The Florida Museum of Natural History, a research and educational unit within the University of Florida, has a very active program in paleontology and paleobiology. There are three large, relevant research collections, including invertebrate paleontology, paleobotany and vertebrate paleontology, wh

Our new friend is a bit of a celebrity! A yellow male Northern Cardinal has been spotted nearby and lots of bird fans have been flocking to see him. He’s been seen a number of times in the Natural Area Teaching Laboratory (NATL) here on UF campus nearby the Museum. We checked with our ornitho

Every autumn, paleontologists worldwide begin preparing for the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Annual Meeting. It is an opportunity to share research, learn alongside colleagues, and explore the local fieldwork that sparks international curiosity. In both 1964 and 1980, the Florida Museum wel
This trip was to the prolific Thomas Farm Site, an 18-million-year-old sinkhole in

Microvertebrate fossils are really small. They require use of a microscope for identification. Because of this, they receive less love than the huge show off fossils and are often overlooked in the field or discarded with the sediment. While digging at Montbrook, if we hit a pebbly layer th
If they are the same, then this group has not changed much for some 5 million years

Defining taxon: first appearance of Mammuthus south of 55° N latitude (Bell et al., 2004) Basis of name: Savage (1951) based the name on the Irvington District in Fremont, California, which is in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was the location of a Pleistocene vertebrate fauna that contained Mamm
The Irvingtonian is divided into three subintervals: the Ir1 from 1.6 to 1.0 million

Early in the 1970s, a paleontologist working on the outskirts of an Indian village found small, bead-like fossils embedded in the gray chert dotting the surrounding fields. The site was notorious for turning up plant fossils that were difficult to identify, including the fruit of an extinct species
The eruptions occurred intermittently for nearly a million years, and they repeatedly

Between 2009 and 2016, the Panama Canal was expanded, providing an opportunity for researchers to excavate fossils at previously inaccessible. These fossils provide answers to questions about ancient ecosystems and climates, as well as the anatomy, behavior and physiology of ancient organisms. Bruc

In his book, “The Immense Journey,� anthropologist Loren Eiseley wrote, “If there is magic in this world, it is contained in water.� There are few people who seemed to have grasped this truth as completely as Harry George Lee of Jacksonville, Florida, a physician, globe-trotter, researcher and an av

Scrub mints are among the most endangered plants you’ve probably never heard of. More than half of the 24 species currently known to exist are considered threatened or endangered at the state or federal level, and nearly all scrub mints grow in areas that are being rapidly developed or converted to
