The Inquisitive BiologistNov 16

This week's #NewBooks at the library: second-hand copies of...
- Charles Lyell: The Years to 1841: The Revolution in Geology. Having reviewed Radical by Nature two years ago made me want to read up on other historical natural historians of this time period. There is no good recent book on the early geologist Charles Lyell. The standard is still the two books written by Leonard G. Wilson, which are the first two parts of an unfortunately unfinished trilogy. I obtained the second book some time ago, and now managed to buy the first part at a very decent price via eBay.
- The Feejee Mermaid and Other Essays in Natural and Unnatural History
- Biominerals and Fossils Through Time. Reviewing Fossilization made me want to understand more about the physical basis of fossilisation.

"They studied areas around the world with #sediments closest to the conditions of the #BurgessShale, particularly deposits with similar #clay compositions. Those sites date to 789 million years ago and older. But none of those sites yielded animal #fossils, implying that #animals had not evolved by that time."

Clues in the clay: Scientists narrow the search for the first animals

Using a particular type of sedimentary rocks as their guide, researchers begin to tackle the question of when animals first appeared on Earth.

We know that #ClimateChange will destroy hidden #archaeology . I find this report to be amazing. This preservation only happens in wet anaerobic conditions, and this is similar to #fossilisation stages. I find that #geoscience and archaeology often intermingle. Phone box size? Stone axe for hunting in after life? Maybe buried with smartphone to avoid accidents sooner and later?#BurkeandHare
