After some years‚ he began work on a giant bronze horse‚ a monument to Sforza’s father. Leonardo’s design is grand‚ but the statue was never completed. Meanwhile‚ he was keeping scrupulous notebooks on a number of studies‚ including artistic drawings but also depictions of scientific subjects ranging from anatomy to hydraulics. Leonardo da Vinci’s embryological

As they searched more‚ Johanson and Gray found a jaw bone‚ thigh bones‚ ribs‚ and vertebrae. After about 3 weeks Gray and Johanson concluded that about 40 percent of the skeleton was recovered. This would prove to be a groundbreaking step for paleontology. For the record the correct identification for this discovery was AL-288-1 (Afar Locality #288)‚ but was later renamed "Lucy." It was named Lucy after the Beatles song "Lucy in the sky with diamonds"‚ which Johanson was listening to when he discovered

Paleontology Cnidaria and Nematocysts Cnidaria‚ also called Coelenterata‚ is a large phylum of marine organisms with around 10‚000 species. These species are corals‚ jellyfish‚ various plant-like organisms‚ as well as many others. These are all very different from each other‚ except for one similar attribute. They all have Nematocysts‚ which are stinging cells used by all Cnidaria for either defense or hunting. Nematocysts have a variety of functions to fulfill these tasks. The organism can use

Darwinism under the microscope one of the men‚ Mark Hartwig‚ Ph.D. states in the book that there is no convincing data supporting evolution and when Darwin wrote his book he knew there wasn’t evidence to support his theory but he believed once paleontology became more developed the “intermediate links” would be found. Still after many years this still hasn’t happened. James P. Gills‚ M.D. states: Based on detailed observation of living things‚ I had come to feel the intellectual tension between polar

What Did Dinosaurs Really Look Like? In a luminous top-floor workshop closed to the public at the American Museum of Natural History in New York‚ artists work with scientists to re-create scenes from lost or vanishing worlds. This is the birthing room for the museum’s elaborate dioramas‚ such as the brace of Northwest Indians who air-paddle their canoe through a fluorescent entrance hallway‚ or the 94-foot blue whale that swoops down from the duplex ceiling of the Ocean Life Hall‚ or the herd

Alamosaurus Most people think of dinosaurs as enormous‚ aggressive and extinct reptiles. That is largely true‚ however there are some misconceptions. They came in all sizes and shapes.

One of the gigantic dinosaurs that is very interesting to study more about it is called “Alamosaurus.” The meaning of Alamosaurus is "Ojo Alamo lizard." It was named after the Ojo Alamo sandstone formation

Evolution and classification Main article: Evolution of birds Archaeopteryx lithographica is often considered the oldest known bird The first classification of birds was developed by Francis Willughby and John Ray in their 1676 volume Ornithologiae.[5] Carolus Linnaeusmodified that work in 1758 to devise the taxonomic classification system currently in use.[6] Birds are categorised as the biological classAves in Linnaean taxonomy. Phylogenetic taxonomy places Aves in the dinosaur clade Theropoda
