January 6th, 2018 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Scientists have long pondered how rocky bodies in the solar system — including our own Earth — got their metal cores. According to research conducted by The University of Texas at Austin, evidence points to the downwards percolation of molten metal toward the center of the planet through […]

January 4th, 2018 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev “The respiratory organs of vertebrates exhibit a tremendous degree of diversity, but the lung-air sac system of birds is truly unique among extant species,” says Dr. Markus Lambertz from the Institute for Zoology at the University of Bonn in Germany. Air sacs are bellows-like protrusions of the lung, […]

January 3rd, 2018 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Paleontologists at the University of Alberta have developed a new theory to explain why the ancient ancestors of dinosaurs stopped moving about on all fours and rose up on just their two hind legs. Bipedalism in dinosaurs was inherited from ancient and much smaller proto-dinosaurs. The trick to […]

December 29th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Como Bluff is a long ridge with views of sagebrush prairie for as far as the eye can see. It extends roughly east-west, and is about 10 miles long and 1 mile wide. Geologically, the ridge is one limb of an anticline, formed as a result of the […]

December 27th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev In a discovery which is eerily similar to the opening scenes of Jurassic Park, experts found the fossilised blood sucking parasite trapped in amber. The insect is actually a newly discovered species of tick, which has been called Deinocroton draculi or “Dracula’s terrible tick”, and would have fed […]

November 25th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev New research on oxygen and iron chemistry under the extreme conditions found deep inside Earth could explain a longstanding seismic mystery called ultralow velocity zones. Published in Nature, the findings could have far-reaching implications on our understanding of Earth’s geologic history, including life-altering events such as the Great […]

November 24th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev For the first time, a science experiment has measured Earth’s ability to absorb neutrinos — the smaller-than-an-atom particles that zoom throughout space and through us by the trillions every second at nearly the speed of light. The experiment was achieved with the IceCube detector, an array of 5,160 […]

November 23rd, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev We think of oceans as being stable and permanent. However, they move at about the same speed as your fingernails grow. Geoscientists at CEED, University of Oslo have found a novel way of mapping the Earth’s ancient oceans. The surface of the Earth is in constant motion. New […]
