Dougal Dixon was born in Dumfries, Scotland, in 1947. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from the University of St. Andrews in 1970 and a Master of Science degree in 1972. He entered the publishing field in 1973 and became a freelancer in 1980. He is an internationally recognized authority in the field of dinosaurs and is one of the most popular science writers in the United Kingdom. His books include After Man: The zoology of the future, New Dinosaurs, Man After Man, and Time Exposure (aka Age of Dinosaurs). He has also worked as a special adviser on dinosaur programs and films in the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. He received the Award for Excellence in Educational Journalism by the Association of Educational Press of America in 1993, the Helen Roni Sattler Award in 1993, the 1994 Children's Book Council Award for Outstanding Book about Trade and the Times Educational Supplement Primary Schoolbook Award in 1996. This Who Was Who from the prehistoric world is a fascinating guide to exploring more than 500 extinct species in detail, from mighty dinosaurs and flying reptiles to armored fish, woolly mammoths, and our own prehistoric ancestors. World-renowned artists have worked closely with paleontologists, using rigorous scientific principles to illustrate each animal in full color to create a comprehensive catalogue of prehistoric vertebrate animals. Among the huge array of species described and illustrated are such extraordinary creatures as: - Spin sharks and rays of fish - Allosaurus and Tyrannosaurus - Brachiosauras and Diploducus In addition to anatomical descriptions of each There is also information about habitat, behaviour and lifestyle. In addition, there are sections on the education, discovery, exhumation and reconstruction of fossils; Geological timeline; and the nature and history of evolution. Collected by a group of renowned paleontologists, this is the most accurate representation of the prehistoric world available. This article has a few problems.

  • Attachment J Assessment of Existing Paleontologic Data Along with Field Survey Results for the Jonah Field
    Attachment J Assessment of Existing Paleontologic Data Along with Field Survey Results for the Jonah Field June 12, 2007 ABSTRACT This is compilation of a technical analysis of existing paleontological data and a limited, selective paleontological field survey of the geologic bedrock formations that will be impacted on Federal lands by construction associated with energy development in the Jonah Field, Sublette County, Wyoming. The field survey was done on approximately 20% of the field, primarily where good bedrock was exposed or where there were existing, debris piles from recent construction. Some potentially rich areas were inaccessible due to biological restrictions. Heavily vegetated areas were not examined. All locality data are compiled in the separate confidential appendix D. Uinta Paleontological Associates Inc. was contracted to do this work through EnCana Oil & Gas Inc. In addition BP and Ultra Resources are partners in this project as they also have holdings in the Jonah Field. For this project, we reviewed a variety of geologic maps for the area (approximately 47 sections); none of maps have a scale better than 1:100,000. The Wyoming 1:500,000 geology map (Love and Christiansen, 1985) reveals two Eocene geologic formations with four members mapped within or near the Jonah Field (Wasatch – Alkali Creek and Main Body; Green River – Laney and Wilkins Peak members). In addition, Winterfeld’s 1997 paleontology report for the proposed Jonah Field II Project was reviewed carefully. After considerable review of the literature and museum data, it became obvious that the portion of the mapped Alkali Creek Member in the Jonah Field is probably misinterpreted.

  • Diversity of Hypsodont Teeth in Mammalian Dentitions – Construction and Classification
    Palaeontographica, Abt. A: Palaeozoology – Stratigraphy Article Vol. 294, Issues 1–3: 63–94 Stuttgart, July 2011 Diversity of hypsodont teeth in mammalian dentitions – construction and classification by Wighart v. Koenigswald with 9 text-figures and 3 tables This paper is dedicated with great respect to Prof. em. Dr. Adolf Seilacher of Tübingen and Yale. Dolf successfully inspired many students with his understanding of ‘Constructional Morphology.’ He opened many eyes, mine included, to the trade-offs of history, function, and construction that constrain morphology. Zusammenfassung Hypsodontie, so wie der Begriff hier gebraucht wird, beschreibt Zähne, deren Krone parallel zur Wa chstumsrichtung verlängert ist. Diese Zahnform kann in allen Zahnpositionen auftreten. Die Hypodontie wird als die heterochrone Verlängerung bestimmter ontogenetischer Phasen während der Zahnbildung auf Kosten der anderen Phasen interpretiert. Mit drei Kriterien lässt sich die Viel- falt hypsodonter Zähne unterscheiden: zum einen geht es darum, welche Phase (oder Phasen) in der Ontogenie verlängert sind, zum anderen um den Grad der Hypsodontie (zunehmende Kronenhöhe bis zur Euhypsodontie) und drittens um die Art der Abkauung (ein ausbalancierter Abrieb, bei dem Nachwachsen und Abrieb im Gleichgewicht stehen, oder ein freies Größenwachstum). Die Un- terteilung der Ontogenie in vier Phasen (I =Zahnspitzen; II =Seitenwände, III =Dentinoberfläche (Zahnhals) und IV =differen- zierte Wurzeln) ist zwar künstlich, ermöglicht aber, die Diversität hypsodonter Zähne in sechs Kategorien zu gliedern. 1. Vielspitzen- Hypsodontie (verlängerte Phase I); 2. Spitzen-Hypsodontie (verschmolzene Phasen I und II); 3. Seitenwand-Hypsodontie (verlänger- te Phase II); 4. Schmelzband-Hypsodontie (Phasen II und III bilden den Zahn gleichzeitig); 5. Partielle Hypsodontie (Phasen II, III und IV sind gleichzeitig aktiv) und 6.

Southern Nicola Arc Project (SNAP): Preliminary results. In: Geological Fieldwork 2013, British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines, British Columbia Geological Survey Paper 2014-1, pp. 29-57. Abstract Geological fi eld studies in 2013 took advantage of new access and exposures from extensive clear-cut timber harvesting between Princeton and Tulameen. Revision mapping and laboratory investigation reveal new facets of the prolifi cally mineralized Nicola arc. 40Ar/39Ar cooling and U-Pb crystallization ages show that volcanism, long considered restricted to the Late Triassic, extends into the Early Jurassic. Volcanism changes near the Triassic-Jurassic boundary from feldspar-pyroxene ± olivine-phyric, to hornblende as an accessory or even principal phenocryst phase, perhaps indicating a change to more hydrated magma sources. Felsic volcanic rocks interpreted as part of the Nicola arc occur north of Princeton and near Tulameen, where a bimodal submarine succession contains previously unreported, possible exhalite horizons with copper mineralization. A northerly trending high-strain zone can be traced intermittently for ~ 20 km. It bisects the study area, with strain focused in calcareous strata.

ABSTRACT Taphonomy of fluvially deposited microvertebrates and systematic paleontology of the Pinnacles buttes in the northwest Great Divide Basin is examined. The Pinnacles buttes contain an early Eocene mammal assemblage of over 900 cataloged specimens from several prolific University of Michigan localities. The diverse assemblage is represented by a minimum of 56 species of 30 families. Sedimentology of the Main Body of the Wasatch formation in the basin margin of the Great Divide has not previously been examined. This thesis provides the first detailed descriptions and measurements of these specimens and explores the sedimentological and taphonomical environments in which this diverse assemblage accumulated in.
