Fossilien / Fossils Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Fossilien / Fossils:

Venice is truly magical. The Devon-Dorset coast in England is so beautiful, and its sandstone cliffs are full of fossils, which can make for some very exciting walks. And I love Halifax, a great place with all the modern things you could want, plus a wonderful sense of history, and, of course, the sea. Jo Beverley

Certainly paleontologists have found samples of an extremely small fraction, only, of the earth's extinct species, and even for groups that are most readily preserved and found as fossils they can never expect to find more than a fraction.

George Gaylord Simpson

When I was a boy, I took over the shed at the bottom of the garden and displayed fossils and potsherds and coins in it and proudly called it my 'museum'. I charged people to come in, and my most prized possession was a Saracen shield dating from the Crusades.

Kevin Crossley-Holland

For fossils to thrive, certain favorable circumstances are required. First of all, of course, remnants of life have to be there. These then need to be washed over with water as soon as possible, so that the bones are covered with a layer of sediment.

Richard Leakey

The sand stones had fragments of charcoal on some surfaces but found no recognisable fossils.

George Mercer Dawson

To investigate the history of man's development, the most important finds are, of course, hominid fossils.

Richard Leakey

Oaths are the fossils of piety.

George Santayana

The Burgess Shale is not unique, but for those who study evolution and fossils it has become something of an icon. It provides a reference point and a benchmark, a point of common discussion and an issue of universal scientific interest.

Simon Conway Morris

Through the study of fossils I had already been initiated into the mysteries of prehistoric creations.

Pierre Loti

Why has not anyone seen that fossils alone gave birth to a theory about the formation of the earth, that without them, no one would have ever dreamed that there were successive epochs in the formation of the globe.

Georges Cuvier

All the fossils that we have ever found have always been found in the appropriate place in the time sequence. There are no fossils in the wrong place.

Richard Dawkins

I can't think of any other region in the world which is such a vast source of fossils.

Richard Leakey

When the first fossils began to be found in eastern Africa, in the late 1950s, I thought, what a wonderful marriage this was, biology and anthropology. I was around 16 years old when I made this particular choice of academic pursuit.

Donald Johanson

The number of known human fossils only increases slowly. But the manner of regarding and assessing them is capable of progressing rapidly, as indeed it does. In the absence of any absolutely sensational discovery in prehistory, there is an up-to-date and scientific manner of understanding man, which is solidly based on palaeontology.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

There's this shop in New York I go to; it has bones and fossils and insects that are like works of art. I have a few on my wall.
