fossils

I was at the beach the other day and found some interesting patterns in the rocks. Is someone able to tell me if these are likely fossils of some description? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

The title says it all. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-38224564 It has feathers attached and everything :)

I recently saw at some CT web site that scientists had used 14C dating to determine the age of triceratops fossils at about 34,000 years. I've done a little carbon dating in university, and I understand that the upper limit age limit using this technique is about 50,000 years. I have a...

Discovered close to the Burgess Shale. Steven Jay Gould would have been very excited. http://globalnews.ca/news/1141642/new-bc-fossil-site-could-be-worlds-most-important/ "A new fossil site discovered in Kootenay National Park may be one of the world’s most important, according to...

...and has it named after her: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-21850080 Well done that girl!

Wow, this looks almost too clean. http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,791496,00.html Great pics:

Firstly, I guess this could fit into an of several topics, because it's conspiracy theory, scientific, paranormal, etc. I just wanted to share my pain. Tonight at 12am i got a call from my mother asking me to check my email and to PLEASE read the website she linked with an open mind. I opened...

I am wondering if we have the capability to artificially create the conditions necessary and to accelerate them to create artificial fossils. I think it would be awesome to have my skeleton fossilized and preserved forever if I was a wealthier man(centaur hybrid). I know they can create...

Hi all, I asked this question in the "why evolution is stupid" thread but of course didn't get an answer from the woos, but the question has stuck in my head ever since... So as in the thread title, and with a few initial provisions such as we didn't have domesticated dogs and say we knew...

I'm personally intrigued by the discovery of this fossil, which is supposedly so old that it gives scientists invaluable knowledge on our origins. Anyone else heard of it? http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/may/19/fossil-ida-missing-link

Apparently Charles Darwin predicted this fossil, and now it's been found. Canadian fossil find sheds new light on seal evolution

From Fark.com: 'WND claims that 95 million year old octopus fossil disproves evolution because "It looks just like a modern-day octopus".' Prepare to be dazzled by the logic... http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=92747

This was picked up on the West Coast of Newfoundland, Canada, at Port-Aux-Port Penninsula. It is a fossil of some sort, not an etching or drawing. It is about the size of a thumb.

Fossils of multi-cellular sponges 650 million years old have been found in Oman. http://www.voanews.com/english/2009-02-04-voa77.cfm?rss=middle%20east The radio news report I listened to had one of the scientists involved say this discovery vindicates one of Darwin's beliefs - that there...

Damn, two more gaps in the fossil record... this evolution thing just keeps getting more and more problems that it can't seem to solve.

This in in regards to the linked article and photo about the fossil found by miners and written about in the Chronicle Herald of Halifax. http://www.thechronicleherald.ca/Canada/1044856.html As someone who has collected fossils and minerals all his life and tries to keep up on current finds, I...

ABC News First stop: Houston, Texas. I wonder if the Houston Chronicle will have to print extra pages to handle all the evolution-is-a-lie letters to the editor.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/6577009.stm Coolest thing ever! I would love to see this. So cool, that I had to break my 666 post count to share it.

Hey all, I am seeking information to increase my knowledge further, further in the realms of fossils. I have google'd my queries but I pretty much came up with different sides of the story type of stuff... nothing really conclusive. The things I want to learn about are: How fossils are dated...

OK, so I have a question. Holding a Bachelors of Arts in Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology from a fairly liberal college in and living fairly conservative part of the US with a fairly conservative circle of friends, I find myself more than I like having to defend evolution as...

"Norwegian scientists have discovered a "treasure trove" of fossils belonging to giant sea reptiles that roamed the seas at the time of the dinosaurs. " http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5403570.stm Sounds like quite a find! Didn't see a post on this, sorry if it's a duplicate.

http://www.theregister.com/2006/09/18/evolution_in_kenya/ Oh these poor, uninformed religious types. There are a few comments by this bishop, and each one clearly indicates his poor understanding of, well, everything. "Bishop Boniface Adoyo, chairman of the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, says...

Kenyan Bishop Boniface Adoyo has called for fossil displays in museums to be removed from display, because they make people believe in evolution. Desperate or what? http://observer.guardian.co.uk/world/story/0,,1868904,00.html

Ok, Kent Hovind is a nut who promotes idiotic notions about Earth science. I have found many sources that thoroughly debunk a number of his theories and demonstrate him to be a prevaricator. But I haven't yet found anything to debunk his notion that science uses circular reasoning to date...

Well, this should come as no surprise. Looks like the missionaries that went about spreading the good news in Africa, did a nice job. It's the same tactics they are using here and spreading all over the World. First you feed them, then you indoctrinate them...

another thing to hit over the heads of creationists...... http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060412/sc_nm/science_humans_dc

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4879672.stm Yet more evidence for nutters to ignore! Hurrah!

From http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/03/15/unfeathered.dinosaur.ap/index.html it has some possibilities on why this find doesn't have feathers. In order: It is an interesting find, but it was hard to take away anything except: if you find something you believe should have feathers...

One of the arguments that creationists make is that there are no "transitional fossils". What about the feathered dinosaur fossils that have been discovered? Anyone know what the "there are no transitional fossils" crowd make of them? I am going to guess that they respond with a special...

A strange fossil creature from the early Cambrian Period is baffling scientists because it does not fit neatly into any existing animal groups. LINK TO BBC STORY But I think I know what it is..... RODS! LOL! Uh maybe I shouldn't suggest things like that, it'll just give them ideas...
