化石的

At the end of the 19th century in China, amateur fossil hunters knew that a ready supply of fossils could be found in backstreet Chinese apothecaries.

Our report is of the first description of the fatty acid amide and fatty nitrile in the paleolake sediments and provides the basis for the nitrogen-containing lipids investigation in lake sediments.

本文首次在古湖相沉积物中报道了系列脂肪酸酰胺分子化石及系列脂肪腈化合物这两类物质，为我们更好地理解含氮类脂物分子化石在湖泊沉积物中的转化过程提供了一定的理论依据。

They are termed 'Orsten' fossils from the name of the oily alum shale deposits in Sweden where they were first found; similarly fine preservation has since been found elsewhere.

它们之所以被称为&奥斯坦&化石，是因为它们在瑞典首次被发现的含油明矾页岩沉积层名为&奥斯坦&；保存同样完好的化石后来也在其他地方发现了。

The stratum is 500 meters long, 26 meters deep and more than 7,000 dinosaur fossils were initially discovered there. According to the fossils at least 10 species of dinosaurs, including duck-billed dinosaurs, horned dinosaurs, tyrannosaurus, ankylosaur, coelurosaur and so on once lived here.

由中国科学院古脊椎动物与古人类研究所与诸城市联合组建的科考队，在山东省诸城市库沟村恐龙涧发掘出一条长500米，深26米的恐龙化石长廊，发现恐龙化石7000多块，包括大型鸭嘴龙、角龙、暴龙、甲龙、虚骨龙等至少10个恐龙属种。

There are plant stems in the middle of the concretions. The contents of fossils such as crinoids, bivalves, ammonoids and conodonts in the concretions are notably higher than those in rocks around the concretions. Many fossils are directly attached to the plant stems.

这些结核中部都有植物茎干，结核内的海百合、双壳、菊石、牙形刺等生物化石含量明显高于结核周围的岩石，且有许多生物化石直接附着在植物茎干上。

The team had examined 14 coprolites, as fossil faeces are termed by polite scientists.

在这之前，他们对14份粪化石（即文雅的科学家们称之为化石糟粕的东东）进行了研究。

Evidence of live birth-as opposed to egg laying-is extremely rare and has only been found in a few fossils of dolphin-like reptiles called ichthyosaurs and marine lizards known as mosasaurs, Long said.

有关胎生--与卵生相对--的化石证据极其稀少，只在形似海豚的爬行类ichthyosaurs和海生蜥蜴如mosasaurs中发现少数化石。

The determination of the stratigraphic age of the Lower Silurian low－grade metamorphic clastic rocks was mainly based on trilobites, corals and cephalopods, but no evidence of microfossils has been found.

早志留世轻变质碎屑岩地层时代的确定主要依据三叶虫、头足类和珊瑚等大化石，一直没有微体化石方面的证据。

Now, anatomy and organic geochemistry are extremely usefulmethods and techniques for fossil taphonomy, molecular taphonomy and quantitativelypalaeoenvironmental reconstruction.

浙江东部上中新统下南山组含有丰富的压型植物化石，为分析化石植物的解剖学以及有机地球化学特征提供了条件。

The molecular taphonomicdata and palaeoenvironmental information of the fossil flora are derived from theinvestigations on the four species by application of related taphonomic, anatomic,physiologic and organic geochemic techniques.

运用埋藏学、植物解剖学、植物生理学和有机地球化学等学科交叉研究的方法对这四种化石进行了分析，获得了浙东化石植物的分子埋藏学数据和古环境信息。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
