    Society of Vertebrate Paleontology 7918 Jones Branch Drive, Suite 300 McLean, VA 22102 USA Phone: (301) 634-7024 Email: [email protected] Web: www.vertpaleo.org FEIN: 06-0906643 April 21, 2020 Subject: Fossils from conflict zones and reproducibility of fossil-based scientific data Dear Editors, We are writing you today to promote the awareness of a couple of troubling matters in our scientific discipline, paleontology, because we value your professional academic publication as an important ‘gatekeeper’ to set high ethical standards in our scientific field. We represent the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP: http://vertpaleo.org/), a non-profit international scientific organization with over 2,000 researchers, educators, students, and enthusiasts, to advance the science of vertebrate palaeontology and to support and encourage the discovery, preservation, and protection of vertebrate fossils, fossil sites, and their geological and paleontological contexts. The first troubling matter concerns situations surrounding fossils in and from conflict zones. One particularly alarming example is with the so-called ‘Burmese amber’ that contains exquisitely well-preserved fossils trapped in 100-million-year-old (Cretaceous) tree sap from Myanmar. They include insects and plants, as well as various vertebrates such as lizards, snakes, birds, and dinosaurs, which have provided a wealth of biological information about the ‘dinosaur-era’ terrestrial ecosystem. Yet, the scientific value of these specimens comes at a cost (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/11/science/amber-myanmar-paleontologists.html). Where Burmese amber is mined in hazardous conditions, smuggled out of the country, and sold as gemstones, the most disheartening issue is that the recent surge of exciting scientific discoveries, particularly involving vertebrate fossils, has in part fueled the commercial trading of amber.

DETTMANN 4 5 RIDING, J.B. & DETTMANN, M.E., The first Australian palynologist: Isabel Clifton 6 Cookson (1893–1973) and her scientific work. Alcheringa. 7 8 Isabel Clifton Cookson (1893–1973) of Melbourne, Australia, was one of that country’s 9 first professional woman scientists. She is remembered as one of the most eminent 10 palaeontologists of the twentieth century and had a distinguished research career of 58 11 years, authoring or co-authoring 93 scientific publications. Isabel worked with great 12 distinction on modern and fossil plants, and pioneered palynology in Australia. She was a 13 consumate taxonomist and described, or jointly described, a prodigious total of 110 14 genera, 557 species and 32 subspecific taxa of palynomorphs and plants. Cookson was a 15 trained biologist, and initially worked as a botanist during the 1920s. At the same time she 16 became interested in fossil plants and then, Mesozoic–Cenozoic terrestrial (1940s–1950s) 17 and aquatic (1950s–1970s) palynomorphs. Cookson’s research into the late Silurian–Early 18 Devonian plants of Australia and Europe, particularly the Baragwanathia flora, between 19 the 1920s and the 1940s was highly influential in the field of early plant evolution. The 20 fossil plant genus Cooksonia was named for Isabel in 1937 by her principal mentor in 21 palaeobotany, Professor William H. Lang. From the 1940s Cookson focussed on Cenozoic 1 22 floras and, with her students, elucidated floral affinities by comparative analyses of 23 micromorphology, anatomy and in situ pollen/spores between fossil and extant taxa.

  • La Brea and Beyond: the Paleontology of Asphalt-Preserved Biotas
    La Brea and Beyond: The Paleontology of Asphalt-Preserved Biotas Edited by John M. Harris Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Science Series 42 September 15, 2015 Cover Illustration: Pit 91 in 1915 An asphaltic bone mass in Pit 91 was discovered and exposed by the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science and Art in the summer of 1915. The Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History resumed excavation at this site in 1969. Retrieval of the “microfossils” from the asphaltic matrix has yielded a wealth of insect, mollusk, and plant remains, more than doubling the number of species recovered by earlier excavations. Today, the current excavation site is 900 square feet in extent, yielding fossils that range in age from about 15,000 to about 42,000 radiocarbon years.
