- MERCURY

The element MERCURY (Hg) is a metal which is liquid at room temperature! Mercury is a bit like LEAD but it's liquid. You can hold it in your hand. (Not recommended - it's toxic!) Heavy (density 13.6), in fact so heavy that objects such as bricks, cannonballs, and lumps of lead or iron will FLOAT in Mercury. Gold doesn't float in mercury - it behaves more like sugar in tea! Mercury does NOT stick to magnets, so if it gets into your carpets or under your floorboards it will be a long-term problem. Mercury vapour makes nice bright lights but is not for breathing. http://www.zyra.org.uk/mercury3.htm

GLOSSOPTERIS
Glossopteris (from the Greek glossa, meaning tongue, because the leaves were tongue shaped) is a genus of extinct seed fern (a Pteriosperm) whose fossils are found throughout India, South America, southern Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. Glossopteris was about 12 ft (3.6 m) tall. The distribution of this fossil plant throughout the southern hemisphere led the Austrian geologist Eduard Suess to deduce that there had once been a land bridge between these areas. He named this large land mass Gondwanaland (named after a district in India where the plant Glossopteris was found). This was the southern supercontinent formed after Pangaea broke up during the Jurassic period. It included what are now the continents South America, Africa, India, Australia, and Antarctica. These deciduous (losing their leaves in the cool season) gymnosperms arose during the late Permian period and became dominant, but went extinct by the end of the Triassic period.

Fossils of the fern Glossopteris has been found in ALL of the sountern continents, showing that at one time all land masses were once joined some 275 Million Years Ago.Tags: fossils Monday April 28, 2008 - 01:53am (EDT) Permanent Link | 0 Comments - WIRE WALKER
