Living things change with time. Classify similar-type fossils. Recognize that each kind of living organism, with its special needs, has adaptations to live in a habitat and share its environment with other living organisms to form communities.

The project was inspired by local history. Big Bone Lick State Park in Union is known for its fossils of mammoths and other prehistoric animals that frequented the salt licks at the site. Some 10,000 years ago, the salt and minerals at Big Bone Lick attracted woolly mammoths, the saber-toothed cat and the giant beaver. Some sank into the ground, where their bones were preserved. The mall play area will feature replicas of the mammoths and information about Big Bone Lick. The Cincinnati Zoo and the Cincinnati Museum Center also worked to create the educational area.

Mammoths in Siberia Woolly Mammoth. Artist: Caroll.L. Fenton. The discovery of frozen mammoth carcasses in the permafrost of Siberia has attracted an enormous amount of public interest in recent decades. Although remains have been excavated for over a century, the discovery of a complete baby mammoth in 1977 and its subsequent world tour led to a marked increase in research into these animals. Mammoths were a little smaller than modern elephants, with small ears and a thick coat of long black hair. They flourished in Siberia at the height of the last ice age when that region had low precipitation and consequently, was covered with steppe-like grasslands (rather than ice). With the end of the ice age, the climate changed. Increased precipitation (snow) turned the steppe into boggy tundra, and this, perhaps with some assistance from human hunters, resulted in the extinction of the mammoth about 11000 years ago.

Further information. How are fossils formed? Ammonoid fossil from the Lower Jurassic of England. Source: Museum Victoria. For about 3000 million years, life was present only in the oceans. The oldest fossils are therefore of marine creatures. When marine animals or plants died, their remains accumulated on the sea floor where they were buried by mud, sand or silt. Over very long periods, these sediments became sedimentary rock, and the animal or plant remains became encased in the rock. By 430 million years ago, animals and plants had colonised the land. When land animals or plants died, the soft parts usually decomposed or were eaten by scavengers. However, if the hard parts (bones, shells, wood) are quickly covered by water, sand, or even volcanic ash, they might be preserved. Teeth are the hardest parts of an animal and are most likely to be preserved. For more information go to Fossils and the Scientific Process Stages in the formation of a fossil.

31. Dino Land Paleontology Interviews: Larry Agenbroad If so, is it morally right? And, who will take responsibility to protect theserecreated prehistoric animals? How about mammoths and mastodons? http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Galaxy/8152/larryagenbroad.html

DINO LAND PALEONTOLOGY INTERVIEWS LARRY AGENBROAD The Jarkov Mammoth, the famed specimen Larry Agenbroad studied. Last October news agencies around the world were abuzz with the discovery of a nearly complete frozen mammoth carcass, found in the Siberian permafrost by a team of French, Dutch, and American scientists. The actual mammoth carcass was first discovered in 1997, when French explorer Bernard Buigues learned of the discovery of mammoth tusks by a group of local natives. Buigues explored the site they mentioned, and was astonished to find signs of a near complete mammoth carcass. Unfortunately, due to strange, odd, and drastic weather conditions, the excavation of this carcass had to be delayed for two years, until 1999, when Buigues and his team finally announced their discovery to the world. The discovery, nicknamed the Jarkov Mammoth, became an overnight hit, making the front page of several newspapers around the world and garnering spots in Time Magazine and on several American television programs. Much of the excitement was due to the thrilling possibility that the mammoth could be cloned, a somewhat outlandish, but media popular idea. The entire idea of cloning ancient animals extended back well before the first successful cloning of a living animal was performed. But, the notion gained much publicity after the 1993 release of Jurassic Park, the box office hit which starred cloned dinosaurs. Suddenly, this idea seemed more plausible to the public-but could science do it?

WHEN MAMMOTHS WALKED THE EARTH By Caroline Arnold Illustrations by Laurie Caple (Clarion Books, 2002) Print Imagine a time when enormous Columbian mammoths roamed the hills and flatlands where the city of Los Angeles is today. Far to the north, their relatives, the woolly mammoths, grazed at the edges of vast ice sheets. In caves in southern Europe, prehistoric people painted pictures of the huge, shaggy mammals. Growing to weights of ten tons and distinguished by enormous curling tusks, mammoths were the largest land animals of the Ice Age. Today, discoveries of mammoth fossilsfound in places ranging from tar pits and sinkholes to frozen tundra and the bottom of the seaare expanding our view into the lives of these fascinating giants. You can see photos of mammoth teeth and bones and learn more about these relatives of elephants in Caroline Arnold's book, Trapped in Tar (Clarion, 1985.) Learn more about the George C.

Scientists from Japan and Russia believe they can take the concept behind film Jurassic Park and make it a reality. A group of them will travel to Siberia this week to hunt out the carcasses of dead prehistoric animals that could be brought 'back to life'. They will take DNA from the animals, perfectly preserved in the freezing conditions, and transplant them into the living relatives of the animals, such as elephants and rhinos. The animals will hopefully then give birth to creatures that roamed the planet 20,000 years ago. 'Absolutely possible' Scientists aim to take the mammoths and other fearsome beasts back to Siberia where they will create a modern day prehistoric park. Sounds like science fiction? Well, scientists are confident woolly mammoths will be roaming the Siberian planes within two decades. "It probably sounds far-fetched, but it is absolutely possible to do this," said project co-ordinator Professor Akira Iritani.

The Dawn of Prehistoric Rock Art ©1998 by James Q. Jacobs The most ancient evidence of the production of art predates the generally accepted earliest dates for the appearance of modern humans. Cup marks and a meandering line were etched into a sandstone cave in India two or three hundred thousand years ago. Line markings on bone, teeth, ivory and bone of equal antiquity are known from the campsites of archaic humans. Sculpture, in the form of modified natural forms, has been dated to 250-300,000 years ago in the Near East. (Bednarik, 1998.) An early archaeologically discernible behavior that seems to lack practical purpose is the use of hematite or ochre, the red mineral pigment. This activity dates to several hundred thousand years ago in southern Africa. Although no rock paintings of such great antiquity are known, ochre is later evidenced as a rock art pigment. Australian rock art may be as old as human occupation of that continent, up to 60,000 years old and perhaps far older. Hundreds of Australian sites may predate the cave art of Europe (Bednarik). In Tanzania rock art sites date back about 50,000 years (Karoma). Painted and engraved images of animals on stone slabs have been excavated and dated to 28,000 years ago in Namibia (Feder and Park). The oldest known example of rock art in Europe is an arrangement of eighteen cup marks on a rock slab over a child's burial in a French cave. Radiocarbon dates for European paintings range back to more than 32,000 years (Gould). By this time art traditions are known to have existed in southern Africa, the Levant, eastern Europe, India and Australia (Bednarik). A California rock art site has been dated to about 20,000 years ago, based on analysis of mineral varnish covering a pictograph (Bower 96a).
