March 25th, 2020 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Radiocarbon dating, invented in the late 1940s and improved ever since to provide more precise measurements, is the standard method for determining the dates of artifacts in archaeology and other disciplines. “If it’s organic and old — up to 50,000 years — you date it by […]

WFS News: The Earth was a “water world” of submerged continents
March 4th, 2020 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev WFS News: And that could have major implications on the origin of life. “An early Earth without emergent continents may have resembled a ‘water world,’ providing an important environmental constraint on the origin and evolution of life on Earth as well as its possible existence elsewhere,” geologists Benjamin […]

March 2nd, 2020 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev A microscopic fossil discovered by Virginia Tech researchers may be key to understanding how modern plants evolved into their current form. At around 1 billion years old, the seaweed microfossil — a type of algae known as Proterocladus antiquus — is the oldest green seaweed known to man. The […]

February 18th, 2020 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society, Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Every year, particles eroding from the continents are transported to the oceans by the wind as dust and by rivers as sands and gravels. Once they get to the ocean, they mix with billions of tons of dead plankton shells, sink, and settle on the seafloor. There, […]

February 3rd, 2020 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Baby pterosaurs — flying reptiles that lived alongside dinosaurs — were probably able to spread their leathery wings and fly shortly after emerging from their eggs, scientists reported in a new study. Preserved eggs and embryos from Argentina and China suggested that pterosaur babies, or “flaplings,” according to the researchers, had skeletons […]
