She provided all of the love, strength, patience, and encouragement I needed to get this started and to see it through to completion. She also provided me with the incentive to make this investment of time and energy in the pursuit of my dream to become a scientist and teacher. That incentive comes with a variety of names - Sylvan, Joanna, Quinn. This effort is dedicated to them also. Additionally, I would like to recognize the people who planted the first seeds of a dream that has come to fruition - my parents, Joseph and Joan. Support (emotional, and financial!) came to my rescue also from my other parents—Dot O’Sullivan, Jim Jaffe and Leslie Sewell, Bill and Lois Grigsby, and Jerry Sewell. To all of these people, this work is dedicated, with love. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank Dr. Bruce J. MacFadden for suggesting that I take a look at an interesting little fossil horse, for always having fresh ideas when mine were dry, and for keeping me moving ever forward. I thank also Drs. S. David Webb and Riehard C. Hulbert Jr. for completing the Triple Threat of Florida Museum vertebrate paleontology. In each his own way, these three men are an inspiration for their professionalism and their scholarly devotion to Florida paleontology. -

Objections Sustained! (2001)
Objections Sustained! (2001) Kyle J. Gerkin Introduction (2001) At a recent family gathering the issue of my atheism was raised, though not for the first time, and I professed that I was as staunch an unbeliever as ever. Afterwards, an aunt of mine (who has recently become an evangelical Christian) pulled me aside and handed me a book. The book was, of course, Lee Strobel's The Case For Faith . Apparently it is being hailed by evangelicals as a great "witnessing tool," especially for spiritual skeptics. I hadn't read the Christian apologists in depth for a couple of years, so I was interested to take a stroll down memory lane. Needless to say, they're still plugging away. I felt compelled to inform my aunt just why I don't buy into the Christian position or their apologetics. The next thing I knew I was hammering away at a page- by-page review of the book, and sending the chapters to her via email as I completed them. Here I have presented the critique in its entirety. Naturally, I have done a bit of editing so that it is more tailored for publication. However, if the review is personal or direct at times, please bear in mind its email roots. Strobel has decided that there are eight major objections to Christianity which act as stumbling blocks on the path to spirituality. Strobel has decided to pose these objections to eight prominent Christian apologists and let them make "the case for faith." The meat of the book consists of eight chapters, each one essentially an interview with a particular apologist dealing with one of Strobel's "Big Eight" objections. -

(Chiroptera: Natalidae) from the Early Miocene of Florida, with Comments on Natalid Phylogeny
Journal of Mammalogy, 84(2):729±752, 2003 A NEW BAT (CHIROPTERA: NATALIDAE) FROM THE EARLY MIOCENE OF FLORIDA, WITH COMMENTS ON NATALID PHYLOGENY GARY S. MORGAN* AND NICHOLAS J. CZAPLEWSKI New Mexico Museum of Natural History, 1801 Mountain Road NW, Albuquerque, NM 87104, USA (GSM) Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jmammal/article/84/2/729/2373805 by guest on 29 September 2021 Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK 73072, USA (NJC) We describe a new extinct genus and species of bat belonging to the endemic Neotropical family Natalidae (Chiroptera) from the Thomas Farm Local Fauna in northern peninsular Florida of early Miocene age (18±19 million years old). The natalid sample from Thomas Farm consists of 32 fossils, including a maxillary fragment, periotics, partial dentaries, isolated teeth, humeri, and radii. A proximal radius of an indeterminate natalid is reported from the I-75 Local Fauna of early Oligocene age (about 30 million years old), also from northern Florida. These fossils from paleokarst deposits in Florida represent the 1st Tertiary records of the Natalidae. Other extinct Tertiary genera previously referred to the Natalidae, including Ageina, Chadronycteris, Chamtwaria, Honrovits, and Stehlinia, may belong to the superfamily Nataloidea but do not ®t within our restricted de®nition of this family. Eight derived characters of the Natalidae sensu stricto are discussed, 5 of which are present in the new Miocene genus. Intrafamilial phylogenetic analysis by parsimony of the Natal- idae suggests that the 3 living subgenera, Natalus (including N. major, N. stramineus, and N. tumidirostris), Chilonatalus (including C. -
Mosaic Mine Hunt!!!
FOSSIL CLUB OF LEE COUNTY AUGUST 2015 Letter from the President Well, fellow fossilnerds, here we are!! Hot, sticky, rainy summer and no place to fossil hunt! The summer doldrums are here! Our rivers and creeks are over our heads and unless you're a diver and going to Venice, you better have a land site if you want to fossil hunt. So, I guess this is as good a time as any to take a vacation, which lots of you guys are doing. Last month we had a rather low attendance at the meeting, since so many folks are not around. Those faithful members who attended the July meeting were able to enjoy themselves digging through lots of fossil matrix gravel, and finding small fossils. Michael Gessel was kind enough to provide the sieved, washed gravel to us, before he returned to his summer place in New York. And, we thank Michael a whole lot for his kindness and generosity. There is not much happening right now in the local fossil scene. However, a couple of members went to the FOSSIL Project workshop in Gainesville to study digital fossil photography and 3d printing. An article is inside this newsletter. Mosaic has awarded us a date to hunt their phosphate mine, October 10. Please come to the meeting to sign up to go. Since it is off season, we should not have to do a lottery to pick spots, but I suggest to attend a meeting and sign up while there is still space available. In-person signup will take precedence over call-ins.
