EXPLORING PREHISTORY ~ Carissa Noblet EXPLORING PREHISTORY ~ Carissa Noblet A few years ago, I was planning to pull my son out of public school to homeschool and was spending hours and hours research curriculum. My son was really into dinosaurs and asking all about evolution, prehistoric animals, how the earth began, etc. So, I decided to look for a secular Prehistory curriculum for our first year of homeschooling. I wanted something that was comprehensive and explored the whole prehistoric timeline in an amount of detail appropriate for my then 1st grader. There are a few unit studies that are fabulous but there was not just one curriculum or resource that covered everything I wanted. What I did find was a ton of books, movies, online resources, and hands-on activities scattered about. After hours of research and pages of resource lists, I decided to take this research and use it to create my own curriculum. We had so much fun with the “curriculum”, and it helped create some of our best homeschool memories to date. Instead of setting up a daily outline for you, I decided to just divide the resources into Units and Lesson. Each lesson could take you anywhere from 2-5 days to complete. We completed this over the course of a year. It could take a year or less, depending on how many resources you decide to use and how many times a week you do history. Over the course of a year or so, I gathered many resources and books. You do NOT need to purchase all the books or movies that I have listed. I have marked the required resources below. Links to resources are provided when needed! **Important Notes: — Emily Cook’s Build Your Library: Prehistory Unit Study (PUS) was vital to the creation of this curriculum. Her unit study is a requirement for this curriculum and can be found here: Build Your Library- Prehistory Unit Study If you have older children, she also has another unit study that would be a great addition as well: Build Your Library- Darwin & Evolution Unit Study — The Usborne Encyclopedia of World History is the spine for this curriculum. Many of the online resources come from the Internet links suggested in this encyclopedia. Required Books: The Usborne Encyclopedia of World History (UEWH) Dictionary Dinosaur Encyclopedia (some options below) Children’s Dinosaur Encyclopedia DK Eyewitness Dinosaur Encyclopedia Prehistorica Dinosaurs: The Definitive Pop-up DK Smithsonian Dinosaur! Life Story Archaeology for Kids Maroo of the Winter Caves The Secret Cave: Discovering Lascaux Creatures Yesterday and Today Optional Books: ~ We have and like all these books but you do not NEED them all. Pick and choose the ones that you think your children will like best. ~ ** - Highly recommended Fossils Tell of Long Ago Archaeologists Dig for Clues Volcanoes! (easy reader) Evolution: How We and all Living Things Came to Be **Charlie and Kiwi Galapagos George **Annabelle & Aiden: The Story of Life **Grandmother Fish: A Child’s First Book of Evolution BANG! How We Came to Be **When Fish Got Feet, Sharks Got Teeth, and Bugs Began to Swarm **When Bugs Were Big, Plants Were Strange, and Tetrapods Stalked the Earth **When Dinos Dawned, Mammals Got Munched, & Pterosaurs Took Flight The Magic School Bus: In the Time of the Dinosaurs (A Nonfiction Companion) The Magic School Bus present Dinosaurs Good Question! Why Did T. Rex Have Short Arms? and other questions about Dinosaurs **The Best Book of Early People You Wouldn’t Want to be a Mammoth Hunter The First Dog Prehistoric Art **Prehistoric Actual Size Other Required Resources: Build Your Library- Prehistory Unit Study Worksheets, activities, or other resources from this unit study will be highlighted in grey with accompanying page numbers throughout this curriculum. Timeline: Having a timeline poster that can be easily referenced was very helpful for my children. Here are the 2 timelines we have and we love them both! Eras of Life: Geological Time Scale Geological Time and the History of Life Internet Access Online Resources & Media notes: - There are no required online resources or media resources though they will be useful in your research for the Timeline and Field Guide. I do recommend that you check out the links and pick a few online resources and videos/movies for each lesson. Many can be found online or on YouTube. Others can be found on Netflix or Amazon. - I suggest that you look ahead at the options for “Online Resources” and “Media” for each lesson so you can decide which resources would best suit your child(ren). Worksheets: You can find worksheets that I created at the end of this curriculum. The others are found in Build Your Library: Prehistory Unit Study or online (links are provided). I have provided links to a variety of coloring pages. Use as many or as few as you would like. My kids enjoyed coloring these pages while I read to them. This is a great way to keep hands busy and minds focused! A Final Note: There are a LOT of resources listed in this curriculum. Feel free to use them all, we did! Or just pick and choose the ones that look fitting for your homeschool kids! If you have any questions, leave me a comment below and I will do my best to help you out! Unit 1: What is Prehistory?

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Ginter, M. 2018. Symmoriiform sharks from the Pennsylvanian of Nebraska. Acta Geologica Polonica, 68 (3), 391–401. Warszawa. The Indian Cave Sandstone (Upper Pennsylvanian, Gzhelian) from the area of Peru, Nebraska, USA, has yielded numerous isolated chondrichthyan remains and among them teeth and dermal denticles of the Symmoriiformes Zangerl, 1981. Two tooth-based taxa were identified: a falcatid Denaea saltsmani Ginter and Hansen, 2010, and a new species of Stethacanthus Newberry, 1889, S. concavus sp. nov. In addition, there occur a few long, monocuspid tooth-like denticles, similar to those observed in Cobelodus Zangerl, 1973, probably represent- ing the head cover or the spine-brush complex. A review of the available information on the fossil record of Symmoriiformes has revealed that the group existed from the Late Devonian (Famennian) till the end of the Middle Permian (Capitanian). Key words: Symmoriiformes; Microfossils; Carboniferous; Indian Cave Sandstone; USA Midcontinent. INTRODUCTION size and shape is concerned [compare the thick me- dian cusp, almost a centimetre long, in Stethacanthus The Symmoriiformes (Symmoriida sensu Zan- neilsoni (Traquair, 1898), and the minute, 0.5 mm gerl 1981) are a group of Palaeozoic cladodont sharks wide, multicuspid, comb-like tooth of Denaea wangi sharing several common characters: relatively short Wang, Jin and Wang, 2004; Ginter et al. 2010, figs skulls, large eyes, terminal mouth, epicercal but ex- 58A–C and 61, respectively].

  • Chondrichthyan Fauna of the Frasnian–Famennian Boundary Beds in Poland
    Chondrichthyan fauna of the Frasnian–Famennian boundary beds in Poland MICHAŁ GINTER Michał Ginter. 2002. Chondrichthyan fauna of the Frasnian–Famennian boundary beds in Poland. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 47 (2): 329–338. New chondrichthyan microremains from several Frasnian–Famennian sections in the Holy Cross Mountains and Dębnik area (Southern Poland) are investigated and compared to previous data. The reaction of different groups of chondrichthyans to environmental changes during the Kellwasser Event is analysed. Following the extinction of phoebodont sharks of Phoebodus bifurcatus group before the end of the Frasnian, only two chondrichthyan species, viz. Protacrodus vetustus Jaekel, 1921 and Stethacanthus resistens sp. nov. (possibly closely related to “Cladodus” wildungensis Jaekel, 1921), occur in the upper part of Frasnian Palmatolepis linguiformis conodont Zone and persist into the Famennian. Global cooling is considered a possible cause of the extinction of Frasnian subtropical phoe− bodonts on Laurussian margins. Key words: Chondrichthyes, Kellwasser Event, Devonian, Poland. Michał Ginter [[email protected]], Instytut Geologii Podstawowej, Uniwersytet Warszawski, Żwirki i Wigury 93, PL−02−089 Warszawa, Poland.

The series follows the family’s story for more than a century, from Theodore’s birth in 1858 to Eleanor’s death in 1962. Over the course of those years, Theodore would become the 26th president of the United States, and his beloved niece, Eleanor, would marry his fifth cousin, Franklin, who became the 32nd president. Together, they redefined the relationship Americans had with their government and with each other, and redefined, as well, the role of the United States within the wider world.

    06_250317 part1-3.qxd 12/13/05 7:32 PM Page 15 Phylum Chordata Chordates are placed in the superphylum Deuterostomia. The possible rela- tionships of the chordates and deuterostomes to other metazoans are dis- cussed in Halanych (2004). He restricts the taxon of deuterostomes to the chordates and their proposed immediate sister group, a taxon comprising the hemichordates, echinoderms, and the wormlike Xenoturbella. The phylum Chordata has been used by most recent workers to encompass members of the subphyla Urochordata (tunicates or sea-squirts), Cephalochordata (lancelets), and Craniata (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals). The Cephalochordata and Craniata form a mono- phyletic group (e.g., Cameron et al., 2000; Halanych, 2004). Much disagree- ment exists concerning the interrelationships and classification of the Chordata, and the inclusion of the urochordates as sister to the cephalochor- dates and craniates is not as broadly held as the sister-group relationship of cephalochordates and craniates (Halanych, 2004). Many excitingCOPYRIGHTED fossil finds in recent years MATERIAL reveal what the first fishes may have looked like, and these finds push the fossil record of fishes back into the early Cambrian, far further back than previously known. There is still much difference of opinion on the phylogenetic position of these new Cambrian species, and many new discoveries and changes in early fish systematics may be expected over the next decade. As noted by Halanych (2004), D.-G. (D.) Shu and collaborators have discovered fossil ascidians (e.g., Cheungkongella), cephalochordate-like yunnanozoans (Haikouella and Yunnanozoon), and jaw- less craniates (Myllokunmingia, and its junior synonym Haikouichthys) over the 15 06_250317 part1-3.qxd 12/13/05 7:32 PM Page 16 16 Fishes of the World last few years that push the origins of these three major taxa at least into the Lower Cambrian (approximately 530–540 million years ago).

Sharks come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. Sharks have different kinds of teeth, feeding patterns, swimming styles, and behaviors that help them to survive in all different kinds of aquatic habitats! Can you label the different parts of a shark? second dorsal fin caudal (tail) fin pelvic fin gills anal fin pectoral fin nostril mouth eye Dorsal fin There are around 500 species of sharks in the world. Massachusetts coastal waters provide ideal habitat for several kinds of Atlantic Ocean sharks that visit our waters each season! Massachusetts HOW LONG HAVE SHARKS BEEN ON EARTH? Sharks have been on Earth since before the dinosaurs! Scientists learn about early sharks by studying fossils. Shark fossils can tell us a lot about what food the shark ate, what their habitat looked like, and how they are related to other sharks. The ancient sharks on this page are extinct. Acanthodes (ah-can-tho-deez), or “spiny shark,” was the first fish to have a cartilage skeleton! Cladoselache (clay-do-sel-ah-kee) had a body and tail shaped for swimming fast.

  • Mississippian Chondrichthyan Fishes from the Area of Krzeszowice, Southern Poland
    Mississippian chondrichthyan fishes from the area of Krzeszowice, southern Poland MICHAŁ GINTER and MICHAŁ ZŁOTNIK Ginter, M. and Złotnik, M. 2019. Mississippian chondrichthyan fishes from the area of Krzeszowice, southern Poland. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 64 (3): 549–564. Two new assemblages of Mississippian pelagic chondrichthyan microremains were recovered from the pelagic lime- stone of the area of Krzeszowice, NW of Kraków, Poland. The older assemblage represents the upper Tournaisian of Czatkowice Quarry and the younger one the upper Viséan of the Czernka stream valley at Czerna. The teeth of sym- moriiform Falcatidae are the major component of both collections. A comparison of the taxonomic composition of the assemblage from Czerna (with the falcatids and Thrinacodus as the major components) to the previously published materials from the Holy Cross Mountains (Poland), Muhua (southern China), and Grand Canyon (Northern Arizona, USA) revealed the closest similarity to the first of these, probably deposited in a deeper water environment, relatively far from submarine carbonate platforms. A short review of Mississippian falcatids shows that the late Viséan–Serpukhovian period was the time of the greatest diversity of this group. Key words: Chondrichthyes, Falcatidae, teeth, Carboniferous, Tournaisian, Viséan, Poland, Kraków Upland.
