'Stunning' Ice Age lion cub found in Siberia, Russia is 28,000 years old, scientists say
Ice Age lion cub Sparta was discovered by a tusk hunter in Siberia in 2018

By Euronews •
Updated: 06/08/2021

In early autumn 2018, seven metres below ground in a frozen tunnel deep in the Siberian Arctic, local mammoth tusk hunter Pavel Efimov made a shocking discovery.

As per a long-established working relationship, he contacted researchers at the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Yakutsk. A team was duly dispatched to the site at Belaya Gora, on the bank of the Indigirka River.

What they found there was one of the most beautifully-preserved Ice Age animals ever found: a 28,000-year-old cave lion cub, curled up under the permafrost with its teeth, skin, claws and even whiskers still intact.

The cub, whom scientist Dr Valery Plotnikov and colleagues initially dubbed Spartak, was found just 15 metres away from another cave lion cub, Boris, that locals had discovered the previous year.

Ancient four-legged whale species found in Egypt

By Raffaella Ciccarelli • Producer
12:37pm Aug 27, 2021

In what used to be an ancient sea bed, palaeontologists have discovered the fossil of a four-legged whale.

The new species was discovered in rocks in the Fayum Depression in the Western Desert in Egypt; an area once covered by water.
The remains are about 43-million-year-old.

The new species, dubbed Phiomicetus anubis after the Egyptian god of death, was likely a top predator, researchers said after studying the fossil at Mansoura University Vertebrate Palaeontology Centre.

It was likely semi-aquatic and could move between land and the ocean, a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B concluded.

The species provides an important step in early whale evolution, scientists said.

Phiomicetus anubis was so fearsome it was named after the Egyptian god of death, Anubis.

"Our new paper documents a new ancient amphibious four-legged cetacean from Egypt, which elucidates a transitional phase in early whale evolution," Founder of Mansoura University Vertebrate Paleontology Centre Hesham Sallam wrote on Twitter.

The whale is believed to have been three-metres long with an estimated body mass of about 600kg.

Police Raid in Brazil Saves The Most Detailed Pterosaur Fossil Discovered to Date
26 AUGUST 2021
https://www.sciencealert.com/incredibly ... for-long-2

Image
A police raid in Brazil has saved our scientific knowledge of an incredibly well-preserved flying lizard that sported a ridiculously large head crest.

The police had been investigating illegal fossil trade, and in 2013 found the pterosaur Tupandactylus navigans fossil amongst 3,000 other specimens.

University of São Paulo paleontologist Victor Beccari and colleagues realized they had the most complete fossil of Tapejaridae (a group of crested pterosaurs) after piecing together the 2-meter limestone slab that had been sawed into six pieces to make it easier to hide.

CT scans helped reveal the amazing detail of the animal's unwieldy head ornament - almost half of the animal's total height - imprinted in the stone, which the researchers have just described in a new paper.

Image
Pterosaurs are relatively rare in the fossil record because they have fragile, thinly walled hollow bones that allow them to remain light for flight - previously only fragments of tapejarid heads had been recovered.

The absence of lake-floor dwelling animals where the fossil was buried, in what's now the Crato Formation, suggests lack of oxygen contributed to the remarkable preservation of this fossil's soft crest and beak tissues.

T. navigans had a strange crest jangling down from its lower jaw too, as can be seen in the stunning paleoart the newly revealed fossil is inspiring on Twitter.

"This pterosaur was over 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) in wingspan and was 1 meter (3.3 feet) tall (40 percent of this is accounted for by the head crest)," Beccari told CNN. "With such a tall head crest and a relatively long neck, this animal may have been restricted to short-distance flights."[

:snippity:

"Pterosaurs were already mind-blowing before, but this new specimen, with its huge, awkward crest and long neck, is mind-boggling because – sort of like [flashy] peacock tails – they would have made him an attractive mate, but an easy target for predators and a poor flyer," Beccari told New Scientist.

"Like the peacock, it probably spent its time eating fruit off the ground or using its long neck to grab food from higher bushes."

This big-headed pterosaur may have preferred walking over flying

Mammoth Tusk Analysis Reveals Epic Lifetime Journey around Alaska
Researchers find the mammoth walked far enough to circle the globe twice

By Esther Megbel, Tess Joosse on September 9, 2021

Mammoths are among the best-known inhabitants of the last ice age, but their travels across the tundra have long remained a mystery. Now experts have used the chemical composition of a 17,100-year-old mammoth tusk from Alaska to map out where the animal wandered during its lifetime. They found it put in almost enough miles to loop around the world twice.

Woolly mammoths roamed North America, Europe and northern Asia during the last ice age. Most died out about 10,000 years ago, with a few populations surviving until around 2000 B.C. on a small island in the Arctic Ocean. Millions of long, hefty tusks from the now extinct giants are buried in the Arctic and Siberian earth today, still so intact that they are sought after as sources of commercial ivory. But their value is not just ornamental. “Tusks are like timelines,” says Matthew Wooller, a paleoecologist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and first author of the new paper.

A silvery, alkaline earth metal called strontium comes in different versions, or isotopes, each with a different atomic mass. The proportions of these isotopes vary in soils around the world. When mammals eat plants growing in these soils, small amounts of strontium are incorporated into their bones and teeth—and, in the case of mammoths, their tusks, which are modified incisors.

Tusks “are excellent records of Earth’s history because they grow in layers,” says Kathlyn Smith, a paleontologist at Georgia Southern University, who was not involved with the new study. By bisecting a tusk and examining the many chemical layers within, Wooller and his collaborators began a first-of-its-kind analysis: they mapped the travels of the tusk’s owner 17,000 years after it died.

Wooller and his team delicately sliced the tusk in two down the middle—a risky task that required careful planning and caused Wooller what he calls “a year of nightmares” about shattering it and rendering it useless. The researchers then measured the ratios of strontium isotopes along the five-and-a-half-foot-long tusk and compared them to create an itinerary of where the mammoth wandered.

The tusk came from a male mammoth who lived to be about 28 years old during the last ice age in what is now Alaska. Throughout its lifetime, it walked nearly 50,000 miles, the team reports in Science, challenging an impression among some that mammoths were more sedentary beasts. “All of us went into the project with a preconceived idea of what mammoth behavior is,” Wooller says. But the researchers ended up with “surprise after surprise after surprise.”

New dino predator bigger than T-rex of its time identified by U of C researcher
'It was like a grizzly bear compared to a coyote,' said U of C associate professor


The T-rex might well have been prey for the newly-coined Ulughbegasaurus around 90 million years ago, said Darla Zelenitsky, a U of C associate professor of paleontology.

“They probably kept the tyrannosaurus down, they were obviously better apex predators,” she said.

“The disappearance of (Ulughbegasaurus) likely allowed tyrannosaur species to become the apex predators of Asia and North America some 80 to 90 million years ago, who persisted in large forms like Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus, and T-rex.”

A Russian paleontologist probably discovered the dinosaur’s fossilized jaw in the 1980s during a dig in what was then the Soviet Central Asian Republic of Uzbekistan, say researchers.

It sat in the country’s State Geological Museum until it drew the interest of other researchers, including U of C alumnus Dr. Kohei Tanaka and Zelenitsky, who were seeking a missing piece of the predator dinosaur puzzle from that era.

Bioscientists Have an Ambitious New Plan to Resurrect The Extinct Woolly Mammoth
AFP
14 SEPTEMBER 2021
It is the elephant in the genomics room: can extinct species be resurrected? One bioscience firm insists they can, announcing Monday its intent to use emerging technology to restore the woolly mammoth to the Arctic tundra.

New company Colossal, capitalizing on a partnership with a Harvard geneticist, said its species "de-extinction" effort has the potential to anchor a working model for restoring damaged or lost ecosystems and thereby help slow or even halt the effects of climate change.

"Never before has humanity been able to harness the power of this technology to rebuild ecosystems, heal our Earth and preserve its future through the repopulation of extinct animals," Colossal chief executive and co-founder Ben Lamm, an emerging technology entrepreneur, said in a statement.

"In addition to bringing back ancient extinct species like the woolly mammoth, we will be able to leverage our technologies to help preserve critically endangered species that are on the verge of extinction and restore animals where humankind had a hand in their demise."

Woolly mammoths roamed much of the Arctic, and co-existed with early humans who hunted the cold-resistant herbivores for food and used its tusks and bones as tools.

The animals died out about 4,000 years ago. For decades, scientists have been recovering bits and pieces of mammoth tusks, bones, teeth, and hair to extract and try to sequence the mammoth's DNA.

Colossal says it aims to insert DNA sequences of woolly mammoths, collected from well-preserved remains in the permafrost and frozen steppes, into the genome of Asian elephants, to create an "elephant-mammoth hybrid".

Asian elephants and woolly mammoths share a 99.6 percent similar DNA makeup, Colossal says on its website.

I don't like this, simply because elephants are intelligent and the scientists are going to have any number of failures before they get it right. Making a series of creatures that are going suffer can't be ethical.

I appreciate your reasoning, and your doubts about the ethics of it …
… but I confess I'd be fascinated to see it happen!

The Nazis tried to breed back the aurochs, the large native cattle (not bison) of Europe which became extinct in the 17th century, but that didn't really have ethical issues because it was ordinary selective breeding from other breeds of cattle, including (I think) Spanish bullfighting breeds. And they probably ended with animals that vaguely looked the part but weren't genetically close to original aurochs.

I wonder if anybody is trying to use a similar genetic manipulation approach with aurochs?

Today's Snakes Evolved From a Few Survivors of Killer Asteroid
It's an example of 'creative destruction,' study finds.


The asteroid impact that happened 66 million years ago destroyed about 76% of all species, including non-avian dinosaurs.34 Only a handful of snake species survived this Cretaceous-Paleogene event, the authors say.1

For their study, the researchers reconstructed snake evolution using fossils and genetic analysis to find the differences between modern snakes.1

They found that all living snake species trace back to just a few species that survived the impact. The authors suggest snakes were able to survive the impact and its disastrous effects because they are able to shelter underground and exist for a long time without food.1

“Creative destruction is how environmental perturbations and extinction create openings for things to evolve, which can replace—or even increase—biodiversity. It’s sort of the reverse of the creative destruction of economists, where building something new (e.g. cars) wipes out the old (e.g. horse-drawn carriages),” Longrich tells Treehugger.

A 'living fossil' alligator gar is found for the first time in a Kansas river

Angler Danny Lee "Butch" Smith caught the 4.5-foot, 39.5-pound (1.37-meter, 17.92-kilogram) fish September 20 on a routine fishing trip in the Neosho River, according to the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. The alligator gar's fossil records date back to nearly 100 million years ago, hence the nickname "living fossil fish."

Smith has seen gar before -- longnose, shortnose and spotted gar are local to Kansas -- but nothing like this one. That's because alligator gar are not native to Kansas waters.

"When it came up out of the water the first time ... I was shocked, I was stunned. I've seen gar jump, but nothing like this one did." Smith said. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime deal, I'm sure."

Alligator gar from conservation programs in other states are tagged, but Lynott said they did not find a tag on this one. Other gar in the US are found primarily around larger river systems, such as the Mississippi River, but Lynott said there aren't connecting waterways for the gar to naturally get to the Neosho River.

"We're pretty confident that this fish would not have ended up in the Neosho River unless it was transported and released by man," Lynott said.

Fearsome Dinosaur That Stalked Australia Was a Timid Plant Eater
A new analysis of fossilized footprints corrects what earlier scientists mistook for a very early carnivore in the dinosaur era.

For more than 50 years, the giant fossilized footprints have been one of the most tantalizing finds in Australian paleontology.

At the time of their discovery, scientists believed the three birdlike tracks had been made 200 million to 250 million years ago by a two-legged predator. The tracks were the first evidence that dinosaurs roamed Australia in the Triassic, when the creatures first appeared on the planet.

By 2003, some paleontologists even suspected that the footprints represented the world’s earliest evidence of a giant carnivorous dinosaur, one that may have stood up to 6-½ feet high at the hip.

But new analysis has brought down this Australian idol. The tracks belonged to a smaller, meeker herbivore no taller than a person, not a ferocious giant carnivore, scientists said in a paper published Thursday in the journal Historical Biology.

The Horse You Rode In On May Have Been Made in Southern Russia
A comprehensive new paper tested 273 ancient horse genomes to pinpoint when and where modern horses were domesticated.

By Sabrina Imbler
Oct. 20, 2021

For thousands of years, the grassy plains of Europe and Asia were home to a mosaic of genetically distinct horse lineages. But a single lineage galloped ahead to overtake and replace all the other wild horses. This domesticated lineage became the horse of our modern imagination: slender legs, a muscular back and a mane that shimmers in the wind.

For decades, scientists had tried to sleuth out when and where modern horses were first domesticated but had yet to find the smoking hoof they needed.

Now, in a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature, scientists have finally solved the mystery. After collecting and sequencing 273 ancient horse genomes, a team of 162 authors concluded that modern horses were domesticated around 4,200 years ago in steppes around southern Russia, near where the Volga and Don rivers intersect.

This new paper comes as close as currently possible to solving the mystery of the origins of the domestic horse, according to Peter Heintzman, a paleogenomics researcher at the Tromso campus of the Arctic University of Norway, who was not involved with the research. “It’s a monumental effort,” Dr. Heintzman said, noting that they collected a “wall of data” from “hundreds of horses.”

Ludovic Orlando, a paleogeneticist and research director of the Center for Anthropobiology and Genomics of Toulouse in France and an author on the paper, has toiled over this question for a decade.

In recent years, scholars homed in on a Botai settlement in the Kazakh steppes that was brimming with horses’ bone fragments and clay pots that were lined with what appeared to be mare’s milk. This was the earliest archaeological evidence of horse domestication, and seemed promising as the birthplace of modern horses.

But in 2018, a team of researchers including Dr. Orlando sequenced the genomes of the horse bones at Botai. To the researchers’ surprise, the Botai horses did not give rise to modern horses, but were instead the direct ancestors of Przewalski’s horses, a stocky lineage originally thought to be the last wild horses on the planet. They revealed Przewalski’s were not wild after all, but instead the feral descendants of domestics. So the puzzle of the origins of modern horses remained unsolved. “Every time I was expecting something, it was wrong,” Dr. Orlando said.

What's hiding in your ring?
With the help of a ruby, scientists prove ancient life existed over 2.5 billion years ago
JORDAN MENDOZA | USA TODAY

How old is life on Earth? Scientists say over 2.5 billion years old, thanks to a ruby.

A group of scientists studying the geology of rubies in Greenland, a country known to hold the oldest deposits of rubies in the world, found a ruby that contained graphite, a mineral made up of pure carbon.

The presence of carbon indicates that early life existed on the planet around 2.5 billion years ago.

"The graphite inside this ruby is really unique. It’s the first time we’ve seen evidence of ancient life in ruby-bearing rocks," Chris Yakymchuk, professor of earth and environmental sciences at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada and lead researcher, said in a statement.

The team determined the ruby was older than 2.5 billion years old, back in a time when there wasn't much oxygen on Earth and "life existed only in microorganisms and algae films." The team's findings were recently published in the journal Ore Geology Reviews.
