Schweitzer MH, Wittmeyer JL, Horner JR, Toporski JK (25 March 2005). "Soft-tissue vessels and cellular preservation in Tyrannosaurus rex". Science. 307 (5717): 1952–5. Bibcode: 2005Sci...307.1952S. doi: 10.1126/science.1108397. PMID 15790853. S2CID 30456613. Get hands on and discover how a fossil is formed, what becomes fossilised and why, have a go at working out some mystery fossils and touch a cast of one of the most important fossils ever discovered – the archaeopteryx! Learning Objectives:

Many of us associate science with high-tech undertakings. But when it comes to digging up dinosaurs, methods are far more humble, with palaeontologists in the field typically armed with shovels, brushes and the occasional power tool. Where do you find a dinosaur? Signor–Lipps effect– Sampling bias in the fossil record raising difficulties to characterize extinctions a b Lepot, Kevin; Benzerara, Karim; Brown, Gordon E.; Philippot, Pascal (2008). "Microbially influenced formation of 2.7 billion-year-old stromatolites". Nature Geoscience. 1 (2): 118–21. Bibcode: 2008NatGe...1..118L. doi: 10.1038/ngeo107. The ancient Egyptians gathered fossils of species that resembled the bones of modern species they worshipped. The god Set was associated with the hippopotamus, therefore fossilized bones of hippo-like species were kept in that deity's temples. [71] Five-rayed fossil sea urchin shells were associated with the deity Sopdu, the Morning Star, equivalent of Venus in Roman mythology. [70] Ceratopsian skulls are common in the Dzungarian Gate mountain pass in Asia, an area once famous for gold mines, as well as its endlessly cold winds. This has been attributed to legends of both gryphons and the land of Hyperborea.Despite significant advances in uncovering and identifying paleontological specimens, it is generally accepted that the fossil record is vastly incomplete. [103] [104] Approaches for measuring the completeness of the fossil record have been developed for numerous subsets of species, including those grouped taxonomically, [105] [106] temporally, [107] environmentally/geographically, [108] or in sum. [109] [110] This encompasses the subfield of taphonomy and the study of biases in the paleontological record. [111] [112] [113] Art Löfgren, A. (2004).

The Zebra River Canyon area of the Kubis platform in the deeply dissected Zaris Mountains of southwestern Namibia provides an extremely well exposed example of the thrombolite-stromatolite-metazoan reefs that developed during the Proterozoic period, the stromatolites here being better developed in updip locations under conditions of higher current velocities and greater sediment influx.
