@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 […]

November 22nd, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev When Maria Shitova saw what looked like white poles jutting out of the sand at a beach in Russia, she thought they were part of a manmade fence. But instead of digging up city planning, her research team exhumed the nearly complete skeleton of a gargantuan sea cow […]

WFS News: Scientists determine source of world’s largest mud eruption
November 19th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev On May 29, 2006, mud started erupting from several sites on the Indonesian island of Java. Boiling mud, water, rocks and gas poured from newly-created vents in the ground, burying entire towns and compelling many Indonesians to flee. By September 2006, the largest eruption site reached a peak, […]
WFS News: Bryozoans: Fossil fills missing evolutionary link
November 18th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Lurking in oceans, rivers and lakes around the world are tiny, ancient animals known to few people. Bryozoans, tiny marine creatures that live in colonies, are “living fossils” — their lineage goes back to the time when multi-celled life was a newfangled concept. But until now, scientists were […]

November 16th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Antarctica wasn’t always a land of ice. Millions of years ago, when the continent was still part of a huge Southern Hemisphere landmass called Gondwana, trees flourished near the South Pole. Now, newfound, intricate fossils of some of these trees are revealing how the plants thrived — and […]

November 14th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev In 2009, the world’s largest dinosaur tracks were discovered in the French village of Plagne, in the Jura Mountains. Since then, a series of excavations at the site has uncovered other tracks, sprawling over more than 150 meters. They form the longest sauropod trackway ever to be found. […]
WFS News: Site of asteroid impact changed the history of life
November 12th, 2017 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev An asteroid, also known as the Chicxulub Impactor, hit Earth some 66 million years ago, causing a crater 180 km wide. The impact of the asteroid heated organic matter in rocks and ejected it into the atmosphere, forming soot in the stratosphere. Soot is a strong, light-absorbing aerosol […]
