Something under the coversSchilling, Lucy Coyle January 1991 (has links)
"Something Under the Covers" is a factual report of the discovery of a prehistoric mammoth on a farm near Fairmount, Indiana, in the spring of 1904. It describes the circumstances of its excavation and subsequent purchase and shipment to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.The project required intensive research into the documents of the time and interviews with historians and paleontologists to ensure accuracy. Onsite observations and personal conversations were utilized to provide specific details to evoke the places and people involved in the piece.These are the techniques of "literary journalists" who manage to inform and engage their readers by embellishing factual information with the age-old devices of the storyteller. The creative project selects a historical event to demonstrate these techniques. If it is successful, the reader will be entertained and enlightened by "Something Under the Covers." / Department of Journalism

Ontogeny and cranial morphology of the basal carnivorous dinocephalian, anteosaurus magnificus from the tapinocephalus assembage zone of the South African KarooKruger, Ashley 21 July 2014 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2014. / Anteosaurs (Therapsida: Dinocephalia: Anteosauria) were the dominant terrestrial predators during the late Middle Permian period and became extinct at the close of the Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone. Only two genera of anteosaurs, Australosyodon and Anteosaurus, are recognised from the Karoo rocks of South Africa. A newly discovered small anteosaurid skull from the Abrahamskraal Formation is fully described. Because of its relatively large orbits, the unfused nature of its sutures, and the lack of replacement teeth in the dental alveoli, the specimen is considered to be a juvenile Anteosaurus magnificus. A full computer-aided 3-D reconstruction of the skull enabled cranial measurements to be taken for an allometric analysis which included twenty-three measurements and eleven specimens. Positive allometry was found for four of the measurements suggesting fast growing in the temporal region, and a significant difference in the development of the postorbital bar and suborbital bar between juveniles and adults. Phylogenetic research shows that the Russian anteosaurids to be forerunners to Anteosaurus, and because the juvenile Anteosaurus (BP/1/7074) manifests many features of both Syodon and Titanophoneus, it is suggested that ontogenetic growth of Anteosaurus follows Haeckel’s Law.

Cave usage and the implications of multiple taphonomic agents on a faunal assemblageBountalis, Alexandra Clare 01 February 2013 (has links)
The means in which fossil accumulations in the caves of southern Africa
have formed is of great importance. One method of accumulation is via the
collecting behaviours of a variety of mammalian species. The core of said
behaviour is in the use of caves by these species. This project was
designed to give insight to the way that animals in the Cradle of
Humankind, South Africa are using caves today. The objective of this
research is to give a new understanding to the amount that caves are used
by various taxa in South African cave systems, with particular regard to
taphonomic agents and potential taphonomic agents. This study was
accomplished over a 20-month period by setting up motion sensor
cameras outside of cave entrances at the Malapa Nature Reserve. Results
have shown that animals use caves at high frequencies, crucial to
recognize when examining fossil accumulations.
