Y. 1949 COPYRIGHT 1945 BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY IMPORTANT NOTE TO VISITORS As THIS guide goes to press, the first of a number of changes in the halls of the Museum will be started. On November ist, 1948, the present Darwin Hall and the Hall of Forestry on the first floor will be closed to the public and work begun on the new halls of Forestry and Landscape which will occupy these areas. Selected specimens from the extensive shell col- lection in the balcony of the Hall of Ocean Life will be incorporated into the invertebrate exhibits from Darwin Hall which will occupy that balcony. The visitor will therefore find references in the fol- lowing pages to halls that no longer exist or that are temporarily closed to the public. Until such a time as the new exhibits are completed, it is felt that these descriptions should remain, since many of these ma- terials will be used in the new halls.

We address the problem of automatic crater detection and age estimation. From initially small numbers of recognized craters and dated craters, i.e., 7895 and 1411, respectively, we progressively identify new craters and estimate their ages with Chang’E data and stratigraphic information by transfer learning using deep neural networks. This results in the identification of 109,956 new craters, which is more than a dozen times greater than the initial number of recognized craters. The formation systems of 18,996 newly detected craters larger than 8 km are esti- mated. Here, a new lunar crater database for the mid- and low-latitude regions of the Moon is derived and distributed to the planetary community together with the related data analysis. 1 College of Earth Sciences, Jilin University, 130061 Changchun, China. 2 Key Laboratory of Lunar and Deep Space Exploration, National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 100101 Beijing, China. 3 Key Laboratory of Symbol Computation and Knowledge Engineering of Ministry of Education, College of Computer Science and Technology, Jilin University, 130012 Changchun, China. 4 Department of Information Engineering and Computer ✉ Science, University of Trento, I-38122 Trento, Italy.

    The triple origin of whales DAVID PETERS Independent Researcher 311 Collinsville Avenue, Collinsville, IL 62234, USA [email protected] 314-323-7776 July 13, 2018 RH: PETERS—TRIPLE ORIGIN OF WHALES Keywords: Cetacea, Mysticeti, Odontoceti, Phylogenetic analyis ABSTRACT—Workers presume the traditional whale clade, Cetacea, is monophyletic when they support a hypothesis of relationships for baleen whales (Mysticeti) rooted on stem members of the toothed whale clade (Odontoceti). Here a wider gamut phylogenetic analysis recovers Archaeoceti + Odontoceti far apart from Mysticeti and right whales apart from other mysticetes. The three whale clades had semi-aquatic ancestors with four limbs. The clade Odontoceti arises from a lineage that includes archaeocetids, pakicetids, tenrecs, elephant shrews and anagalids: all predators. The clade Mysticeti arises from a lineage that includes desmostylians, anthracobunids, cambaytheres, hippos and mesonychids: none predators. Right whales are derived from a sister to Desmostylus. Other mysticetes arise from a sister to the RBCM specimen attributed to Behemotops. Basal mysticetes include Caperea (for right whales) and Miocaperea (for all other mysticetes). Cetotheres are not related to aetiocetids. Whales and hippos are not related to artiodactyls. Rather the artiodactyl-type ankle found in basal archaeocetes is also found in the tenrec/odontocete clade. Former mesonychids, Sinonyx and Andrewsarchus, nest close to tenrecs. These are novel observations and hypotheses of mammal interrelationships based on morphology and a wide gamut taxon list that includes relevant taxa that prior studies ignored. Here some taxa are tested together for the first time, so they nest together for the first time. INTRODUCTION Marx and Fordyce (2015) reported the genesis of the baleen whale clade (Mysticeti) extended back to Zygorhiza, Physeter and other toothed whales (Archaeoceti + Odontoceti).

    Secondary Craters on Europa and Implications for Cratered Surfaces

Merline2 For several decades, most planetary researchers have regarded the craters were typically not spatially random, but instead appeared in impact crater populations on solid-surfaced planets and smaller clumps and clusters16 even at distances far (several hundred kilo- bodies as predominantly reflecting the direct (‘primary’) impacts metres) from the nearest large primary crater. This clustered spatial of asteroids and comets1. Estimates of the relative and absolute distribution contrasts with primary impacts, which are spatially ages of geological units on these objects have been based on this random.

Here we present an analysis of the comparatively distribution of Europa’s small craters enabled us to achieve what has sparse crater population on Jupiter’s icy moon Europa and suggest been previously difficult, namely unambiguous identification and that this assumption is incorrect for small craters. We find that quantification of the contribution of distant secondary craters to the ‘secondaries’ (craters formed by material ejected from large total crater SFD. This, in turn, allows us to re-examine the overall primary impact craters) comprise about 95 per cent of the small crater age-dating methodology. We discuss the specifics of the craters (diameters less than 1 km) on Europa. We therefore con- Europa data first. clude that large primary impacts into a solid surface (for example, We measured more than 17,000 craters in 87 low-compression, ice or rock) produce far more secondaries than previously low-sun, high-resolution Europa images (scales ,60 m pixel21), believed, implying that the small crater populations on the which cover nine regions totalling 0.2% of Europa’s surface (a much Moon, Mars and other large bodies must be dominated by larger percentage of Europa has been imaged at lower resolutions), secondaries.

  • History of Earth

    History of Earth

    History of Earth The history of Earth concerns the development of planet Earth from its formation to the present day.[1][2] Nearly all branches of natural science have contributed to understanding of the main events of Earth's past, characterized by constant geological change and biological evolution. The geological time scale (GTS), as defined by international convention,[3] depicts the large spans of time from the beginning of the Earth to the present, and its divisions chronicle some definitive events of Earth history. (In the graphic: Ga means "billion years ago"; Ma, "million years ago".) Earth formed around 4.54 billion years ago, approximately one-third the age of the universe, by accretion from the solar nebula.[4][5][6] Volcanic outgassing probably created the primordial atmosphere and then the ocean, but the early atmosphere contained almost no oxygen. Much of the Earth was molten because of frequent collisions with other bodies which led to extreme volcanism. While the Earth was in its earliest stage (Early Earth), a giant impact collision with a planet-sized body named Theia is thought to have formed the Moon. Over time, the Earth cooled, causing the formation of a solid crust, and allowing liquid water on the surface. The Hadean eon represents the time before a reliable (fossil) record of life; it began with the formation of the planet and ended 4.0 billion years ago. The following Archean and Proterozoic eons produced the beginnings of life on Earth and its earliest evolution. The succeeding eon is the Phanerozoic, divided into three eras: the Palaeozoic, an era of arthropods, fishes, and the first life on land; the Mesozoic, which spanned the rise, reign, and climactic extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs; and the Cenozoic, which saw the rise of mammals.

    Resolving the Relationships of Paleocene Placental Mammals

    Biol. Rev. (2015), pp. 000–000. 1 doi: 10.1111/brv.12242 Resolving the relationships of Paleocene placental mammals Thomas J. D. Halliday1,2,∗, Paul Upchurch1 and Anjali Goswami1,2 1Department of Earth Sciences, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, U.K. 2Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, U.K. ABSTRACT The ‘Age of Mammals’ began in the Paleocene epoch, the 10 million year interval immediately following the Cretaceous–Palaeogene mass extinction. The apparently rapid shift in mammalian ecomorphs from small, largely insectivorous forms to many small-to-large-bodied, diverse taxa has driven a hypothesis that the end-Cretaceous heralded an adaptive radiation in placental mammal evolution. However, the affinities of most Paleocene mammals have remained unresolved, despite significant advances in understanding the relationships of the extant orders, hindering efforts to reconstruct robustly the origin and early evolution of placental mammals. Here we present the largest cladistic analysis of Paleocene placentals to date, from a data matrix including 177 taxa (130 of which are Palaeogene) and 680 morphological characters. We improve the resolution of the relationships of several enigmatic Paleocene clades, including families of ‘condylarths’. Protungulatum is resolved as a stem eutherian, meaning that no crown-placental mammal unambiguously pre-dates the Cretaceous–Palaeogene boundary. Our results support an Atlantogenata–Boreoeutheria split at the root of crown Placentalia, the presence of phenacodontids as closest relatives of Perissodactyla, the validity of Euungulata, and the placement of Arctocyonidae close to Carnivora. Periptychidae and Pantodonta are resolved as sister taxa, Leptictida and Cimolestidae are found to be stem eutherians, and Hyopsodontidae is highly polyphyletic.

    Return to the Moon: A New Perspective RETURN TO THE MOON: A NEW PERSPECTIVE Sometimes history does repeat itself. Just as 40 years ago as the United States prepared to land the fi rst humans on the Moon, several nations are now beginning their own precursor robotic exploration of the Moon with an eye to the future. Japan and China have both launched advanced orbital mapping missions to the Moon in the past three months, with India and the United States to follow in 2008. Both Asian missions are successfully in orbit and conducting instrument checkouts and calibrations before full-scale mapping begins. They bring a wide variety of scientifi c investigations across a broad reach of the electromagnetic spectrum to bear on our nearest neighbor, hoping to unlock its secrets. At stake are knowledge of lunar resources, including whether ice exists at the poles, and a clearer understanding of the origins and earliest history of the Moon. The United States has a strong interest in returning to the Moon with astronauts, and the fl eet of orbiting robots, including Lunar Reconaissance Orbiter to launch next summer, will aid in guiding those explorers to the right location. To further aid those who are planning those future expeditions, several groups are digging into the old Apollo records, including planning charts, reports, and images. Many of these resources are now Lonline, including at the Lunar and Planetary Institute, available for all lunar afi cionados. The next decade promises to be an exciting one for lunar research. With the new missions underway, we feature in this issue several related reports on these new initiatives and the restoration of the historic records and archives.
