Prehistoric Animals

I'm unable to display photos, but you can easily search for images of mammoths online through search engines or websites like Google Images or Wikimedia Commons. Just enter "mammoth" in the search bar to see various pictures of these magnificent creatures.

literally translated "Middle Lizard"

Lived in the Mesozoic Ear (Age of the Reptiles)

It was a kind of dinosaur.

Was one of the first kind of marine reptiles, and had many adaptions to aquatic lifstyles.

Think: an elegant, dinosaur-like, really big, Crocodile!

Super volcanoes. A super volcano could emit so much smoke and ashes into the atmosphere, that an ice age could occur because of the limited sun light. This cloud of ashes could cover vast areas of the earth and could take a long time to dissolve.

A comet. A comet could cause similar effects as super volcanoes.

A third possible cause of mass extinction is when the ice-age ended and there were massive floods. This also caused extreme climate change.

The snowball effect. Where the earth freezes and kills almost all life on earth.

The first mammoth fossils were found in Europe, particularly in locations such as France, Germany, and the Netherlands during the 17th century. These discoveries sparked scientific curiosity and research into prehistoric animals.

The Tertiary spans the time from 65.5 million to 2.6 million years ago. During this time, many edible mammals and birds existed that a human could hunt. Early on, plant based foods would have been limited to a few seeds, very few fruits, and maybe some types of leaves. Examples would include gingkoes and cycads (in some places early on), which have seeds that are edible if carefully treated, horsetails, and potentially fruit or seeds from palm trees. By 2.6 million years ago there were probably as many edible fruits and vegetables as there are today.

During the late Cenozoic era, which began around 66 million years ago, mammals became dominant on Earth. This era saw the evolution and diversification of mammals into various forms and sizes, including early primates, whales, and elephants. Additionally, birds also thrived during this time period.

am guessing depending on what college has offer you to do lectures in there schools? maybe like 65,000 a year to 150,000 depending how devoted you are to the study and the more you know about these creatures and there development threw moder time like know

The presence of fossil coral, sponges, shellfish, and trilobites in the Grand Canyon area indicates that the region was once covered by a warm, shallow sea. These marine fossils suggest that the climate was much different in the past, likely warmer and more humid, supporting a diverse marine ecosystem.

DNA molecules contain the assembly instructions for every living creature. Scientists compare DNA from ancient and present creatures to identify genetic similarities among species. The genetic similarities among species is the main evidence of evolution theory.

During the Jurassic period, the atmosphere contained higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), with estimates suggesting levels around 2-3 times higher than today. Other chemicals present in the air during this time period would likely include gases like oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), and trace amounts of other gases. However, specific details about the exact composition of the air during the Jurassic period are limited and subject to ongoing research and study.

Trilobites varied in size, with some species being as small as a few millimeters and others growing up to 70 centimeters in length. The average size of a trilobite was around 5-10 centimeters in length.

Algae provide 70% to 80% of the oxygen in the atmosphere. Without algae, land organisms would slowly suffocate. Ocean animals would also starve and suffocate. All the dead, rotting organisms would release massive amounts of greenhouse gases, heating up the climate and wiping out lots of plant species. Few, if any, complex, aerobic organisms other than plants would survive. Plants might not even survive, in which case Earth would become a world with only anaerobic, single called organisms. A slightly luckier scenario would be that surviving plants would colonize the ocean before everything was destroyed, and fill the niches that algae left open. It is unlikely they could do that fast enough, though.

During the prehistoric era, Connecticut was home to various species of dinosaurs, including Coelophysis, Anchisaurus, and Dilophosaurus. Fossil remains of these creatures have been found in various locations throughout the state.

Microorganisms, such as bacteria and algae, have the most abundant fossil evidence due to their vast numbers and widespread distribution throughout Earth's history. Fossilized microbial mats and stromatolites, for example, provide valuable insights into early life on Earth.

Turtle doves do form long-term pair bonds, but they are not always "for life." They typically mate with the same partner for multiple breeding seasons, displaying strong fidelity to their mate. However, if a partner dies or is unavailable, they may choose a new mate.

Nope.

From the preserved dung of Columbian mammoths found in a Utah cave, a mammoth's diet consisted primarily of grasses, sedges, and rushes. Just 5% included saltbush wood and fruits, cactus fragments, sagebrush wood, water birch, and blue spruce. So, though primarily a grazer, the Columbian mammoth did a bit of browsing as well.

A brachiopod is a marine invertebrate that has a hard shell enclosing two valves, similar to bivalve mollusks like clams. They are filter feeders that live in ocean environments and have been around for millions of years, with a fossil record dating back to the early Cambrian period.

A trilobite is an extinct marine arthropod that existed over 250 million years ago. They had a hard exoskeleton with distinct segmented bodies, often found fossilized in marine sediments. Trilobites were diverse in size and shape, with some species being quite small while others grew to over two feet in length.

It's a fossil that existed only in a specific geological time and thus can date the depositional layer in wich it is. The expression is also used in Archaeology for artifacts that existed only in a determined age and can indicate de (cultural) chronology of the site/layer.

compsognathus is the smallest dinosaur and is the size of a chicken, but palaeontologists have just discovered 'micropachycephalosaurus' which might be even smaller and has the longest name of any dinosaur so far!

Humans evolved from primates. Primates evolved from an earlier mammal, and all other mammals around today evolved from the same mammal. This makes us evolutionary cousins to all other mammals.

This mammal evolved from a reptile. That reptile descended from the first reptile, which also gave rise to all other reptiles and to birds. Hence, we are cousins with all reptiles and birds.

Reptiles evolved from an amphibian, and that amphibian evolved from the first amphibian, which gave rise to all other amphibians.

Amphibians evolved from fish.

Fish evolved from more primitive, invertebrate animals.

The earliest animal evolved from a eukaryotic organism, and that eukaryotic organism shared a common ancestor with fungi.

That common ancestor evolved from earlier eukaryotes, and these shared a common ancestor with algae. Plants evolved from algae, so this makes us very distant cousins with plants.

Even before that, eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes (either bacteria or archaea), and all prokaryotes trace back to one species that appeared more than 3.5 billion years ago.

Hence, every living thing descended from the first prokaryote. That is how humans are related to all living things.

Tracks and burrows can end up in the rock and fossil record through a process called fossilization, where sediment fills in the impressions left by the tracks or burrows and hardens into rock over time. This process preserves the shape and structure of the tracks or burrows, allowing scientists to study them and learn more about ancient life and environments.

archetextury sorry i dont know how to spell it

Polar Bears or Kodiak Brown Bears, both are around the same size. I would agree and disagree because the big difference is that the Kodiak is an omnivore where the Polar bear is a carnivore. World's largest land carnivore ever, was Spinosaur.

New evidence says that spinosaurus spent much of its time in the water. Although Jurassic Park's third installment showed this creature defeating a T Rex, in reality, spinosaurus would not be a threat to the tyrannoaurs or allosaurs that shared its environment, because its teeth were shaped to grab and hold fish, unlike the other carnosaurs.
