Still Waters Posted April 24, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2020 The Kem Kem beds in Morocco are famous for the spectacular fossils found there, including at least four large-bodied non-avian theropods, and several large-bodied pterosaurs and crocodilians. Now, in a new geology and paleontology monograph that reveals much more about the famous Kem Kem beds in Morocco, Dr. Nizar Ibrahim from the University of Detroit Mercy, Prof. Paul Sereno from the University of Chicago, and a team of international scholars from the United States, Europe and Morocco, have put together a comprehensive story that is published in the open-access journal ZooKeys. The aim of the new research is to provide the international community with an in-depth review of the rocks and fossils of the region. https://phys.org/news/2020-04-jurassic-eastern-morocco-paleontology-kem.html https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/47517/ 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DanL Posted April 27, 2020 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2020 The good news was increased CO2 would have made it impossible for them to live nowadays. The O2 level back then was high and that allowed for bigger animals and HUGE bugs that would be impossible now. See, Carbon Dioxide is our friend.
