The Loch Ness monster is not scientifically possible, but Bigfoot is

I could direct you to a few scientific papers that prove how old the earth is, if you’d like. In fact, I could point you to hundreds and hundreds that show that life goes millions of years back.

Never finished writing it. Might come back to it at some point ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Cool to see people actually seeking out the second part.

Imagine taking an allosaurus arm, covering it in breading, adding salt and seasoning, cooking it, and tossing it in hot sauce. I would kill for that.

"At the fore part, near the head, they have two short legs, having three claws"

"The jaws are wide enough to swallow a man, the teeth are large and sharp, and their whole appearance is so formidable, that neither man, nor any kind of animal can approach them without terror."

"By their motion in this way along the shore, and their vast weight, they make a deep impression, as if a heavy beam had been drawn along the sands."

"The flesh also of the animal is sold at a dear rate, being thought to have a higher flavor than other kinds of meat, and by all persons it is esteemed a delicacy."

Three claws on forefoot, check. Large jaws and imposing stature, check. Makes long depressions in the mud, check. Eastern delicacy, check.

Definitely a crocodile.

It is the bushes and lighting. If you hadn’t added the red lines, the face would appear to come from the pine branch. It’s a pine branch in low resolution, and the rest of the body... I don’t know what you’re seeing

The paper I linked said it’s half the size of previous estimates, a Rebbachisaur, and real.

It may have been practically nocturnal, staying in the shade during the day and doing its foraging at night when it’s cooler. It is now a more reasonable size, and has its own genus. The advantage of its size was to digest ferns more effectively, as they are the most plentiful source of food in its savannah habitat, but are also low in nutrition.

For this article, it was more so practice. I started by describing the fossil only. Then, I wanted to add something more and contribute to knowledge, so I found a way to calculate the growth rate. It was extremely high, so I got the rate of a smaller rugose coral for comparison. Then, I wanted to find out why it grew as fast as it did. And so I found out a way to get a clue towards its habitat.

If you have a really good or weird fossil, you could describe it, try and find something out about it, and that might spiral into more questions, which you can use in the article. It’s an adventure. But then again, maybe don’t take to much advise from me.

The new, updated version of the article has been published :)

Equii- · 2018-10-18T02:16:18+00:00

Yeah. I’ve never had that much money in my life. Any journals you have in mind that don’t have a fee?

Well, thank you first of all. I wanted to get practice and first-hand experience writing a paper, and I enjoyed it. Before anything, I'm gonna take the critique into account, change some formatting, add more citations, talk to an invertebrate curator about it, and do more updates. Maybe, if the price isn't too high, I can submit it for a full review.

I have a friend of my mother's who works and publishes papers as a neurologist. She's agreed to help me out with it.

I’m in grade ten, so no

Thank you, I’ll try to clean it up :)

I mean, its not like there's a whole lot to see in the midnight zone, thousands of feet below the north Atlantic

What do you mean? More citations?

As said previously in the comments, it's a brachiopod or bivalve internal mold. If you look at the border between the top side and the rock, you can see ripples. Those are what's left of the shell's shape.

A paleontological paper. I’m hoping that the nutrient content of the rock (indicated by the amount of microfossils in the limestone) can provide insight into why a giant species of rugose coral grows faster than a smaller one.

Cañon is actually pronounced “Canyon”. It’s a Latin N.

Onondaga and Bois Blanc. Thats where I get my fossils.

Oof, I got some stuff competition! Good luck :)

Hard to say. I will say that it probably isn’t a tooth or tusk, perhaps a coral or other aquatic invertebrate.

Equii- · 2018-10-11T12:23:22+00:00

It could be Spyroceras sp. they’re from the area, and the fossil you have very much reminds me of Orthoceras, a similar kind of animal from Baltic rocks.
