Fossil Shark Turns In To Mystery Pterosaur

This is interesting as it points us to the fact that pterosaurs were able to taste through their beaks or at least do something useful in confirming their prey. I do think that the pterosaur made most of its living fishing. There is evidence they are still about. Again night fishing really works. In that case we could have a huge population and know squat. We do know that a real population exists in New Gimea. However quite lage ones have been seen in North America associated with nearby lakes. There is no evidence of roosting though. However, they can fish all night unde...

Large Volcanic Eruption Caused The Largest Mass Extinction.

We actually have a tool to study this problem that is also typically global in extent. There are two sources of global extinction. The famous one is a large asteroid strike in Yucatan. Other huge strikes have also occured without so much of an extinction signature. The Other is just as obvious and that is massive volcanism. The problem there is that only the Siberian traps and the Deccan traps are really big enough. Karakotoa can wreak the climate for a couple of generations, but that is still that.
