Book excerpt: Because almost every part of New Mexico is rich in fossils, collectors from all over the Land of Enchantment will want to own this useful book, the first authoritative and well-illustrated guide to the state's fossils. It provides a nontechnical introduction to the basic principles of studying and collecting fossils along with a guide to the kinds of fossils one is likely to find within the state. The author's advice on collecting fossils ranges from the minutely practical--how to carry your specimens home and prepare them--to the ethics of collecting. He defines and explains the nature of fossils and fossilization, the study of paleontology, and the kinds of rocks in which fossils are found. He explains the geologic time scale and the significance of fossils to understanding the history of life, and describes the main groups of vertebrate, invertebrate, and plant fossils and their classification. The longest section of the book is a guide to New Mexico fossils of each geologic period. For every period represented in the state's rocks, Kues provides a summary of important paleontologic events, a map showing the distribution of outcrops, and a general description of the types of fossils one is likely to find in strata of the period. More than 500 common and characteristic fossil genera are illustrated to facilitate identification of fossils observed or collected in rocks of each age.

Download or read book Dinosaurs and Other Reptiles from the Mesozoic of Mexico written by Héctor E. Rivera-Sylva and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This overview of dinosaur discoveries in Mexico synthesizes current information about the geography and environment of the region during the Mesozoic when it was the western margin of the ancient continent of Pangea. The book summarizes research on various groups, including turtles, lepidosauromorphs, plesiosaurs, crocodyliforms, pterosaurs, and last but not least, dinosaurs. In addition, chapters focus on trackways and other trace fossils and on K/P boundary (the Chicxulub crater, beneath the Gulf of Mexico, has been hypothesized as the site of the boloid impact that killed off the dinosaurs). Dinosaurs and Other Reptiles from the Mesozoic of Mexico is an up-to-date, informative volume on an area that has not been comprehensively described until now.

Download or read book Fossil Legends of the First Americans written by Adrienne Mayor and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The burnt-red badlands of Montana's Hell Creek are a vast graveyard of the Cretaceous dinosaurs that lived 68 million years ago. Those hills were, much later, also home to the Sioux, the Crows, and the Blackfeet, the first people to encounter the dinosaur fossils exposed by the elements. What did Native Americans make of these stone skeletons, and how did they explain the teeth and claws of gargantuan animals no one had seen alive? Did they speculate about their deaths? Did they collect fossils? Beginning in the East, with its Ice Age monsters, and ending in the West, where dinosaurs lived and died, this richly illustrated and elegantly written book examines the discoveries of enormous bones and uses of fossils for medicine, hunting magic, and spells. Well before Columbus, Native Americans observed the mysterious petrified remains of extinct creatures and sought to understand their transformation to stone. In perceptive creation stories, they visualized the remains of extinct mammoths, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and marine creatures as Monster Bears, Giant Lizards, Thunder Birds, and Water Monsters. Their insights, some so sophisticated that they anticipate modern scientific theories, were passed down in oral histories over many centuries. Drawing on historical sources, archaeology, traditional accounts, and extensive personal interviews, Adrienne Mayor takes us from Aztec and Inca fossil tales to the traditions of the Iroquois, Navajos, Apaches, Cheyennes, and Pawnees. Fossil Legends of the First Americans represents a major step forward in our understanding of how humans made sense of fossils before evolutionary theory developed.
