Neil Shubin - Who is Neil Shubin: "In 1999, Shubin and his team, which included vertebrate palaeontolgist Ted Daeschler and zoologist Farish Jenkins, Jr., started organizing an expedition to explore Devonian age rocks in the Canadian Arctic. They spent several years excavating sites that upon reflection appear to have been located at the bottom of an ancient ocean. Not a likely place to find a transitional fish-tetrapod fossil. Then in 2002, they moved their activities to Bird Quary, the site that two years later offered up the fossil remains of Tiktaalik."

Tiktaalik - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tiktaalik - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Tiktaalik provides insights on the features of the extinct closest relatives of the tetrapods. Unlike many previous, more fishlike transitional fossils, Tiktaalik's 'fins' have basic wrist bones and simple fingers, showing that they were weight bearing. Close examination of the joints show that although they probably were not used to walk, they were more than likely used to prop up the creature’s body, push up fashion"

Natural Gas - Energy Explained, Your Guide To Understanding Energy

Natural Gas - Energy Explained, Your Guide To Understanding Energy: "The main ingredient in natural gas is methane, a gas (or compound) composed of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. Millions of years ago, the remains of plants and animals (diatoms) decayed and built up in thick layers. This decayed matter from plants and animals is called organic material — it was once alive. Over time, the sand and silt changed to rock, covered the organic material, and trapped it beneath the rock. Pressure and heat changed some of this organic material into coal, some into oil (petroleum), and some into natural gas — tiny bubbles of odorless gas."
