    Eunotosaurus have an unusually broad upper body made up of nine pairs of extremely widened ribs that overlap one another. The most front ribs were angled towards the back, while the farthest ribs from the front were angled towards the front. The cross section in the ribs are T-shaped, each having a wide, flat surface on top and a slim ridge running along the length on the opposite side. The surface of the dorsal side is convex, giving the Eunotosaurus its rounded shape. In most cases the ribs and the vertebrae are fused, but in some smaller specimens of the genus, the rib pairs are connected with the vertebrae but do not fuse with them.…

    Bones found in the archeological dig belonged to cattle, oxen, mule, and a bear (Hardesty). The larger bones showed signs of impact (fractures) and looked like they were sawed, indicating marrow extraction for consumption. The smaller pieces of bone were burnt and calcined (oxidized or reduced) due to low oxygen burning (which occurs at the bottom of a fire) (Hardesty). Larger bone fragments were submitted to a radioimmunoassay (a method to determine proteins in bones and then match them to a certain species (Lowenstein)).…

    Some cells are uncomplicated, but others are complex with internal structures called organelles. These cells can be put into two categories which are the prokaryotes and the eukaryotes, and they have many differences and similarities. The prokaryotes derive from prokaryotic cells whose fossils have been in existence for over 3.8 billion years, which mean they have learned to adjust to the earth’s environments more than any other life form. Prokaryotes are the bacteria and their close relatives, of which have few internal parts. The prokaryotes are a assorted body of fundamental one-celled organisms that are divided into two major groups: the Archaea and the Eubaceria.…

    In Neil Shubins’ “Your Inner Fish: A Journey Into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body”, he takes the audience on the journey of the discovery and history of how different organisms and adaptations have converged to form a relationship between fish and tetrapods. Shubins first relates the evolutionary fact that humans and other forms of “tetrapods’ major body systems have developed from fish and sharks” (20), through his time on the field as a paleontologist. He describes his multiple experiences of planning, preparing, excavating, and analyzing not only the fossils found by his team, but also where and when in the rock these artifacts were found. His research and expenditures led to discoveries of bones and fossils that he would…
