    New from the author of acclaimed bestseller The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs ("A masterpiece of science writing" ?Washington Post) and ?one of the stars of modern paleontology? (National Geographic), a sweeping and revelatory history of mammals, illuminating the lost story of the extraordinary family tree that led to us We humans are the inheritors of a dynasty that has reigned over the planet for nearly 66 million years, through fiery cataclysm and ice ages: the mammals. Our lineage includes saber-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, armadillos the size of a car, cave bears three times the weight of a grizzly, clever scurriers that outlasted Tyrannosaurus rex, and even other types of humans, like Neanderthals. Indeed humankind and many of the beloved fellow mammals we share the planet with today?lions, whales, dogs?represent only the few survivors of a sprawling and astonishing family tree that has been pruned by time and mass extinctions. How did we get here?In his acclaimed bestseller The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs?hailed as ?the ultimate dinosaur biography? by Scientific American?American paleontologist Steve Brusatte enchanted readers with his definitive his - tory of the dinosaurs. Now, picking up the narrative in the ashes of the extinction event that doomed T-rex and its kind, Brusatte explores the remarkable story of the family of animals that inherited the Earth?mammals? and brilliantly reveals that their story is every bit as fascinating and complex as that of the dinosaurs.Beginning with the earliest days of our lineage some 325 million years ago, Brusatte charts how mammals survived the asteroid that claimed the dinosaurs and made the world their own, becoming the astonishingly diverse range of animals that dominate today's Earth. Brusatte also brings alive the lost worlds mammals inhabited through time, from ice ages to volcanic catastrophes. Entwined in this story is the detective work he and other scientists have done to piece together our understanding using fossil clues and cutting-edge technology.A sterling example of scientific storytelling by one of our finest young researchers, The Rise and Reign of the Mammals illustrates how this incredible history laid the foundation for today's world, for us, and our future.

    The body size of animals depends on "external physical" factors and "internal physiological" factors. The length of the animals depends on the following factors: 1- Strength of the circulatory system 2- Air pressure 3- Density of Blood 4- Earth surface gravity 5- Amount of hemoglobin affinity for oxygen 6- Body angle relative to the ground Why a today animal cannot be tall like a dinosaur 100 million years ago. Which of the above factors has changed during this time?

    Pemex's efforts to increase its reserves have promoted exploratory studies of different disciplines in the Continental Shelf of the Gulf of Mexico. The Tampico-Misantla Basin is one of Mexico's oil basins. Exploration in the Tampico-Misantla Basin began around 1860, with exploitation starting in 1904. To date, 5 869 million barrels of oil and 8 447 billion cubic feet of gas have been produced; it accounts for 21% of crude oil equivalent reserves in 2018, of which 67% is oil and 37% is gas (Encuentro Internacional de Energía, Mexico 2019). This is a systematic study of representative species of benthic foraminifera found in sediments from the type area of the Miocene Escolín Formation of the Tampico-Misantla Sedimentary Basin, Veracruz State, Mexico. The morphology of the species is redescribed and illustrated.

    This book, entitled Tracking Environmental Change Using Lake Sediments: Volume 6 ¿ Sedimentary DNA, provides an overview of the applications of sedimentary DNA-based approaches to paleolimnological studies. These approaches have shown considerable potential in providing information about the long-term changes of overall biodiversity in lakes and their watersheds in response to natural and anthropogenic changes, as well as tracking human migrations over the last thousands of years.Although the first studies investigating the preservation of these molecular proxies in sediments originate from the late-1990s, the number of scientific publications on this topic has increased greatly over the last five years. Alongside numerous ecological findings, several sedimentary DNA studies have been dedicated to understanding the reliability of this approach to reconstruct past ecosystem changes. Despite the major surge of interest, a comprehensive compilation of sedimentary DNA approaches and applications has yet to be attempted. The overall aim of this DPER volume is to fill this knowledge gap.

    Reconstructing Olduvai: The Behavior of Early Humans at David's Site provides the necessary information for future generations of archaeologists to peer into the lifestyle of early humans. Much of what is known about these hominins originates from the detailed excavations that Mary Leakey carried out at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. Since then, work at Olduvai has produced a wealth of new fossils, resulting in the discovery of David's Site, the biggest early Pleistocene site in the world. This will be an indispensable resource for students, academics, and researchers who share an interest in the evolution of early human behavior.Written by leaders of present-day excavations at Olduvai Gorge, this book is systematically divided into three parts to deliver a clear account of the research advancements at David's Site. Part I focuses on the presentation of the site and the description of its geological and palaeoecological reconstruction. Part II examines hominin feeding habits, including how they brought, processed, and consumed animals at the site. Part III explores hominin technologies, including reconstruction of the stone-tool activities carried out at the site.

    This book presents a detailed examination of the current state of knowledge in the field of paleoneurology in the main amniote groups (reptiles, birds and mammals), and advances  resulting from new non-invasive technologies. The study of fossil endocasts is an area of considerable current interest, and has long been central to our understanding of the evolution of the brain, development of senses and behavioral adaptations in diverse vertebrate groups and across vertebrates as a whole. Recent advances in non-invasive imaging have significantly increased the number of fossil taxa for which brain morphology is known, and it may now be possible to quantitatively analyze the relative size of brain regions. Providing a general overview of current perspectives and problems in evolutionary neuroanatomy, this book is intended for a wide range of readers, including undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and anyone with a special interest in paleoneurology. It is also useful as supplementary reading for courses in digital anatomy, vertebrate comparative anatomy, computed morphometrics, paleontology, neurology and radiology as well as evolution programs

    The Pyramid flora (15.8 m. years) is wholly dominated by broadleaved deciduous hardwoods of eastern alliance that indicate ample summer rain. Deciduous hardwoods are largely absent from slightly younger nearby floras (less than 15.8 m. years) that are dominated by mixed conifer and broadleaved evergreen forest species. The change is attributed to reduced summer rain that reflects global climatic change influenced by spreading antarctic ice.

    This handbook in two volumes offers a heretofore unavailable compilation of detailed information on foraminifera of the Caspian-Black Sea-Mediterranean Corridors ("e;CORRIDORS"e;), including their taxonomy, ecology, and applications in the study of Quaternary stratigraphy, paleogeographic reconstruction, and environmental stress. This subject is significant in light of the ongoing debates regarding the Flood Hypotheses because foraminifera can provide more information about many of the disputed questions. Foraminifera are highly reliable paleoenvironmental indicators, ubiquitous in marine environments, and taxonomically diverse, which gives them the potential for a wide range of biological responses to varied environmental factors. Their tests are readily preserved and can record evidence of environmental change through time, thus providing historical baseline data even in the absence of background studies. This book presents taxonomic descriptions for about 500 species and subspecies from the Black Sea, Sea of Azov, Caspian Sea, Aral Sea, Sea of Marmara, and the Eastern Mediterranean. This catalogue is supplemented by ecological remarks, stratigraphic distributions, paleogeography, and environmental/paleoenvironmental applications, including responses to environmental stress, e.g., river discharge, pollution by different contaminants, etc. The book will be useful to specialists in Quaternary history of the "e;CORRIDORS"e; as well as those in environmental monitoring and risk assessment. This handbook offers detailed taxonomic descriptions of foraminifera from the Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Sea of Azov, Aral Sea (in Volume 1) and Eastern Mediterranean and Sea of Marmara (in Volume 2).

    Impossible Monsters is the captivating story of the discovery of the dinosaurs and how it upended our understanding of the origins of the world.'An astonishing book about an extraordinary subject' PETER FRANKOPAN'As thrilling as it is sweeping' TOM HOLLAND'The most talented young historian around ... A triumph' SATHNAM SANGHERAIn 1811, a twelve-year-old girl uncovered some strange-looking bones in Britain's southern shoreline. They belonged to no known creature and were buried beneath a hundred feet of rock. Over the next two decades, as several more of these 'impossible monsters' emerged from the soil, the leading scientists of the day were forced to confront a profoundly disturbing possibility: the Bible, as a historical account of the Earth's origins, was wildly wrong.This is the dramatic story of the crisis that engulfed science and religion when we discovered the dinosaurs. It takes us into the lives and minds of the extraordinary men and women who made these heretical discoveries, those who resisted them, as well as the pioneering thinkers, Darwin most famous among them, who took great risks to construct a new account of the earth's and mankind's origins.Impossible Monsters is the riveting story of a group of people who not only thought impossible things but showed them to be true. In the process they overturned the literal reading of the Bible, liberated science from the authority of religion and ushered in the secular age.'Truly marvellous ... an intellectual thriller' RICHARD HOLMES'A stunning work ... of surprises and revelations' STEVE BRUSATTE

Parmi les invertébrés, plusieurs nouveaux groupes sont apparus et une radiation évolutive massive des groupes existants a eu lieu. La successionjurassique du djebel Maghara offre la meilleure et la plus complète succession de strates jurassiques en Égypte. Ledjebel Maghara est une structure en forme de dôme qui couvre une superficie d'environ 400 km2 et se trouve dans le nord du Sinaï, à 50 km au sud de la côte méditerranéenne .Il représente une grande variété d'environnements continentaux, deltaïques et marins, qui contiennent de riches fossiles d'invertébrés caractérisés surtout par des échinodermes, des brachiopodes, des bivalves, des gastéropodes et des coraux. Au Trias et au Jurassique précoce, un rifting important associé à la rupture de la Pangée s'est produit, tandis que l'étalement a commencé au Jurassique moyen. Du Jurassique inférieur au Jurassique supérieur, le Gondwana a dérivé vers le sud-ouest, mais la zone étudiée (et le Moyen-Orient) est restée en position équatoriale. Dans cet ouvrage, plus de 10 000 fossiles, échantillons de sédiments et données de terrain ont été utilisés pour délimiter les changements climatiques du Jurassique dans le djebel Maghara.

La successione giurassica di Gebel Maghara offre la migliore e più completa successione di strati giurassici in Egitto. Gebel Maghara è una struttura a forma di cupola che copre un'area di circa 400 km2 e si trova nel Sinai settentrionale, 50 km a sud della costa mediterranea. Rappresenta un'ampia varietà di ambienti continentali, deltaici e marini, che contengono un ricco patrimonio di fossili di invertebrati, caratterizzati soprattutto da echinodermi, brachiopodi, bivalvi, gasteropodi e coralli. Nel Triassico e nel primo Giurassico si verificò un esteso rifting associato alla disgregazione della Pangea , mentre la diffusione iniziò nel Giurassico medio. Dal primo al tardo Giurassico, il Gondwanaland si spostò verso sud-ovest, ma l'area di studio (e il Medio Oriente) rimasero in posizione equatoriale. In questo libro, più di 10.000 fossili, campioni di sedimenti e dati sul campo sono stati utilizzati per delineare i cambiamenti climatici del Giurassico nel Gebel Maghara.
