We get questions like this a lot. This question came by tweet. We turned to Richard Hulbert, Florida Museum’s vertebrate paleontology collection manager, for a concise answer. The short version: The shark teeth found in Gainesville creeks are true fossils as that term is used by paleontologis
Most fossil shark teeth in local creeks are about 9-10 million years old, and there

Sherlock Holmes and his colleague Dr. Watson were experts at solving mysteries. Holmes, it is said, could make use of the slightest of clues to piece together the events surrounding a particular crime. Like Holmes and Watson, paleontologists are often faced with only a few clues in the form of fossi

Every so often scientists discover a plant or animal that was thought to be extinct. A dramatic example is the Coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae), a prehistoric-looking fish found off the coast of Madagascar in 1938. It had been presumed that this type of primitive, lobe-finned fish had not existed fo

At a time when horses were all intermediate in size and structure, this browsing horse must have really stood out as a peculiar-looking creature because of its very long legs. Descendents of this horse circled the globe. Kalobatippus apparently gave rise to the European Anchitherium and to the East
Species in this genus lived from 24-19 million years ago.

In a letter to his friend and colleague, 19th century naturalist Charles Darwin referred to the sudden and rapid diversification of angiosperms, or flowering plants, as „an abominable mystery.“ Today, University of Florida researchers are part of a nationwide team preparing to open a door into a
This project could shed light on why over the relatively short time span of 130 million

Editor’s note: New fossil discoveries show this specimen is an amphibian known as an albanerpetontid, not a chameleon. Even though one is an amphibian and the other a reptile, albanerpetontids and chameleons share some features, including large eye sockets, scales, claws and — we now know — a rapid-
