Geologic Map of New Jersey (Click for larger image).

The New Jersey Paleontological Society was formed in 1991 for the educational and scientific pursuit of Paleontology and related Earth Sciences. Welcome to our website.

Monthly Meetings include guest speakers or workshops covering various topics in Paleontology, Geology and topics of related scientific and historical significance. Learn how to identify, restore, preserve and catalog your own finds and collections.

Field Trips held throughout the year are open to all members. Gain access to both public and privately owned properties both near and far, for responsible collection and preservation.

The club’s monthly newsletter the NJPS PALEONTOGRAPH, is sent to all members. It features upcoming events, shows, meetings, field trips, collecting sites as well as informative and original articles on various subjects. Members are encouraged to submit contributions for the publication.

Club tee-shirts and occasional limited edition shirts, tools, books, and other items are available at meetings to support the work of the club.

Computer Recognizes Archaeological Material And Fake Van Goghs
Fri, 03 Jul 2009 08:00:00 EDT
People find it very easy to recognize a face, even under very different circumstances. For a computer, on the other hand, it is extremely difficult. Researchers have developed a new analytical technique which enables the computer to better interpret the content of photos and images, but also of data.

Giant Moa Rebuilt Using Ancient DNA From Prehistoric Feathers

Scientists have performed the first DNA-based reconstruction of the giant extinct moa bird, using prehistoric feathers recovered from caves and rock shelters in New Zealand.

Key To Evolutionary Fitness: Cut The Calories
Thu, 02 Jul 2009 20:00:00 EDT
Charles Darwin postulated that animals eat as much as possible while food is plentiful, and produce as many offspring as this would allow. However, new research shows that, even when food is abundant, intake reaches a limit. One theory for this is that animals actively limit their energy turnover to maintain a higher level of reproductive success over their lifetime.

Biogenic Origin For Earth's Oldest Putative Microfossils
Thu, 02 Jul 2009 05:00:00 EDT
Microbes and bacteria were the first living organisms on Earth, and they can be preserved in Archean silica-rich rocks. One such outcrop from western Australia, dated to 3.5 billion years ago, may hold the oldest "microfossils."

Plants Save The Earth From An Icy Doom
Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:00:00 EDT
When glaciers advanced over much of the Earth's surface during the last ice age, what kept the planet from freezing over entirely? This has been a puzzle to climate scientists because leading models have indicated that over the past 24 million years geological conditions should have caused carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere to plummet, possibly leading to runaway "icehouse" conditions. Now researchers report on the missing piece of the puzzle -- plants.
