WFS News: New Suggestions on Andean Plateau
August 25th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Seismologists investigating how Earth forms new continental crust have compiled more than 20 years of seismic data from a wide swath of South America’s Andean Plateau and determined that processes there have produced far more continental rock than previously believed. “When crust from an oceanic tectonic plate plunges […]

WFS News: New plate adds plot twist to ancient tectonic tale
August 20th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev A microplate discovered off the west coast of Ecuador adds another piece to Earth’s tectonic puzzle, according to Rice University scientists. Researchers led by Rice geophysicist Richard Gordon discovered the microplate, which they have named “Malpelo,” while analyzing the junction of three other plates in the eastern Pacific […]

August 19th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Researchers using Los Alamos’ unique neutron-imaging and high-energy X-ray capabilities have exposed the inner structures of the fossil skull of a 74-million-year-old tyrannosauroid dinosaur nicknamed the Bisti Beast in the highest-resolution scan of tyrannosaur skull ever done. The results add a new piece to the puzzle of how […]

August 14th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev A new analysis suggests that much of the carbon released from volcanic arcs, chains of volcanoes that arise along the tectonic plates of a subduction zone, comes from remobilizing limestone reservoirs in the Earth’s crust. Previous research suggested carbon was sourced from the mantle as a result of […]
WFS News: A new species of Tritylodontid found in Japan
August 13th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Teeth can reveal a lot, such as how the earliest mammals lived with their neighbors. Researchers have uncovered dozens of fossilized teeth in Kuwajima, Japan and identified this as a new species of tritylodontid, an animal family that links the evolution of mammals from reptiles. This finding suggests […]
