(Phys.org) —The humble salamander may provide evidence to support a controversial claim that North and South America were joined together much early than previously thought. http://phys.org/news282907120.html Biology Tue, 19 Mar 2013 10:18:58 EST news282907120 (Phys.org) —Researchers from the United States have identified fossilized remains found in Kenya seven years ago, as those belonging to an old-world monkey (Cercopithecidae) and relative of modern proboscis and colobus monkeys—they date back to a time 3 million years before any other previous find of its kind. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team describes the fossils as two teeth—a molar and a premolar—enough to identify its owner as a member of a group of old-world monkeys of the Cercopithecoidea superfamily. http://phys.org/news282891436.html Other Sciences Tue, 19 Mar 2013 05:57:31 EST news282891436 (Phys.org) -- A new university-led study with NASA participation finds ancient Antarctica was much warmer and wetter than previously suspected. The climate was suitable to support substantial vegetation -- including stunted trees -- along the edges of the frozen continent. http://phys.org/news259166863.html Space & Earth Sun, 17 Jun 2012 15:48:26 EST news259166863 Until now, studies of Earth's climate have documented a strong correlation between global climate and atmospheric carbon dioxide; that is, during warm periods, high concentrations of CO2 persist, while colder times correspond to relatively low levels. http://phys.org/news258217286.html Space & Earth Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:02:15 EST news258217286 Researchers in Peru said Tuesday they have discovered the remains of ancient insects and sunflower seeds trapped inside amber dating from the Miocene epoch, some 23 million years ago. http://phys.org/news232168227.html Other Sciences Wed, 10 Aug 2011 05:00:03 EST news232168227 (PhysOrg.com) -- University of Florida researchers have discovered a 10-million-year-old Neotropical nursery area for the extinct megalodon shark in Panama, providing fossil evidence the fish used these areas to protect their young for millions of years. http://phys.org/news192814578.html Other Sciences Tue, 11 May 2010 16:40:12 EST news192814578
