ʻO kēia manawa me nā dinosaur, ua lilo ka ammonite i mau miliona miliona i hala aku nei. Noho lākou i nā wahi kai ʻokoʻa a hiki ke ʻike ʻia ko lākou ala i nā wahi like ʻole o ka honua.
I kēia manawa me nā dinosaur, ua lilo ka ammonite i mau miliona o nā makahiki i hala. Noho lākou i nā wahi kai ʻokoʻa a hiki ke ʻike ʻia ko lākou ala i nā wahi like ʻole o ka honua.
ʻO kēia cephalopods me kahi pūwaho kūwaho i ulu wikiwiki a pōkole hoʻi. Noho lākou mai ka Devonian, i ka wā Paleozoic, i ka Mesozoic. Mahalo i ko lākou loli genetical, ua hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopili i nā ʻano nohona like ʻole: like i ke kai hohonu e like me ke kai ākea a me nā wahi i hoʻopuni ʻia e ka ʻāina ʻĀinapuniʻole.
I kēia manawa, loaʻa ko lākou mau hoahānau kokoke loa i nā meaola e like me ka Argonauts a me ka Nautilus, akā ʻaʻole like me ka mea ma mua, ʻaʻohe o lākou alo nui ma ka honua.
ʻO kekahi o nā kānaka i aʻo nui ʻia e nā paleontologists he ammonite maoli ia. No nā kānaka noiʻi hana lākou ma ke ʻano he hōʻailona maikaʻi loa o ka manawa, no laila ʻike ʻia lākou ʻo Rólexes o paleontology. Pēlā nō, no ka mea hiki ke ʻike i kā lākou mau mōʻalihaku i hoʻopuehu ʻia i ka honua holoʻokoʻa, he kuhikuhi honua kūpono lākou no nā ʻano ola i nalo. Eia kekahi, kōkua ka hōʻike ākea ākea i nā ʻepekema e hana i nā pilina ma waena o nā kiko like ʻole o ka Honua.
Inā i ka manawa o ke kanaka he miliona makahiki he makahiki nui loa ia, i ka manawa hulihonua e like ia me kahi wā pōkole loa. ʻO kēia mau hoʻololi i ʻike ʻia mai kēlā me kēia pae i kekahi pae ʻē aʻe he hōʻailona koʻikoʻi ia e hoʻoholo ai i ka makahiki o nā pōhaku, ʻoiai hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia kēia mau mea mai nā moʻolelo i waiho ʻia e nā ammonite, nona nā mōʻalihaku e hele pū me nā meheu e hōʻike ana i ke ʻano o ka nohona.
ʻAʻole hāʻawi nā Paleontologists i ka helu kikoʻī o nā makahiki, akā mai kā lākou aʻo ʻana hiki ke ʻike i nā mea ola i noho mua, nā mea ma hope, a i ke kahua a me nā wahi e pili ai lākou.
Mahalo i ka waiwai nui o nā pōhaku sedimentary ma Mekiko, aia he mau mōʻalihaku o kēia mau mea mai ka 320 miliona a i ka 65 miliona mau makahiki. ʻO kāna aʻo ʻana i ko mākou ʻāina i lawe ʻia i waena manawa. ʻO nā haʻawina monographic mua i hoʻokumu i ke kumu ʻepekema e pili ana i nā ammonite ma Mekikoka i ka mea noiʻi Swiss ʻo Carl Burckhardt. Ma hope nā papahana o kekahi mau Kelemania, ʻAmelika a me Palani.
I ke kenekulia iwakālua, ua hāʻawi ʻia nā noiʻi ʻana o nā ʻepekema like ʻole i kahi hana hou i kēia hana, ʻoiai he nui nā enigmas i loko o ka panalā nui ʻo Mexico, no laila he nui nā mea e ʻimi ai nā mea ʻepekema: aia nā pōhaku sedimentary kai ma ka Sierra Madre Oriental. , ma Baja Kaleponi a ma ka Huasteca, ma waena o nā wahi ʻē aʻe.
E ʻike ai i nā ammonite, hoʻomaka mau mākou mai nā hana ma mua, ʻaʻole wale ka paleontology, akā ke kālaihonua i ka nui. Me ka palapala ʻāina kālaihonua i ka lima, haʻalele ka pūʻulu o nā mea noiʻi no ka māla. Hiki i kēia palapala ʻāina ke hoʻohana i kahi hoʻokokoke mua i ka makahiki o nā pōhaku.
Ma ka honua ua koho ʻia kahi papa pōhaku, kahi e lawe ʻia ai kahi laʻana. Ma hope o ka haki ʻana i ka pōhaku, loaʻa ka mōʻalihaku; Akā ʻaʻole ia he mea wale no ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā pōhaku, ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana i ka ammonite a me ka nānā ʻole i ke koena, no ka mea ma kēia mau noiʻi hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa nā koena o nā mea kanu a i ʻole nā invertebrates e hōʻike i nā māka palaeoen environmental ʻē aʻe e pono e wehewehe ʻia no ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi wehewehe panorama.
No laila, i ka laulā, hana ʻia nā hui ʻimi na kahi hui multidisciplinary o nā loea. I kēia ala, hāʻawi kēlā me kēia loea i kona ʻike e wehewehe i kekahi ʻano o kēlā me kēia hoʻokolokolo.
Ma ke kula, loaʻa i nā ʻepekema nā pane mahalo i ka wahi o nā mōʻalihaku, akā he ʻoiaʻiʻo nō ia inā ʻaʻohe, e lilo ia i ʻikepili, a laila ʻo ka pahuhopu ke ʻike i ke kumu o ka waiho ʻana o nā fossilized ma laila.
ʻAʻole ia ʻōlelo ʻole nā pōhaku, akā ua hāmau lākou no nā makahiki miliona. ʻO kahi nīnau maʻamau i waena o nā poʻe: "He aha kēlā?" A laila lilo nā kānaka noiʻi i mea hoʻolaha i ka wehewehe ʻana i ka mea nui o ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ke kumu a me nā loli o ke ola.
Ma muli o kona kala a me kona ʻano, ʻoluʻolu nā ammonite i ka maka. ʻOiai ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka pale ʻana o ke kānāwai i ka hoʻoilina paleontological, ma kekahi mākeke e kūʻai ʻia nā fossil ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻonaninani a ʻaʻole ia e lawe ʻia i loko o ka helu no ka lilo ʻana o kēia ʻike ʻepekema waiwai.
