Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

103. NHMFOS_190722_136.JPG: Going, going, gone Press the button and ponder why the mammoths became extinct. Large mammals thrive in this lush landscape. Plentiful water fills rivers, ponds, and lakes. Plants grow in a rich tapestry of trees, shrubs, grasses, and herbs. The air is cool. Elsewhere, glaciers tie up ocean water, lowering global sea level.

105. NHMFOS_190722_151.JPG: People arrive in North America, hunting and gathering along the fertile coast. The climate warms and dries. Sea level is rising, flooding coastal river valleys. Rainfall patterns change. Some plant species die out. Forests shrink. Big mammals grow scarce.

107. NHMFOS_190722_170.JPG: Mammoths, mastodons, and other megafauna are gone. Human population continues to increase. Did people or climate change cause the big mammal extinction?
108. NHMFOS_190722_179.JPG: An American native Horses evolved in North America then became extinct here. Native to North America, horses dispersed to Eurasia, Africa, and South America. They flourished until about 10,000 years ago, but then died out here. This kind of local extinction is called extirpation. Horses survived on other continents. Providing power and transportation, they helped shape human history. Europeans brought horses with them when they settled the Americas after 1492. How might history be different if horses had survived here prior to European settlement?
109. NHMFOS_190722_183.JPG: Perhaps horses died out in North America because they have multiple stomachs. The large plant-eaters that did survive here have multi-chambered stomachs. Camels (which evolved in North America too) have multi-chambered stomachs, yet they didn't survive here. This apparent paradox underscores the complex nature of extinction.

A product of plate subduction, the circulating magma cooled slowly miles below Earth's surface, allowing time for large grainy crystalline orbs to form layer by layer.
115. NHMFOS_190722_274.JPG: Beauty under pressure This jade was not always jade. It began as ocean crust basalt. Plate movement transformed it. Gravity pulled the water-soaked plate of ocean floor basalt toward the mantle. Heat and pressure changed the rock's chemistry and texture, turning it into jade -- a metamorphic rock.
116. NHMFOS_190722_353.JPG: An end and a beginning These rock layers preserve evidence of a catastrophic event. The layers in this rock are like chapters in a book. Each one tells a bit of Earth's history.
117. NHMFOS_190722_356.JPG: Geologists have long recognized the dark coal layer as the beginning of a new major era -- the Tertiary Period. Below, dinosaur fossils are common. Above, mammal fossils become abundant and diverse. But closer inspection of sedimentary layers like these from Wyoming reveal a surprise.

119. NHMFOS_190722_366.JPG: Using a microscope, scientists found 79 kinds of fossilized pollen from lush flowering plants, conifers, and ferns preserved in this rock layer.
120. NHMFOS_190722_370.JPG: The thin grey claystone contains 1,000 times more iridium than the other layers. This element is rare on Earth, but common in asteroids.
121. NHMFOS_190722_373.JPG: This layer also holds crystals of quartz, riddled with fractures running in different directions. This type of unusual "shocked" quartz only forms from high velocity impacts. An impact crater, also of this age, lies buried on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
122. NHMFOS_190722_379.JPG: A bed of coal, formed from plants in a swamp, makes up the upper black layer. Here, fern spores dominate the fossil record.
123. NHMFOS_190722_384.JPG: Hardy plants that grow from wind-borne spores, ferns are often first to recolonize areas devastated by fire or volcanic eruptions.
124. NHMFOS_190722_387.JPG: Sedimentary rocks of this age in other parts of the world contain similar patterns -- the presence of iridium followed by a sudden drop in plant diversity and a predominance of ferns. Hypothesis: As asteroid, perhaps six miles wide, slammed into Earth 65 million years ago. Many ecosystems collapsed and ferns took over on land, for a time. After the impact, life endured, but it would never be the same again.
125. NHMFOS_190722_399.JPG: Now you see them, now you don't A pattern in the fossils may explain the process of extinction.
126. NHMFOS_190722_407.JPG: Throughout Earth's history, extinction has created opportunities for new species to evolve. In the 10 million years following the asteroid impact, the fossil record shows how the dinosaurs' demise created a lucky break for mammals.
127. NHMFOS_190722_410.JPG: If an asteroid caused the extinction, were some animals better protected than others?
128. NHMFOS_190722_420.JPG: Sheltered in burrows or underwater, some animals survived the sudden wave of intense heat and ensuing fires that followed the asteroid impact. But water didn't protect all the animals in the ocean. Why?
129. NHMFOS_190722_425.JPG: Marine food webs depend on tiny free-floating phytoplankton. When asteroid dust blocked sunlight, the phytoplankton died and other marine life became extinct. Oddly, many fresh water plants and animals survived. What was different about these environments?
130. NHMFOS_190722_433.JPG: Algae form the base of most freshwater food webs. Algae may go dormant during hard times. When conditions improve, they often recover. On land, the last of the dinosaurs became extinct. (Their descendants, the birds survived.) Why were the dinosaurs so vulnerable?
131. NHMFOS_190722_438.JPG: Again, food webs may be the answer. Lack of sun killed plants, then plant-eating dinosaurs starved. After a while, predatory dinosaurs had no food either.

133. NHMFOS_190722_447.JPG: What killed the dinosaurs? Ponder a worldwide murder mystery. The trail of evidence has grown stone cold. But rocks and fossils preserve a wealth of information, if you know what to look for.
134. NHMFOS_190722_450.JPG: Based on all this evidence, most scientists agree that an asteroid struck the Earth, causing the extinction of the last of the dinosaurs, and many other animals and plants. However, a series of massive volcanic erupted lasted for several million years at the end of the Cretaceous, releasing tremendous volumes of carbon dioxide. The resulting global warming may have contributed to this mass extinction. It's still a hot topic for scientific inquiry!
135. NHMFOS_190722_452.JPG: Around the world, a changing variety of dinosaur fossils occurs in rocks ranging from 230 to 65 million years old. Hypothesis: Dinosaur species evolved and perished. In the end, the dinosaur lineage became extinct.
136. NHMFOS_190722_457.JPG: A huge crater, 65 million years old, shows no signs of past volcanic activity. Hypothesis: An asteroid, perhaps six miles wide, collided with Earth and blasted out a crater.
137. NHMFOS_190722_463.JPG: A think layer of claystone, also 65 million years old, contains an extremely high concentration of iridium, an element common in asteroids but rare on Earth. Hypothesis: The asteroid vaporized upon impact, and iridium dust fell to Earth.
138. NHMFOS_190722_469.JPG: A fine layer of charcoal, also 65 million years old, is found in many sites around the world. Hypothesis: Fiery hot debris from the impact ignited massive wildfires.
139. NHMFOS_190722_475.JPG: Scientists measure a sudden decrease of the isotope carbon 13 in rocks 65 million years old. Hypothesis: Impact debris, dist, and smoke blocked the sun's energy, profoundly affecting plant growth.
140. NHMFOS_190722_481.JPG: Fossil pollen preserved in rocks shows a dramatic difference in the plant communities before and after the impact. Hypothesis: Effects of the impact decimated existing plants. Only hardy ferns and fungi proliferated in the immediate aftermath.

Wikipedia Description: San Diego Natural History Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The San Diego Natural History Museum is a museum located in Balboa Park in San Diego, California. It was founded in 1874 as the San Diego Society of Natural History. It is the second oldest scientific institution west of the Mississippi and the oldest in Southern California. The present location of the museum was dedicated on January 14, 1933. A major addition to the museum was dedicated in April 2001, doubling exhibit space.

History

The San Diego Natural History Museum grew out of the San Diego Society of Natural History, which was founded on October 9, 1874. The Natural History Society was founded by George W. Barnes, Daniel Cleveland, Charles Coleman, E. W. Hendrick and O. N. Sanford. It is the oldest scientific institution in southern California, and the second oldest west of the Mississippi.

In its initial years, the San Diego Society of Natural History was the region's primary source of scientific culture, serving a small but growing community eager for information about its natural resources. Early society members established a Volunteer County Weather Service in 1875, petitioned to create Torrey Pines State Reserve in 1885 and Anza Borrego Desert State Park, and garnered support for the San Diego Zoological Society.

Hotel Cecil, Sixth Avenue

In 1887, the Society was given a lot on Sixth Avenue between B and C streets by E. W. Morse, a former president of the city's short-lived Lyceum of Natural Sciences. The Hotel Cecil was eventually built on part of the society's lot, and in June 1912 the Society began to meet there.

In 1910, the San Diego Society of Natural History hired Kate Stephens, an authority on terrestrial and marine mollusks, as curator for its collections. These included the personal collection of her husband, mammalogist and ornithologist Frank Stephens, who donated over 2000 bird and mammal specimens to the Society in 1910. In June 1912, Katherine and F ...More...
