  • Dinosaur Census Reveals Abundant Tyrannosaurus and Rare Ontogenetic Stages in the Upper Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation (Maastrichtian), Montana, USA
    Dinosaur Census Reveals Abundant Tyrannosaurus and Rare Ontogenetic Stages in the Upper Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation (Maastrichtian), Montana, USA John R. Horner1*, Mark B. Goodwin2, Nathan Myhrvold3 1 Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana, United States of America, 2 Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley, California, United States of America, 3 Intellectual Ventures, Bellevue, Washington, United States of America Abstract Background: A dinosaur census recorded during the Hell Creek Project (1999–2009) incorporates multiple lines of evidence from geography, taphohistory, stratigraphy, phylogeny and ontogeny to investigate the relative abundance of large dinosaurs preserved in the Upper Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation of northeastern Montana, USA. Overall, the dinosaur skeletal assemblages in the Hell Creek Formation (excluding lag-influenced records) consist primarily of subadult or small adult size individuals. Small juveniles and large adults are both extremely rare, whereas subadult individuals are relatively common. We propose that mature individuals of at least some dinosaur taxa either lived in a separate geographic locale analogous to younger individuals inhabiting an upland environment where sedimentation rates were relatively less, or these taxa experienced high mortality before reaching terminal size where late stage and often extreme cranial morphology is expressed. Methodology/Principal Findings: Tyrannosaurus skeletons are as abundant as Edmontosaurus, an herbivore, in the upper Hell Creek Formation and nearly twice as common in the lower third of the formation. Smaller, predatory dinosaurs (e.g., Troodon and dromaeosaurids) are primarily represented by teeth found in microvertebrate localities and their skeletons or identifiable lag specimens were conspicuously absent. This relative abundance suggests Tyrannosaurus was not a typical predator and likely benefited from much wider food choice opportunities than exclusively live prey and/or specific taxa.

  • What Is the Paleontology Option in Earth Sciences? the Paleontology Option Offers Students a General Geology Degree with an Emphasis in Paleontology
    What is the Paleontology Option in Earth Sciences? The Paleontology Option offers students a general geology degree with an emphasis in paleontology. Over 95% of all species that have ever existed are now extinct and biological diversity in past was far greater than today. The Paleontology Option, therefore, examines biological and geological processes that influence the diversification and extinction of a wide range of organisms, from microbes to plants and animals. This multi-disciplinary study investigates the history of life recorded in the rock record, the structure of past ecosystems, and patterns of evolution. What courses would I take in the Paleontology curriculum? Geology and paleontology incorporate a wide variety of analytical methods in the study of the Earth and ancient life. Consequently, lower division courses in the Paleontology Option introduce students to the fundamental principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology. Courses in physical geology and geography provide an overview of the Earth’s physical processes and their spatial distribution. Proper analysis of fossils comes only through understanding their geologic context. Upper division courses in mineralogy and petrology provide the analytical tools for interpreting the rock record. Structural geology, geomorphology, and sedimentology further highlight processes such as plate tectonics, mountain building, erosion, and sediment deposition. Historical geology, vertebrate and invertebrate paleontology introduce students to the major fossil groups and their morphology, evolution and extinction. Additional courses cover vertebrate anatomy, macroevolution, and dinosaur paleontology. Classes in taphonomy, field paleontology, and laboratory techniques emphasize analytical methods, while the six-week geology field course provides experience and practical training in field geology In addition, statistics and Earth Sciences writing and seminar classes are designed to further enhance students’ critical reading, writing, and analytical skills.

    MONTANA UNIVERSITY SYSTEM MINUTES Montana Board of Regents City College at MSU Billings Great Room – Health Sciences Building September 17-18, 2014 Wednesday, September 17, 2014 • Meeting convened at 8:00 AM. Roll call indicated a quorum present. Regents present: Chair Paul Tuss, Regents Major Robinson, Jeff Krauss, Fran Albrecht, Martha Sheehy, Bill Johnstone and Student Regent Mariah Williams. Ex Officio members present: Commissioner of Higher Education, Clayton Christian; Superintendent of Public Instruction, Denise Juneau - represented by Mr. Steve York and Governor Steve Bullock - represented by Dr. Shannon O’Brien. Chair Tuss thanked the host campus for holding the meeting. He provided an update on the Missoula College building and the ground breaking that took place this summer. He noted the updates taking place at MSU-B related to the launching of a capital campaign in Billings to raise the private match to a state appropriation for the project. He announced the launching of the PBF first academic year. A portion of the board’s allocation of general funds to the campuses this year was derived by each campus’s performance in student retention and completion. This supports a critical component to our goals of the Complete College Montana initiative; a major drive of our state goal to increase the percentage of Montanans who hold a college credential from 40% to 60%.
