WFS News: Half-Billion-Year-Old Fossil Brains Found in Ancient Predator (Kerygmachela kierkegaardi)
March 12th, 2018 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev With help from 15 fossils recently discovered in Greenland, scientists are now able to peer inside the brain of an animal that lived 520 million years ago. The extinct species, Kerygmachela kierkegaardi, swam in ocean waters during an evolutionary arms race called the Cambrian explosion. Flanked by 11 wrinkly flaps […]
WFS News: Tiny bubbles of oxygen got trapped 1.6 billion years ago
March 4th, 2018 Riffin @ WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Take a good look at this photo: It shows you 1.6 billion years old fossilized oxygen bubbles, created by tiny microbes in what was once a shallow sea somewhere on young Earth. The bubbles were photographed and analyzed by researchers studying early life on Earth. Microbes are […]
WFS News: First detailed 3-D images of a megathrust fault off Costa Rica
February 24th, 2018 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Geophysicists have obtained detailed three-dimensional images of a dangerous megathrust fault west of Costa Rica where two plates of the Earth’s crust collide. The images reveal features of the fault surface, including long grooves or corrugations, that may determine how the fault will slip in an earthquake. The […]
WFS News: Did surface life evolve on Mars?
February 15th, 2018 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev The planet Mars has long drawn interest from scientists and non-scientists as a possible place to search for evidence of life beyond Earth because the surface contains numerous familiar features such as dried river channels and dried lake beds that hint at a warmer, wetter, more earthlike climate […]

January 30th, 2018 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev When it comes to the final days of the dinosaurs, Africa is something of a blank page. Fossils found in Africa from the Late Cretaceous, the time period from 100 to 66 million years ago, are few and far between. That means that the course of dinosaur evolution […]
WFS News: The oldest Archaeopteryx : a new specimen from Bavaria
January 27th, 2018 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Researchers from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich report the first description of the geologically oldest fossil securely attributable to the genus Archaeopteryx, and provide a new diagnostic key for differentiating bird-like dinosaurs from their closest relatives. Some 150 million years ago in what is now Northern Bavaria, Archaeopteryx — […]
