... and then round and round again in an irregular spiral towards its present position. This polar migration has not yet quite come to an end, for the north pole still wobbles about in an irregular spiral within a circle of a diameter of some 60 feet. At this point we might mention one curious geological puzzle the problem of how the mammoths became frozen up in northern Siberia. In the Siberian tundra, in ancient fossil' ice or in frozen superficial layers of silt and sand, are found well-preserved bodies of mammoths, those hairy relatives of the elephants with long, boldly curved tusks. They are found in all kinds of positions, mostly, however, cowering, and ...
... in their country, as they have invented a fabulous account of their destruction, alleging that they were all killed by the Great Spirit, to prevent them from extirpating the human race. It is quite obvious that this fable has been invented subsequently to the discovery of the bones; just as tjie inhabitants of Siberia have contrived one respecting the mammoth, whose bones have been found in that country, alleging that it still lives under ground like the mole: and just as the ancients had their fables about the graves of giants, who were thought to have been buried wherever the bones of elephants happened to be dug up. From all these considerations, it may be safely concluded ...

... far broader than the actual range (relative survival ability) of a species. The changed climate probably remained well within the environmental tolerance range of most threatened species, even without any genetic adjustments; yet they diminished or perished nevertheless. More efficient competitors then replaced the large herds of Great Plains herbivores, the camel, the horse, the mammoth and the bison (in Pleistocene times all larger than current forms- mammoth excepted). Furthermore, certain cold-blooded vertebrates and invertebrates reveal size decreases comparable to those of associated warm-blooded animals, despite the fact that pokilothermic (cold-blooded) organisms generally manifest larger sizes in areas of warmer climate.16 Warming and drying climate as a producer of ...
55. Earth has Flipped Over in Space Many Times [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... British scientist. These polar reversals, which take as little time as one day to happen, explain many geological and archaeological mysteries that puzzle scientists. According to physicist Peter Warlow in the Journal of Physics (A , 10 November 1978), polar reversals- also called pole shifts or axis shifts- explain ice ages and animal extinctions. Mammoths, for example, have been found frozen intact in the Arctic, perfectly preserved. One in Siberia was standing upright with undigested summer vegetation still in its mouth and stomach. Yet today the treeless Arctic could not support the vast herds of grazing mammoths and other animals whose bones have been found there by the hundreds of thousands. How ...

... conclusion, when temperatures rose higher than they had been for the previous 100,000 years. Taken as a whole, the Late Pleistocene extinctions were on a much smaller scale than those of the big five, but large land animals were profoundly affected. In North America, 33 genera (three quarters of the total, including all the mammoths, mastodons, horses, tapirs and camels) disappeared between 12,000 and 10,000 years ago, whilst in South America over the same period, 46 genera of large land animals became extinct. The extinctions in the Old World were more modest, but several species of large animals disappeared completely from Africa at the end of ...

... of doing the work on a scale commensurate with the effects we see in Siberia."121 These extinct forms are found farther inland across Siberia with the shells of marine molluscs, some containing the flesh adhering to the shells and also with the decapitated heads of great fishes. 122 The marine shells in the same strata as that of the mammoth are not confined to Siberia but "a long way south of the White Sea . . . the Lower Somme." 123 Speaking of the similarity of conditions in North America, Howorth adds: "The extinction, I feel assured the more I examine the facts, was due not to normal causes, but to exceedingly abnormal ones ...

... circumpolar ring deep inside the North American and Eurasian continents, while some sediment would also flow with the counterflow back to the Arctic Ocean and adjacent lands. Between these lightest sediments and the arctic-basin sediments, should also be found buried trees by the millions and in many cases buried forests, along with the remains of various animals, such as mammoths. In addition, the flood waters and ice caps pushed by them would have scoured the land over which the ice slid to move immense numbers of boulders of all sizes and soil also distributed with a circumpolar orientation. The flood waters would also transport numerous large boulders. If the oceans flowed from the equator toward the poles, one ...

... a small child but he went to school near Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire and then at St.John's College, Cambridge. Derek initially studied law (his father's choice) but switched to the natural sciences, gaining an MA in 1939. At Cambridge, he developed an intense interest in glacial geology and the vexed problem of permanently refrigerated carcasses of mammoths and coeval animals in Arctic Siberia and Alaska. At Cambridge Derek met his wife Rosemary. He was articled to a solicitor but in World War II he joined the army, first as a captain training new recruits, then on searchlight battery units in north Wales. After a spell in Belgium, he moved to Earith, near Huntingdon ...
