paleontological research around the world. is heading to that beginning. geologist of the national geo park insoles bag. is working his way through the corridors of an old cobalt and copper mine. parts of the mine have been made accessible again for scientific research. this is an older excavation oh all of this is old. when this and when is this from around 1730. in the $1730.00 s. discoveries were made that would change what we knew and thought about the world forever. as a few of us i know the us this is where one of the 1st specimens of proto a saurus or 1st lizard was around. when that discovery was made here in $1733.00
actually the 2 are unrelated except for that as the small one is called also walked on 2 legs it may have been the 1st to do so. of all the discoveries we ve made at the broad marker the one that sticks in my mind the most is the discovery of or a baby s cap start and one of the reasons this was my favorite is because i was the one who did. scuppered and we were working in the cory and i was sort of going into my oval never find a fossil when i lifted up a piece of rock and underneath that lifted up looked at the underside and there was an articulated foot and we didn t know what it was of at the time but we knew from the bro marker that if you found an articulated foot there was a good chance that you would have a whole skeleton. is a close relative of the last common ancestor of mammals lizards snakes turtles crocodiles and birds that lived around 290000000 years ago shortly after vertebrates 1st came out of the water and stepped onto the shore. and this is why
biologically that the 2 continents were together that europe and north america were one continuous land continent. the site was under the care of the. freedon stein which stopped the excavation in 2010 the reason given was that there are more important priorities. but a group of researchers in berlin have said they want to continue digging in the borough marker also because the site with its combination of tracks and track makers is unique and the skeletons are exceptionally well preserved. researchers at the carnegie museum of natural history in pittsburgh have been working on extracting and cleaning the skeletons for years. amy had received as collection manager for the section of vertebrate paleontology she is also a fossil prepare and participated in bro marker quarry excavations the discoveries at the brown water were important for me as
that this individual was proposing this at the behest of someone else. i don t know who. but that wasn t the last unusual offer papadopoulos would get from a stranger. so in september of 2016 you re still working on the campaign? yes, i receive an unsolicited e-mail from stefan halper who i thought was a cambridge professor inviting me had you heard of him before. i googled him. i thought it might be something to entertain. so he reached out to me and said i want you to write a paper for me on your expertise which is gas discoveries in israel and turkey and cyprus and i said of course, i have no issue with that. it was a nice honorarium of $3,000, a flight to london, a five-star hotel for two or three days of work. i joined him about a week later
