and engulfed in a cloud of cigarette smoke: “That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop.....the Twilight Zone.” https://megafauna.com/a-giant-capuchin-monkey/

    Among the hundreds of very late Pleistocene age bones and bone fragments I've collected from a local Galveston Bay dredge spoils site, I have four that are hollowed out like the one pictured below. I believe this to be a proboscidean foot bone. Anyone recognize this type damage and know of a mechanism that could cause it?

    Exceptionally Preserved Fossils

    Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Fossil News

    Exceptionally preserved fossils: critical evidence of the history of life, December 8, 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8WEdTbPNnM Derek E.G. Briggs Department of Geology and Geophysics Yale University, and Director, Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History One interesting comment that Dr. Briggs made towards the end was that the Herefordshire Lagerstätte is still unique for soft bodied animals in carbonate concretions in bentonite. He felt that there surely must be additional lagerstätte of this type is just nobody has systematically and specifically looked for them. This seems like a project where fossil hunters, who know of carbonate concretions in bentonite bed(s) could make a contribution to paleontology.

    One of the main aspect I like about paleontology, is that a large amount of fossils have been preserved through great natural disasters. I find it hard it identify signs in rock of what could be a cataclysm in the geologic record(leading to fossil preservation)(other than volcanic eruptions). I as wondering if people here could suggest some reading material as well as provide a good case study of a disaster that preserved many fossils. I am aware of the Ashfall Fossil Beds. What about large floods or mud slides? How do they look in the geologic record? Glacial outburst floods? Alien invasion? Regards Alex R

    Juan A. Poblador posted a topic in Member Introductions

    Greetings all! My name is Juan A. Poblador and I have an academic background in Paleontology and Geology from the University of Madrid and University of Alicante (Spain). Since I was very young, my passion for geology and paleontology led me to inspect each and every one of the rocks I found along the way. There is no better teacher than the restlessness of oneself. I suppose, our passion for fossils has very similar origins, no matter where we live, there is always a good sedimentary rock nearby! So far, my job in the field hasn´t allowed me to devote part of my time to participating and getting involved with a Forums like this, dedicated to all "Paleontology lovers". Now I have more time, and I will be happy to share my experience as a Geologist and Paleontologist, as well as enriching myself with the experience of many others. Mainly interested in: Vertebrate Paleontology, Paleoecology, Taphonomy and Geological mapping. Specific interests: Cretaceous Continental Basins Analysis of North Africa, Ocean anoxic events during Cenomanian, Albian-Cenomanian vertebrate assemblages of North Africa and South America. But like most Paleo-lovers, any branch of Paleontology, is fascinating to us. It will be a pleasure to start being part of this Juan A. Poblador
