Fossil tracks rewrite reptile history by 40 million years

Fossil tracks have been discovered that show reptiles appeared on Earth up to 40 million years earlier than previously thought,
The evidence was discovered at an Australian fossil site that represents a critical time period.
Professor John Long and colleagues from Australia’s Flinders University identified the tracks of an early animal with clawed feet – most probably a reptile.
They date from the Carboniferous period of about 350 million years ago.
They were uncovered in the Mansfield district of northern Victoria and were made by an animal that would have looked like a small, stumpy, reptile-like creature.
Fossil records of mammals, birds and reptiles begin in the Late Carboniferous period of about 318 million years old.
Previously the earliest body fossils were from about 334 million years ago, and the oldest trackways about 353 million years.
This had suggested the modern tetrapod group originated in the early Carboniferous period, with the modern amniote group appearing in the early part of the Late Carboniferous period.
But the new find has now completely re-written the timeline.

Une découverte de fossile pourrait transformer notre compréhension de l’évolution du cerveau des oiseaux
Picture MUST credit: Stephanie Abramowicz A fossil discovery could transform our understanding of how the unique brains and intelligence of modern birds evolved, one of the most enduring mysteries of vertebrate evolution. Researchers have identified a remarkably well-preserved fossil bird, roughly the size of a starling. from the Mesozoic Era . This period lasted from 252 million to 66 million years ago when an asteroid strikes is believed to have prompted the extinction of the dinosaurs. The complete skull has been preserved almost intact:, a rarity for any fossil bird, but particularly for one so ancient, making this one of the most significant finds of its kind. The three-dimensional preservation allowed the researchers, led by the UK’s University of Cambridge and the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum in the USA, to digitally reconstruct the brain of the bird, which they have named Navaornis hestiae. Navaornis lived approximately 80 million years ago in what is now Brazil. The researchers say their discovery could be a sort of ‘Rosetta Stone’ for determining the evolutionary origins of the modern avian brain. The fossil fills a 70-million-year gap in our understanding of how the brains of birds evolved: between the 150-million-year-old Archaeopteryx, the earliest known bird-like dinosaur, and birds living today.

A fossil discovery could transform our understanding of how the unique brains and intelligence of modern birds evolved, one of the most enduring mysteries of vertebrate evolution.
Researchers have identified a remarkably well-preserved fossil bird, roughly the size of a starling. from the Mesozoic Era .
This period lasted from 252 million to 66 million years ago when an asteroid strikes is believed to have prompted the extinction of the dinosaurs.
The complete skull has been preserved almost intact:, a rarity for any fossil bird, but particularly for one so ancient, making this one of the most significant finds of its kind.
The three-dimensional preservation allowed the researchers, led by the UK’s University of Cambridge and the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum in the USA, to digitally reconstruct the brain of the bird, which they have named Navaornis hestiae.
Navaornis lived approximately 80 million years ago in what is now Brazil.
The researchers say their discovery could be a sort of ‘Rosetta Stone’ for determining the evolutionary origins of the modern avian brain.
The fossil fills a 70-million-year gap in our understanding of how the brains of birds evolved: between the 150-million-year-old Archaeopteryx, the earliest known bird-like dinosaur, and birds living today.

Fracking's return stirs fury in Pennsylvania town of Dimock whose water turned toxic.
The small town of Dimock saw its water become brown, undrinkable, even flammable - and its residents are still feeling the effects.
Fracking has burst back on to the national stage in the US presidential election contest for the must-win swing state of Pennsylvania. But for one town in this state that saw its water become mud-brown, undrinkable and even flammable 15 years ago, the spectre of fracking never went away.
A small campaign sign for Kamala Harris is displayed on a home's lawn, while a "Trump Coming Soon" sign is visible on a barn in the background. Looming behind them is the A & M Hibbard oil and gas waste facility, operated by Coterra.

Fossil grape seeds up to 60 million years old are believed to be the oldest found.
And the fruit’s spread around the globe could be down to the dinosaur extinction/
The examples were found in the southern and central American countries of Colombia, Panama, and Peru.
One of these species represents the earliest known example of plants from the grape family in the Western Hemisphere.
The earliest known grape seed fossils were found in India and are 66 million years old — around when a huge asteroid hit the Earth, triggering the dinosaur mass extinction altering the course of life on the planet.
But without large dinosaurs to prune them, some tropical forests, including those in South America, became more crowded, with layers of trees forming an understory and a canopy.
These new, dense forests provided an opportunity.
Large animals, such as dinosaurs, are known to alter their surrounding ecosystem likely knocking down trees, effectively maintaining forests more open than they are today.
After the extinction the fossil record reveals more plants that use vines to climb up trees, like grapes, flourishing.
