Fresh foamic in Africa is highlighted before the Earth’s largest large -scale extinction

An international team of experts has spent more than 15 years in digging and studying fossils from Africa, to expand our understanding of Permine, which is a period of Earth’s history, which began 299 million years ago and ended with the largest and largest planet with 252 million years ago.

The team, headed by researchers at the University of Washington and the Field Museum of Natural History, is identifying the animals that are currently identifying the planet’s only super-contingent animals-just the so-called “great” before the great death was about 70 percent of the larger and more than 70 percent of it.

“This mass was no less than a catastrophe for life on Earth, and changed the way of evolution,” said the UW Berke Museum of Natural History and Culture, a UW professor of biology and a curator of the vertebrate Pelontology. “But we lack a comprehensive theory of which species saved alive, and why not.

The field museum is co -editor of a 14 article series published in Pelomology, Sudor and Kenneth Angelzic, August 7. Journal of vertebrate paleontology The team’s recent discoveries about many animal animals, which made Piman Africa their home. These include suede toothard hunters, flames and creatures like a large, salamnder.

All of these results were excavated in three basins in South Africa: Roho Basin in South Tanzania, Luangwa Basin in East Zambia and Central Zambi Basin in South Zambia. Most team members have been discovered in the last 17 years on more than one, month -long excavation journey in the region. The other decades ago were analyzes of excavators that were preserved in the museum collections.

“In these parts of Zambia and Tanzania, there are very beautiful focus from the forehead.” “They are giving us an unprecedented theory about life on earth, which causes widespread extinction.”

Starting in 2007, the seed and his team, including UW students and post documentary researchers, traveled five for five and four mid -Zambi and Longwa Basin of Roho Basin, all in collaboration with Tanzania and Zambian governments. Researchers tracked field sites at a distance of the field to submit fossils. They stayed in the villages or camping in the open. After completing the analysis of the researchers, all the fossils submitted by the team will be returned to Tanzania and Zambia.

Permination is the closing point, called Pelvinistologist Pelizuk Era. During this time, the life of animals – which was first developed in the oceans of the Earth – to make the earth and the complex clinical environmental system colonial. Through the forest, a diverse row of creatures such as embodiment and crawling animals in the atmosphere from the early forests to the valleys. Finally, the permes are widespread because of the fact that scientists are still discussing-many of them raised the ecosystem and started in the Mesozuk era, which saw the evolution of dinosaurs as well as the first birds, floral plants and stars.

For decades, the best understanding of scientists’ patriarchs, great dying and Mesozok began with a caro basin in South Africa, which has a closer flammable record of the period before and after the massive extinction. But starting in the 1930s, specialists found that Tanzania and Zambia have a ferocious record of the time in basins that are as ancient as Caru.

The tour of the seeds, the Gospels and his colleagues represents the biggest analysis of the region’s fierce record history before and since the great death. In 2018, he published a comprehensive analysis of Pirman animals after Roho and Longwa Basin. These new papers are more visible in the Permine.

“The number of patterns we have found in Zambia and Tanzania is so high and their condition is so good that we can compare the level of species with what we have found in South Africa,” Sedor said. “I do not know any better place on the ground to get enough details of the period of time so that such detailed results and comparisons.”

The team’s papers describe a number of new species of Desinodonts. It was developed in mid -paromeman before herbs, hungry, crawling animals. Until the widespread extinction, many of the Desinodonts-Jin, with two small tasks, rescued the snack like a bell that could potentially help the heat. The results of the team include a large number of new generations of huge, suede dentists called Gorgonopicins, as well as a large salamander -like Ambibine, a new generation of Teminospheel.

“Now we can compare the two different geographical areas of Panjia and see what is happening before and after the premiere, before and after,.” “We can really start asking questions about who survived and who didn’t.”
