    Selected Highlights of Women’s History United States & Connecticut 1773 to 2015 The Permanent Commission on the Status of Women omen have made many contributions, large and Wsmall, to the history of our state and our nation. Although their accomplishments are too often left un- recorded, women deserve to take their rightful place in the annals of achievement in politics, science and inven- Our tion, medicine, the armed forces, the arts, athletics, and h philanthropy. 40t While this is by no means a complete history, this book attempts to remedy the obscurity to which too many Year women have been relegated. It presents highlights of Connecticut women’s achievements since 1773, and in- cludes entries from notable moments in women’s history nationally. With this edition, as the PCSW celebrates the 40th anniversary of its founding in 1973, we invite you to explore the many ways women have shaped, and continue to shape, our state. Edited and designed by Christine Palm, Communications Director This project was originally created under the direction of Barbara Potopowitz with assistance from Christa Allard.

  • Tylosaurus and Pteranodon
    Tylosaurus and Pteranodon Estimate size and measure to check estimate. OBJECTIVES Students will: 1. identify the Tylosaurus and Pteranodon as the two state fossils of Kansas, and 2. estimate and check the wingspan of the Pteranodon or the length of the Tylosaurus. MATERIALS FROM THE TRUNK Tylosaurus model Pteranodon model Fossil sample OTHER MATERIALS Ruler or tape measure Masking tape, post-its or something similar to mark measurements on floor TEACHER PREPARATION Decide which of the two fossils you will measure: Pteranodon had a 25-foot wingspan or the Tylosaurus was 49 feet long. Identify a location with 50 linear feet of space that can be used to measure the wingspan of the Pteranodon or the length of the Tylosaurus. Consider using a hallway, playground, or gym. Once a location is identified, use a tape measure to mark the beginning and end of a 25-foot linear space and a 49-foot linear space. This is where the students will measure the two state fossils. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In 2014 the Kansas Legislature passed a bill making the Tylosaurus and the Pteranodon the state fossils of Kansas. Both of these reptiles lived at the time of dinosaurs, but neither are dinosaurs. Mike Everhart, adjunct curator of paleontology at the Sternberg Museum, geologist Alan Deitrich, and Steven Fisher, a 4-H geology project member, testified in support of the bill. Fossil hunters and natural history museums initiated the adoption of these state fossils. Kansas 4-H geology project members supported the bill. Pteranodon (teh-RAN-oh-don) – “Pteranodon, a great, winged pterosaur with a wingspread of more than 24 feet, which flew the skies of Kansas during the cretaceous period of the mesozoic era, is hereby designated as the official flying fossil of the state Kansas Symbols Traveling Resource Trunk KANSAS HISTORICAL SOCIETY www.kshs.org ©2014 61 of Kansas.” (House Bill 2595) The first Pteranodon specimens discovered in North America were found in western Kansas in 1870 by Othniel Charles Marsh.

  • Allometric Growth in the Skull of Tylosaurus Proriger (Squamata: Mosasauridae) and Its Taxonomic Implications Robert F
    Vertebrate Anatomy Morphology Palaeontology 6:75–90 75 ISSN 2292-1389 Allometric growth in the skull of Tylosaurus proriger (Squamata: Mosasauridae) and its taxonomic implications Robert F. Stewart1 and Jordan C. Mallon2,* 1Department of Earth Sciences, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1S 5B6; [email protected] 2Palaeobiology, Canadian Museum of Nature, PO Box 3223, Station D, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1P 6P4; [email protected] Abstract: Ontogeny—the growth and development of an organism—is among the more poorly understood aspects of the life history of mosasaurs, largely owing to a dearth of fossil material from young individuals. We describe the par- tial and nearly complete skulls of two subadult individuals of the mosasaurid Tylosaurus proriger from the upper Smoky Hills Chalk Member of the Niobrara Formation (upper Santonian) in Kansas. We include the more complete of the two specimens in an allometric analysis to better understand proportional changes in the skull through growth. Although our small sample size produces several instances of ‘soft isometry’, we recover the length of the edentulous rostrum as significantly negatively allometric, and quadrate height as significantly positively allometric. In light of our findings, we consider the question of whether T. kansasensis represents an immature ontogimorph of T. nepaeolicus, and find substan- tive evidence to reject this hypothesis. INTRODUCTION Seaway of North America (Williston 1898; Russell 1967; Everhart 2017). These are among the smallest skulls known Mosasauridae is a clade of carnivorous, mostly marine for the species, and they help to elucidate the allometric reptiles known from Upper Cretaceous deposits world- changes undergone by T. proriger through life.

  • A New Addition to the Cretaceous Seaway of ND
    A New Addition to the Cretaceous Seaway of North Dakota Clint A. Boyd In July of 2015, 17-year-old Deborah Shepherd from Green Cove Springs, Florida was visiting the Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area in northeastern North Dakota (Cavalier County) with her family. One member of Deborah’s family had previously attended the Pembina Gorge public fossil dig, and they had brought the family up to the roadside marker near the fossil site to see the area. The group was exploring the area and had dispersed a bit when they heard Deborah excitedly call out. She came running up to the group holding a fist-sized piece of white bone encased in a crust of black shale (fig. 1). Along one side of the bone four large teeth were present. Deborah had found part of the jaw of an ancient sea monster: a mosasaur. Mosasaurs were large aquatic reptiles that lived in the oceans during the Mesozoic while dinosaurs were ruling the land. Though they lived at the same time as the dinosaurs, they are actually more closely related to snakes and monitor lizards (like the Komodo dragon) than they are to dinosaurs. They swam using four large flippers and an extremely long, stiff tail, and had to return to the surface to breathe (fig. 2), just like modern whales and dolphins. They were the top predators of the seas during their time, with some species reaching lengths Figure 2. Reconstruction of a mosasaur.

  • Educator Guide
    Educator Guide BACKGROUND INFORMATION Welcome to the world of the late Cretaceous Period, filled with huge carnivorous marine reptiles with double-hinged jaws and teeth in the middle of their palates. Come see gigantic flesh-eating fish big enough to swallow an adult human being whole, flying reptiles with 3-foot skulls, and the biggest sea turtles to have ever lived. Many bizarre and gigantic forms of life populated the prehistoric waters of the late Cretaceous Period. The Midwest was actually underwater at one time. Kansas has only been above sea level for the last 65 million years. Before that, it was home to a variety of sea creatures, including a 45-foot long mosasaur, a sea turtle the size of a small truck, a giant carnivorous fish, and a long-necked plesiosaur. Although these prehistoric marine animals lived during the time of Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops, they are not dinosaurs. Dinosaurs lived on land and did not have wings for flying or fins for swimming. Many Cretaceous marine fossils have been found in Western Kansas. These fossils have been found in thousands of feet of marine sediments made up of shale, chalk, limestone, and sandstone. Common Questions When was the Cretaceous period? The Cretaceous Period extended from 144 to 65 million years ago. What is a mosasaur? A mosasaur is a large marine lizard with a long body and paddle-like limbs. Mosasaurs are not dinosaurs. The chief feature that distinguishes them from dinosaurs is the great flexibility and power of their jaws. Unlike most monstrous reptiles of the past, they still have living relatives, the giant monitor lizards such as the Komodo Dragons.

  • (Chelonioidea: Cheloniidae) from the Maastrichtian of the Harrana Fauna–Jordan
    Kaddumi, Gigantatypus salahi n.gen., n.sp., from Harrana www.PalArch.nl, vertebrate palaeontology, 3, 1, (2006) A new genus and species of gigantic marine turtles (Chelonioidea: Cheloniidae) from the Maastrichtian of the Harrana Fauna–Jordan H.F. Kaddumi Eternal River Museum of Natural History Amman–Jordan, P.O. Box 11395 [email protected] ISSN 1567–2158 7 figures Abstract Marine turtle fossils are extremely rare in the Muwaqqar Chalk Marl Formation of the Harrana Fauna in comparison to the relatively rich variety of other vertebrate fossils collected from this locality. This paper reports and describes the remains of an extinct marine turtle (Chelonioidea) which will be tentatively assigned to a new genus and species of marine turtles (Cheloniidae Bonaparte, 1835) Gigantatypus salahi n.gen., n.sp.. The new genus represented by a single well–preserved right humerus, reached remarkably large proportions equivalent to that of Archelon Wieland, 1896 and represents the first to be found from this deposit and from the Middle East. The specimen, which exhibits unique combinations of features is characterized by the following morphological features not found in other members of the Cheloniidae: massive species reaching over 12 feet in length; a more prominently enlarged lateral process that is situated more closely to the head; a ventrally situated capitellum; a highly laterally expanded distal margin. The presence of these features may warrant the placement of this new species in a new genus. The specimen also retains some morphological features found in members of advanced protostegids indicating close affinities with the family. Several bite marks on the ventral surface of the fossilized humerus indicate shark–scavenging activities of possibly Squalicorax spp.
