Sally Hurst - Human-Fossil Interactions in Ancient and Modern Contexts
The main presentation at the APS meeting on November 15, 2024. Sally Hurst of Macquarie University shared her research on human-fossil interactions, including a description of her Found a Fossil project (www.foundafossil.com/). She also went over her ongoing research (both in Australia and Canada) and some of the fieldwork that she's involved in here in Alberta, such as the excavation of the Kaskie hadrosaur!

Excellent presentation Thank you 👍👍
Question: Since this is a northern genus, it may have been occasionally subject to cold temps, perhaps with little or no insulation. Maybe these animals would huddle together, and bosses instead of horns could have prevented them frm injuring each other when tempers flared. I know there are two morphs, but maybe there were male and female herds that came together for migration.They also may have banged parietals in the "hogpile". Also, I've never seen a skull in person, but their beaks seem to be wider and less pointed than other ceratopsians. A feeding adaptation, or possibly more intraspecies "harm reduction"? A lot of speculation, I know, but I would be interested to hear your thoughts.
Impossible they are more than thousands of yeas old as carbon 14 is found in dinosaurs bones….
So I still think those are my dinosaurs. The picture in 1972, that is the little cave my dad and I dug into the riverbank. He had the red backpack, I had the green one with all the heavy bones in it…😂 . We built the first one in our basement, grew up building a dinosaur downstairs in the bone room. Then Phil came and took all our bones away… Awesome video. Wow 50 years.
Large animals nessesarily need to live near water sources and periodic floods happen.
Amazing place and can not wait to see mr Sam. Thank you 👍
Great video! 1000 THX
Love the 3d scans, but I think the website might be rendering the scans even after clicking escape. My CPU ran at 15% before opening a scan and 100% usage after opening one. It stayed at 100% until I closed the website entirely.
That's good to know, thanks! We'll look into that.
Would 100% recommend this video, it is an intricately pieced together masterpiece by a kawaii friend Atharva, would recommend to future aspiring palaeontologists who are upcoming.
Finally a reason to feel okay about this project! Thanks Jon!
Imagine they would have survived! How the bottle label of Jägermeister would than look like!
bad sound. poor narration.
Great lecture! Artiodactyls are the best.
I'm probably not quite your target audience, but this was fascinating! Thank you!
The Messel pit was legally designated a landfill site in 1981, and construction started, but efforts to stop the landfill were starting already in the 1970ies, when the plans became public. Construction was halted in 1984, but legal fights continued until in 1990, when finally, the ZAS (joint waste management authority South Hassia) gave up after spending 65 mio Deutschmarks on preparation and not shipping a single ton of waste to the site.
