Where is Tiktaalik and is it open to be viewed by the public?

Key finds, especially if they are rare specimen, are not usually themselves put on public display. Rather, casts are made and distributed to researchers and musea around the world, while the fossils themselves are kept secure in laboratoria and archives, in a controlled climate. Casts of Tiktaalik may be found in various natural history musea, such as the Harvard Museum of Natural History.


Why does the shadow change during the day?

Shadows are created when something comes between the Sun and the surface upon which the shadow is cast. So if you draw a straight line from the Sun's position in the sky and on through the object that's casting the shadow, you will find that the shadow occurs where the straight line intersects that surface. Let's call that straight line the line of shadow (LOS). And it goes Sun to object, to surface where the shadow lies. But wait, the shadow is moving, very very slowly but it is moving. Remember the LOS determines where the shadow lies upon the surface. So something is changing with the LOS. And that something is the Sun's position in the sky. The Sun rises higher in the sky before noon and sags lower in the sky after noon (approximately). As it rises and lowers, the angle at which the LOS intersects the surface and casts that shadow changes to made the shadow shorter as the Sun lifts and longer as the Sun sets. Bottom line: shadows caused by the Sun change during the day because the position of the Sun in the sky changes from low to high, back to low during the day. And that changes the LOS angle onto the shadowed surface.


How old was the peking man?

Peking man is thought to have been between 200,000 to 500,000 years old. Peking man was discovered in 1929. Since then, the original bones have been stolen and all that remains are plaster casts.


What liquid would put out a fire in a bale of cotton?

Gasoline. Because it will be absorbed into the cotton(unlike water or any other liquid). The "cold effect" that it casts will nullify the heat source(smoldering cotton) and thus put out the fire. Hope this helps.


What is the maximum depth at which fossils are found in the earth's crust?

They are mostly found on, or very near, the surface. They have probably been quite deeply buried at some point ( a lot can happen in, say, 70 million years) but due to tectonic movements and erosion, they finish up where we can find them. If all the Jurassic rocks were buried at about 300m, then our knowledge of dinosaurs would be impressively small.

The presence of white blood cell casts in the urine is indicative of pyelonephritis and red blood cell casts indicative of glomerulonephritis?

White blood cell casts in the urine are typically associated with acute interstitial nephritis, while red blood cell casts are more commonly seen in acute glomerulonephritis. Pyelonephritis is usually characterized by the presence of white blood cells in the urine without casts.

Do hyaline casts form as a result of increased urine flow?

Hyaline casts can form in urine under various conditions, but they are not specifically a direct result of increased urine flow. Instead, they typically indicate concentrated urine or the presence of certain renal conditions. Hyaline casts are often associated with dehydration, exercise, or mild renal stress, but an increase in urine flow may dilute urine and potentially reduce cast formation. Thus, while increased urine flow does not directly lead to hyaline casts, it may influence their presence indirectly.

How does a shadow work?
