Hi all. It occurred to me that most people who join sort of introduce
themselves. I am currently a full-time freelance illustrator. I have
illustrated many published projects, including 27 short picture books
and have written 7. I am also truly in awe of prehistoric creatures,
so it came natural to me to try to recreate them from my immagination.
With Cary's permission, I'll post my prehistoric bug related work here
in hopes that you might get a kick out of them. For some of them, I
had some guidance from Cary R. Easterday and some from Simon J. Braddy
but any mistakes or laughable detail is MY mistake, not theirs. So,
check the photo archives and tell me what you think!

Kind Regards,
-R

Hi all,

I consider the Yale Peabody Museum website to be the best on the web.
  The site includes photographs of museum specimens with locality
information.

The homepage of the image gallery is:

http://www.yale.edu/ypmip/

You can search fossil images by group, such as arthropods,
echinoderms, etc.

Enjoy!

Hi Cary, really cool web group. I sent you some questions (I hope I'm not
bugging you). It's just that I seem to be unable to post photos on the group
despite joining. There is no upload photo choice that pops up under any of the
windows. I'm pretty techy, is it right under my nose?

I wanted to share my bug illustrations. Definetly not as a solicitation. Only
because there are so many people there that simply like bugs and that is a rare
thing. My own rep said that bugs are generally a turn-off to the people who view
my portfolios. I don't agree, of course.

I posted two photographs--a trilobite and a eurypterid made out of

Hi Tim,

FossilBugz has a list of recommended schools to study fossil
non-marine arthropods (e.g., insects, arachnids, centipedes,
millipedes, ostracodes).  See FossilBugz > Links > Schools.  The
schools are listed by Country and/or State.

I am a paleontologist who studies the insect fossil record (i.e.,
paleoentomology).  If you have questions, please feel free to contact

ceastk

Offline

Hi all,

Last month, the Chicago Tribune reported on a simple and relatively
inexpensive photographic project that many of our students and
teachers may want to try as well.  For two years, Michael LaBarbera, a
University of Chicago professor, has spent about 30-60 minutes per day
photographing bugz along many Chicago city blocks.  He only looked for
bugz in plain sight.  He did not turn over any rocks.  He surprised
many experts by photographing and identifying 120 species, including
some very colorful and beautiful bugz!

For more information, please see the Chicago Tribune article at
FossilBugz (see Files > 2005.2.18 Tribune LaBarbara). Has anyone heard
of similar projects elsewhere?  If so, please let us know.

If YOU have your own photographs of bugz to share, please let us know too!

If you have questions or comments for Dr. LaBarbera, please visit his
homepage for contact information at:

Hi all,

Did you know that the continents have changed position over time?  250
million years ago, most of the continents were joined into a single
supercontinent called Pangea!  Changes in global paleogeography have
drastically affected the evolution of arthropods and other living
organisms (e.g., dinosaurs, plants).

There are several good websites for global paleogeography.  My
favorite is by Ron Blakey from Northern Arizona University at

http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~rcb7/RCB.html

His reconstructions are not just black and white continental outlines
but full color and visually stunning!

Please take a look and let me know what you think!  What are your
favorite science websites?

Anyone have any ideas about what made these tracks, or how:

http://mypage.iu.edu/~gsimonel/Temp/Arth_track1.jpg

To me it looks like some kind of arthropod. I'm particularly curious
about the tracks on the sides and just below the middle track. Does it
look like the same organism made them all?

This rock is from the Mansfield formation of south central Indiana. It
is early Pennsylvanian. The area was a tidally influenced brackish or
fresh water marsh. I'm finding quite a variety of trace fossils there.
Enough so that I'm re-thinking my assumption that high diversity trace
fossils indicate marine environments.

Hi all,

If you haven't heard the news, Dr. Paul Selden of Manchester
University recently re-examined the giant fossil Megarachne, which was
previously thought to be the world's largest spider of all time.  The
fossil had been locked away in a vault for the past 20 years, but Dr.
Selden was given special access last year.  Dr. Selden is a leading
world expert on fossil chelicerates, including spiders, scorpions,
mites, etc.

Based on Dr. Selden's examination of the Megarachne, he thinks it was
actually a very strange sea scorpion.  For more information, you can
see this story on the BBC website at:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/manchester/4268363.stm

I've also posted a photograph of Megarachne on the FossilBugz homepage.

Hi Glenn,

Those are excellent references to start your research on tetrapod
trace fossils.  I also recommend that you expand your search to the
Permian as well.  The terrestrial transition from Late Carboniferous
to Early Permian floras and faunas is gradual.  The major biotic
change occurs within the Late Carboniferous, at the Moscovian-
Kasimovian (Desmoinesian-Missourian) transition.

The following two references may also help in your research:

Mapes, G., and R. H. Mapes (eds.). 1988. Regional Geology and
Paleontology of Upper Paleozoic Hamilton Quarry Area in Southeastern
Kansas.  Kansas Geological Survey Guidebook Series, 6.

Zidek, J. (ed.). 1992.  Geology and paleontology of the Kinney Brick
Quarry, Late Pennsylvanian, central New Mexico.  New Mexico Bureau
of Mines and Mineral Resources Bulletin, 138.

More later!

Cary,
      I forgot to address you offer for reference suggestions. Right
now I'm reading articles by Archer and Maples, Buatois and Mangano,
and Lucas, et al. I also have a copy of the volume of Hantzschel's
Treatise that deals with trace fossils. I'd certainly welcome other
suggestions.

Regards,
Glenn

Hi Cary,
      I am a graduate student. I am currently researching some tetrapod
tracks found in early Pennsylvanian era siltstones in southern
Indiana. The rocks were probably formed near but not at the shoreline.
The area looks like it was fluvial-esturine, but judging by the trace
fossils I'm guessing it was fresh or brakcish water, so it may have
been an area between the salinity boundary and the tidal boundary.
      At one time I thought about publishing the article about the
end-Permian extinction, but never pursued it because it was so
speculative. The research I'm doing now will be more disciplined, and
I do hope to publish it, but I'm just starting. It will probably be a
year or so before it is ready for publication.

Regards,
Glenn

Hi Glenn,

Welcome to FossilBugz!  Most people are still celebrating the
holidays now, but participation should pick up soon in the new year.

Thanks for the information on your research interests.  I encourage
all FossilBugz members to do this!

I have worked with Late Carboniferous body and trace fossils, so I
am familiar with much literature for that time interval.
Unfortunately, ALL of my resources are currently unavailable.  I am
in the middle of a move from Seattle to Chicago.  Once I am settled
again, I could participate in any discussions more fully.

Also, what is your status at Indiana University--undergraduate,
graduate, faculty, staff?  I checked out your webpage and noticed
that you had many unpublished works.  Very good.  Do you plan on
publishing or presenting your research anytime?  If so, then I would
be glad to show you additional resources for that purpose!

Happy Holidays!

Best Regards,
Cary R. Easterday

Hi all,
      I just joined this group. I am conducting research on some early
Pennsylvanian (late Carboniferous) trace fossils. I would like to hear
from anyone else with an interest/expertise in trace fossils. I would
also like to hear about any resourses available for identifying
different trace fossils. I look forward to hearing the discussions in
this group.
