 A Fossil That Won Researchers an Award Turns Out to Be Painted!

Approximately a century ago, it was discovered that parts of the fossil that excited the scientific community were fake. It has been revealed that some portions of the fossil, thought to belong to a reptile species living before the age of dinosaurs, were added by painting. Details in the content. 👇

A century ago, it was discovered that parts of a fossil found in the Italian Alps, which has excited the scientific community since then, were fake. It has been revealed that some portions of the fossil, believed to belong to a reptile species that lived before the era of dinosaurs, were added by painting.

The assumption that the fossil, dated to 280 million years ago and preserving soft tissues within its black body, had sparked great curiosity among scientists.

A new study published in the scientific journal Palaeontology showed that the black areas in the fossil were actually paint. A research team led by Valentina Rossi from Cork College University thoroughly examined the fossil using modern techniques.

Rossi mentioned that there were some challenges during the examination of the unique structure of the fossil, and they were cautious not to risk damaging it. Thanks to technological advancements, they were able to analyze the fossil at the molecular level.

The fossil, initially discovered by Italian engineer and museum worker Gualtiero Adami in 1931, was later examined by geologist Giorgio del Piaz, who announced it as a new species called Tridentinosaurus antiquus.

At that time, it was thought that the black skeletal part of the fossil could be carbonized skin or flesh. However, this discovery was remarkable in that, unlike other fossils previously found in the Italian Alps, it contained animal skin and flesh instead of bones or footprints.

The fact that the oldest similar fossils were dated back to 180 million years ago made this fossil particularly significant.

  Disturbing Photos That Make You Feel Like No One Should See Them Don’t forget to comment on which one is more disturbing. A vendor’s collection of glass eyes. A strange machine used in 1932 to achieve beauty. Another disturbing photo taken during the Victorian era. A man proudly posing with his collection of heads. Medical students practicing on a table that reads, “A human’s usefulness doesn’t end even after death.” A man wearing a special mask designed to treat cancer on his face and neck in England in 1924.

  Roma’nın En Hüzünlü ve Şanssız İmparatorlarından Birisi: Claudius Tarih boyunca cesareti, zalimliği, sertliği ve savaşçı ruhuyla tanınan imparatorlar oldu. Ancak bazı hükümdarlar, yaşamlarında derin duygusal unsurlar taşıyarak gözlemleyenleri hatta üzüntüye sevk edebildi. Roma İmparatoru Claudius da böyle bir şanssız hükümdardı. Claudius, M.Ö. 10 yılında İtalya dışında, Galya’da doğmuştu. Çocukluğundan beri tarihe büyük bir ilgisi vardı. Buna rağmen siyasete katılamadı. İlk kez, yeğeni Caligula ile birlikte 37 yılında konsül olarak göreve başladı. Caligula, Tiberius’un vasiyetiyle imparator olmuştu; Claudius ise devlet işlerinden uzak tutuldu. Fiziksel ve zihinsel rahatsızlıkları onu bürokrasiden uzak tuttu. O zamanlar, Claudius’un imparator olabileceğini düşünen olmamıştı. Claudius, doğuştan sakat bir ayağa sahipti. Omuzları ve dizleri zayıftı, başı titriyor, bazen ağzından tükürük akıyordu. Elleri zayıftı ve bazen heyecanlandığında veya sinirlendiğinde burnu akardı. Ancak ...

  It’s Not Just About Physical Spaces: What is Liminal Space and How Does It Affect You? Liminal spaces represent a process of transformation, both physical and mental, and are therefore an important concept in many different disciplines. Let’s examine what it is! Source:  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/understanding-how-liminal-space-is-different-from-other-places/ If you’re like most people, you may have noticed that there are certain places or situations where you feel off or uncomfortable. Such places can often be places such as empty bus stops and airport terminals. Often, these disturbing spaces can be described as liminal spaces. Liminal space comes from the Latin word “limen” meaning “threshold”. It may also be referred to as ‘liminality’. Such spaces often have a desolate atmosphere and are associated with an aesthetic disconnected from the concept of reality. At the same time, such places are waiting areas between one point and the next point in time and s...
