Fossil Equidae: A Monobaraminic, Stratomorphic Series, David P. Cavanaugh, Todd Charles Wood, Kurt P. Wise
Fossil Equidae: A Monobaraminic, Stratomorphic Series, David P. Cavanaugh, Todd Charles Wood, Kurt P. Wise
Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism
We performed a baraminological analysis on nineteen fossil equid species using a morphological dataset obtained from the published literature. From a baraminic distance correlation analysis, we found evidence that all nineteen species belong to a single monobaramin. The 3D ANOPA distribution revealed a linear trajectory of equid species with sixteen species in the main axis and three species in a side-branch. The order of species in the ANOPA trajectory closely corresponds to the order of stratigraphic appearance, indicating that the fossil equids form a true stratomorphic series. We interpret the strata as post-Flood, concluding that the equid fossil record evidences …
The Scanning Electron Microscopy/Replica Technique And Recent Applications To The Study Of Fossil Bone, Timothy G. Bromage
The Scanning Electron Microscopy/Replica Technique And Recent Applications To The Study Of Fossil Bone, Timothy G. Bromage
Scanning Microscopy
The SEM/replica technique employs high resolution replica materials in order to reflect microstructural details of specimens, such as fossil bones, which cannot be observed directly. The described technique is simple, provides excellent resolution, is maximally adaptable to field and laboratory settings, and is applicable to large and topographically complex bone surfaces. The advent of the technique has made it largely possible to address certain issues in anthropology and paleontology. These contributions have principally been concerned with taphonomy as the study of the bone damage process, and bone biology as it relates to bone growth remodeling processes characterizing the facial growth …

Iowa's Self-Trained Paleontologists, Wayne I. Anderson, William M. Furnish
Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science
Charles Wachsmuth (1829- 1896), merchant, Frank Springer (1848-1927), attorney, and Burnice Beane (1879- 1966), farmer, all made significant contributions in their studies of Iowa crinoids, although none of the three completed formal courses in geology or paleontology. Herbert Belanski was a young man, just starting to make major contributions to Iowa geology and paleontology, when he died in 1919. Belanski possessed only a high school degree, but he was recognized as an expert on Devonian paleontology. His collections from the Lime Creek and Shell Rock formations are noteworthy. At the time of his death, Belanski served as a curator in …
On The Antiquity Of Man, Roland Schmidt
On The Antiquity Of Man, Roland Schmidt
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
Man is now lord of the earth and of the beasts and flowers, but he took millions of years to achieve his dominion. Two events more than others made man capable of his exercise of power. 1) A slowly achieved adaptation of man himself increased his potentialities far beyond those of other animals. The first step was man's gradual assumption of the erect posture. This put him on his peculiarly successful evolutionary path. It freed his hands and opened the way for the development of the central nervous system which made man unique in his capabilities. 2) A late revolution …
