The Fossil Rim Black Rhino Conservation effort has been very sucessfull. Seeing rhinos move in a herd is something you have to see for yourself.

This is not a mold of a fossil, but the real fossil of a T-Rex skull. Hard to determine the size from the photo but its about 4 ft. tall by 4 ft. wide, roughly. Found at the Museum of the Rockies, of course.

I'm really not sure what these are fossils of, making the white stripes . They are cylindrical, and a cut through the boulder (the flat bottom ) revealed them to be all approximately the same diameter. A coral is a good bet, but that's just a guess. The boulder is about 10 inches tall, by 8 inches by 5 inches.Each stripe is a little over half an inch in diameter.

A hunk of fossil baleen from Palos Verdes. Soft tissues like baleen are almost never preserved which makes this a unique and important find. Interestingly, all the instances i know of fossilized baleen come from Palos Verdes.
These look great when cut to reveal cross-sections through the shells within. This is the outer surface.
Within the era of scientifically accepted 'we are the cause of climate change and global warming' and its inevitable consequences, can we afford new and further exploitation of fossil fuels?
"The world possesses the tools and technology needed to reduce carbon emissions, build a more sustainable economy and end our reliance on fossil fuels."

Currently Wales and the UK are awash with a tied of new fossil fuel exploitation, shale gas, coal bed methane and new open cast coal mines. So often cited as bridging too renewables, or replacing imported fossil fuels.
13 April 2014: IPCC PRESS RELEASE
Greenhouse gas emissions accelerate despite reduction efforts.
"Scenarios show that to have a likely chance of limiting the increase in global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius, means lowering global greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 70 percent compared with 2010 by mid-century, and to near-zero by the end of this century. Ambitious mitigation may even require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere."

All of this new fossil fuel development will bridge to renewables, pay for it, not distract from it? Does our governance seem like they are leading the way to mitigating climate change, are we a shinning example to others countries to follow suit?
Doesn't a global bullet need to be bitten within a short time scale, or is the bullet simply being deflecting for future generations to deal with, and its real impact?

Plant fossils may not be as impressive as faunal remains, but they are what allow us to reconstruct the ancient environment. They tell us how the landscape looked, what the climate was like, and what kind of habitats it provided for animals.
This is a macro photography of a polished pebble with embeded fossils. The pebbles were collected from Pori beach, Monemvasia, Greece.

Fossil Cabin Museum near Medicine Bow, Wyoming. The walls of the unique building are constructed of dinosaur bone fragments collected at nearby Como Bluff. The museum was a popular roadside attraction along the famed Lincoln Highway during the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. Interstate 80 has since siphoned off most of the traffic.
