In our “Dinosaur Tracking” blog, we’ll delve into everyone’s favorite extinct
animal group and the lost worlds they so nobly inhabited. We’ll post about
paleontology news, dig into the latest controversies about how dinosaurs
lived (and died), revisit the great fossil discoveries and peer over the
shoulders of fossil hunters piecing together the grand scientific story of
the Dinosauria

Mexico City, Nov 13 (EFE) The rhinoceros fossils kept in a museum in western Mexico belonged to an ancient rhino species called Teleoceras hicksi that lived more than four million years ago, scientists have said.
The fossils were found in the Jalisco state in the 1960s and preserved at the Regional Paleontology Museum in the state [...]

Darwin had problems with the fossil record that he explained as a result of imperfections. Modern paleo has corrected some of that with the discovery of many intermediates. Jablonski is going to talk about the fossil record as a laboratory for testing evolutionary hypotheses. Marine bivalves are model systems with both modern forms and good fossil preservation for developing analysis techniques.
The fossil record gives access to raw rates of...
