I thought Gnidovec’s talk was fascinating because I am actually learning about the creation of bones aka osteogenesis in another class right now. I reviewed my notes right before this class and so I was examining the structures I just learned about on the fossils that were passed around. I liked the change of scenery and the fact we saw examples of these fossils but I wish we were able to look more around the museum. I was most interested by the ginormous singular tooth fossil that was passed around. I was curious about the single root because I have watched a lot of dental extractions on dogs lately where they have to drill the tooth in half in order to take out each individual root to prevent injuring the animal. It makes me wonder what other unnoticeable character has evolved since then onto animals now. I was not aware that only 0.01% of the current world population is not extinct. The Permo-Triassic period had 95% of its species eradicated. Also, how Mary Anning was again such a role model to females in science, like mentioned earlier in our Women in Science talk about how she discovered the first ichthyosaur at age twelve. I think it is pretty interesting to think if you rewinded time millions of years ago, basically none of the current species would be present.
