Besides the fact that dinosaurs once lived in the ocean, you can also find fossils on every continent of the Earth, even at the summit of Mount Everest. This fact will amaze you, and you'll want to teach your children about this incredible natural phenomenon.Fossils are the remains of ancient life that give scientists clues about how our planet was like millions of years ago. They are made up mostly of the hard parts of animals and plants that lived millions of years ago. Some of the most famous fossils include teeth, bones, and shells of dinosaurs, but they can also be composed of wood, leaves, and corals. Some fossils can even have remnants of DNA and hair!In addition to bones, fossils are made of other things. For example, a Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur coprolite contains crushed bones. But fossils are much more than just bones. They can include feathered dinosaurs and other animals as well. And don't forget that you can see poop preserved in rocks.

Download or read book Evolution written by Donald R. Prothero and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 891 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald R. Prothero’s Evolution is an entertaining and rigorous history of the transitional forms and series found in the fossil record. Its engaging narrative of scientific discovery and well-grounded analysis has led to the book’s widespread adoption in courses that teach the nature and value of fossil evidence for evolution. Evolution tackles systematics and cladistics, rock dating, neo-Darwinism, and macroevolution. It includes extensive coverage of the primordial soup, invertebrate transitions, the development of the backbone, the reign of the dinosaurs, and the transformation from early hominid to modern human. The book also details the many alleged “missing links” in the fossil record, including some of the most recent discoveries that flesh out the fossil timeline and the evolutionary process. In this second edition, Prothero describes new transitional fossils from various periods, vividly depicting such bizarre creatures as the Odontochelys, or the “turtle on the half shell”; fossil snakes with legs; and the “Frogamander,” a new example of amphibian transition. Prothero’s discussion of intelligent design arguments includes more historical examples and careful examination of the “experiments” and observations that are exploited by creationists seeking to undermine sound science education. With new perspectives, Prothero reframes creationism as a case study in denialism and pseudoscience rather than a field with its own intellectual dynamism. The first edition was hailed as an exemplary exploration of the fossil evidence for evolution, and this second edition will be welcome in the libraries of scholars, teachers, and general readers who stand up for sound science in this post-truth era.

A fossil is a preserved remains of a living thing, such as an animal or a microbe. They can be preserved in stone, amber, or petrified wood, oil, coal, or even DNA remnants. You can learn about them and discover some of their fascinating facts in this book. And while you're reading this, don't forget to check out other fascinating facts about fossils! The odds of finding a fossil of a species are less than the odds of winning the lottery. In fact, there are so many species of fossils that most of them will remain undiscovered! And while the term "rare" is used in a loose manner, the concept is still ambiguous. In the case of trilobites, for example, 20,000 species have been described, but many of these fossils are known only in fragments or minute proportions. The process of fossil formation is a complex one. There are two types of fossils: type I and type II. Type I fossils are those that are actually fossils and trace fossils are made by living creatures. Trace fossils are created by removing bone material from a structure. These fossils may also be molds or exoskeletons, shells, wood, and exoskeletons. Prehistoric reptiles were discovered in fossil beds in Texas. The largest fossil, a petrified tree in Thailand, was over 72 feet tall and weighed nearly 60 tons. Fossils are found on every continent on Earth, even on the top of Mount Everest. This helps scientists to estimate how long dinosaurs lived before they went extinct. When they do, scientists will use these fossils to understand more about the earth's evolution.
