... about 100 miles from Sydney, Australia. Jellyfish theory wobbled New Scientist 4.2 .95, p. 16 The Ediacarian fauna have long been a reference for the evolution of early animal life. Found in sandstone deposits throughout the world they were described as jellyfish and millions of years older then the first hard bodied animals. Now a palaeontologist has declared they are simply lichens; this does solve the problem as to how soft bodied jellyfish could have left much of a fossil impression. Pterosaurs didn't need launch pads New Scientist 18.2 .95, p. 18 Because of their weak flight muscles and small legs, pterosaurs have always been imagined as gliders, launching themselves ...

... to 10,000 times the normal rate and the events happen several times a century as Earth passes through a particularly active meteor stream EVOLUTION Chinese puzzle Earthwatch Magazine July/August 1995, p. 7 Dinosaur nest sites in southeast China, when compared to fossil sites in North America supposed to be contemporaneous, provide a couple of problems for palaeontologists. The dinosaurs appear to still exist 2 Myrs after they disappeared elsewhere, yet immediately above them are the remains of large mammals far more advanced than expected for that time. Perhaps a dating rethink is required. Life's a gas Scientific American April 1995, p. 17 Biologists were surprised years ago to find rich assemblages of animals living ...

... the Jomon were dispersed and pottery was introduced into the Americas in one direction, and the Near and Middle East in the other, via China. This is of course an idea that is quite contrary to orthodox thinking on such matters – but regions with favourable climate presumably had the edge. The Ice Age theory was advanced by a Swiss palaeontologist, Louis Agassiz in the 19th century. His study of Alpine glaciers led him to think they were once much bigger and subsequent investigations have proved this is correct. However, his theory appealed to Charles Lyell and he encouraged Agassiz to adapt his theory to fit his own scheme of small and gradual geologic change involving immense periods of time ...

... deposits in the area. Another Mexican find is of part of a human skull, which is claimed to be identical to Homo erectus skulls. This species disappeared 100,000-200,000 years ago and was never supposed to have reached the Americas. Doubtful Patterns (New Scientist, 23.7 .05, p. 17) Some palaeontologists claim to have found regular patterns of extinction in the marine fossil record, the unexplained extinctions occurring every 62 million years over the last 542 million years. We would have thought that it was extremely unlikely that dating methods could be reliable enough to be sure of this and doubts have now been cast on the idea by researchers who reckon ...

... given distinctly and insistently by the grand piece of sculpture is too strong. For among the chronoglyphs we find at least one animal which does not occur now anywhere near Tiahuanaco: The Flying Fish. And we find among them also at least one animal which has been extinct since Tertiary Times: the Toxodon.27 As regards the toxodon, palaeontologists say that no living man can have seen that peculiar, exclusively South American animal. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Tiahuanaco must have been quite familiar with this queer living fossil', which was already very much out of date' in the Tertiary Period. They seem to have regarded the placid grass-eater as a sacred animal, a relic of ...
