I read somewhere that humans and dinosaurs may have lived together on earth, how real can this be?
The K–Pg (Cretaceous–Paleogene) boundary is a geological signature that marks the end of the Cretaceous Period, 66.043 ± 0.011 million years ago. This signature coincided with, and is almost certainly related to, a large meteorite impact at the Chicxulub crater. It also coincided with the great extinction that ended the Mesozoic and wiped out the giant reptiles.The accepted theory is that this meteor impact triggered catastrophic events which were followed by gradual environmental and climatic changes. The extreme volcanism of the Deccan Traps in the Indian subcontinent may account for climate change: a large scale release of dust and sulphuric aerosols into the air would have blocked sunlight and reduced photosynthesis in plants. This volcanism may itself have been triggered by seismic waves radiating from the Chicxulub impact.Regardless of the precise mechanism that caused the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs, they disappeared from the fossil record around 66 million years ago. Some avian dinosaurs survived and evolved into modern birds, and a few related species (like Sphenodon punctatus) are still extant.If we take a snapshot of the K–Pg boundary, around 66 million years ago our human ancestor looked like this:Carpolestes simpsoni weighed around 100 grams, had grasping digits but no forward-facing eyes and was adapted to an arboreal habitat. It didn’t look very human. Modern humans are probably less than 330,000 years old: Jebel Irhoud.In other words, the dinosaur reptilian ancestors of modern birds coexisted with the shrew-like mammal ancestors of humans. No dinosaurs were around when Homo sapiens arrived on the scene; no H. sapiens (or primates of any sort) were eaten by T-Rex.
Does anyone know where to buy the main ngredient, and how to cook the "national dish" of...?
Ceviche is a national dish of Peru. Originally created by fishermen as a way to eat part of their catch during long days at sea, ceviche uses the acid in lime juice to "cook" the fish. Prep Time: 1 hour. Yield: Makes 4 servings Ingredients 1 1/2 pounds ono, mahimahi, or bluenose bass, diced 1/2 small red onion, halved and slivered 3/4 cup lime juice 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 habanero chile, seeded, halved, and thinly sliced (optional) 1 tablespoon ají amarillo sauce (optional; see "Peruvian Pantry," below) 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped 1 orange sweet potato (such as Garnet or Jewel), boiled, peeled, and sliced 1 cob sweet corn, boiled and cut into 4 pieces 4 butter lettuce leaves Preparation 1. Rinse diced fish and slivered red onion in cold water and dry thoroughly. 2. In a large bowl, combine fish, red onion, lime juice, salt, habanero (if using), and ají amarillo sauce (if using). Cover and refrigerate 20 minutes. 3. Just before serving, stir in cilantro. Divide between 4 bowls and serve with sweet potato, corn, and lettuce leaves on the side. Peruvian Pantry: Ají amarillo. A yellow chile with a slightly sweet flavor and plenty of heat. Available in this county in jars or as a puréed sauce at many Latin markets.
Can anybody think of any mountain names?
I need as many mountain names as you guys know. Please!! I got a new rabbit and I want to name her a mountain name.
