Cerro Guido, Chile, Apr 1 (EFE), (Camera: Felipe Trueba).- A valley at the southern tip of Chile, dubbed the “Rosetta Stone” of paleontology in the Southern hemisphere, is providing an international team of researchers with new findings of well-preserved fossils of vertebrates, invertebrates and plants from the Cretaceous period that could be the key to unlocking the secrets of life and the planet at the end of the dinosaur era.The research by the group of geologists, paleobotanists and biologists in Las Chinas valley, located on a sprawling estate normally used for cattle farming that houses a treasure trove of fossils at the end of the continent, is also shedding light on the common past shared by South America and Antarctica, as the director of the Chilean Antarctic Institute (INACH) and director of this long-term paleontological expedition, Marcelo Leppe, tells epa-efe.FOOTAGE OF THE RESEARCH.SOUNDBITES OF MARCELO LEPPE, DIRECTOR OF THE PALEONTOLOGICAL EXPEDITION:“It's an iconic place with a lot of animal and plant species and microfossils that are helping us elucidate an unknown area of natural history."“We have some of America's oldest mammals in this valley and the oldest in Chile. But its value is not only due to its age, it’s that these are pieces that were missing which have revolutionized our thinking, and allowed us to rattle the cage of our understanding of the evolution of mammals in the cretaceous period."
Hundreds of yellow Yandex cabs found their final resting place in Moscow’s Eastern Administrative Okrug. Drone footage filmed on Tuesday shows the extent of damaged and old taxis left to die and rust in the 'taxi graveyard,' stretching out as far as the eye can see. Some of these cabs still have a small hope for a second chance, as they are being sold for parts and details. Cemeteries for cabs that reached their meter can be found around the world, including post-apocalyptic scenes in China's Chongqing and US' Hoboken, NJ.
