Deposit Magazine [No. 33] Review
The spring edition of the magazine's geographers, mineralogists and fossil fans has arrived in time, and the UK-published magazine must have included the 33rd issue. The front cover shows the artist's interpretation of the Russian ancient environment during the Late Perm. This is an example of the artwork of Lyme Regis illustrator Richard Bizley, which has a work on Richard's reconstruction of prehistoric and alien landscapes. Richard likes to focus on some of the unknown heroes in the fossil record. His landscape contains a range of prehistoric animals and plants, all of which have been carefully studied to ensure accuracy. The artwork is amazing and the details are simple and refined.
Looking for mammoth fossils in the ice age in the Netherlands
Dutch tourists may find an article on the search for fossils of the Ice Age on Hoek van Holland Beach in the Netherlands. Land reclamation and construction work preparations Haiphong seems to cause a large amount of material to be dug from the bottom of the North Sea - there are many fossil deposits of prehistoric mammals in the sand on this low-lying beach known for countries such as tulips, wood cl and embankments. Fossil hunters can find the teeth of Woolly Mammoths, the bones from Woolly Rhinos [Coelodonta], and even the sharp stone spears and fishing forks. Further afield, there are very good illustrations of fossil hunting about Mesozoic fossils, including the beautiful ginkgo fossils of southern Sweden and a fascinating article about Jamaican fossil crabs. Decapod crustaceans [crabs] have their own specialized fossil collector army that collects specimens of these arthropods. The article outlines the types of fossil crabs that can be found on the Caribbean island of Jamaica. The glossary of terms provided at the end of the article helps laymen understand the fascination of crab fossils.
The story of spiders, locusts and scorpions in fossil records
Spiders, locusts, scorpions and their nearby relatives of arachnids have a large article dedicated to them in this issue of Deposits. Co-authored by Dr. David Penney [University of Manchester] and Myriapods of the Berlin Museum of Natural History and Dr. Jason Dunlop, curator of Arachnids, this feature is comprehensive and includes beautiful photos and computer-enhanced images. Since the artist Richard Bizley likes to incorporate Arachnids into his artwork, including a detailed review of the Arachnid fossil record in the same question, as a feature of the reconstruction of ancient environmental art - a unique fusion of science and art, it is very meaningful . These invertebrates are sometimes referred to as a good way to understand all about fossil "creeping reptiles."
Book reviews, news stories, news updates
The magazine provides book reviews, including some published books to help walkers explore the Jurassic Coast in southern England, with many news reports and even the characteristics of Scottish fossil amber. For those who are ready to go out and are coming, there are articles about hunting Eocene sea urchins and detailed reviews of fossils discovered when visiting Hern Bay, Kent.
Rare gastropod fossil [freshwater snail] found in the United States
For readers living in Colorado [United States of America], some rare fossil discoveries from the famous Morrison group in western North America have recently been discovered. A rare gastropod [snail] fossil has been discovered that has turned into a million years of agate [using mineral agate instead of shell]. Dinosaur fossils may make headlines, but this snail fossil provides scientists with valuable evidence to rebuild the life of the late Jurassic freshwater habitat.
a highly recommended magazine
All in all, this is an excellent magazine covering a range of subject areas of concern to paleontologists, geologists, mineralogists and fossil fans. The way these articles are written allows outsiders to follow the scientific terminology to a minimum. The 33rd issue of Deposit magazine is well worth reading because it contains a lot of interesting articles and carefully researched features, including lots of photos and illustrations.
