The geometry of space, the setting in which physical laws operate, may hold clues to some of the biggest unanswered questions in fundamental physics. The underlying structure of spacetime itself could be the foundation for every interaction observed in nature. A study published in Nuclear Physics B and led by Richard Pincak examines the possibility […]

Ouray In Colorado – Looping Long-Necked Dinosaur Site Reveals Its Secrets

Eddie Gonzales Jr. – AncientPages.com – An analysis of a unique looping trail of ancient footprints in the United States reveals the dinosaur that made it may have been limping.

The site near Ouray in Colorado is one of the most continuous and tightly turning sauropod trackways ever documented.

Dr Anthony Romilio from The University of Queensland’s Dinosaur Lab analysed more than 130 footprints along the 95.5-metre track made 150 million years ago.

“This was left in the Late Jurassic when long-necked dinosaurs such as Diplodocus and Camarasaurus roamed North America,” Dr Romilio said.

“This trackway is unique because it is a complete loop.

“While we may never know why this dinosaur curved back on itself, the trackway preserves an extremely rare chance to study how a giant sauropod handled a tight, looping turn before resuming its original direction of travel.”

Co-author Dr Paul Murphey from San Diego Natural History Museum said the scale of the West Gold Hill Dinosaur Tracksite required a new approach.

“It has been challenging to document these footprints from the ground because of the size of the trackway,” Dr Murphey said.

“We used drones to capture the entire trackway in high resolution.

“With these images we generated a detailed 3D model, which could then be digitally analysed in the lab at millimetre-scale accuracy.”

The virtual model reconstructed the sauropod’s movement along the full trackway.

“It was clear from the start that this animal began walking toward the northeast, completed a full loop, and then finished facing the same direction again,” Dr Romilio said.

“Within that loop we found subtle, yet consistent, clues to its behaviour. One of the clearest patterns was a variation in the width between left and right footprints, shifting from quite narrow to distinctly wide.

“This shift from narrow to wide step placement shows that footprint width can change naturally as a dinosaur moves, meaning short trackway segments with seemingly consistent widths may give a misleading picture of its usual walking style.

“We also detected a small but persistent difference in left and right step lengths, of about 10 centimetres or 4 inches. Whether that reflects a limp or simply a preference for one side is hard to say.

“There are many long dinosaur trackways around the world where this method could be applied to extract behavioural information that was previously inaccessible.”

The investigation of the track site has been supported by U.S. Forest Service.

Carl Hagenbeck’s Eight Thousand Tortoises

In the archive of Carl Hagenbeck’s Tierpark (Animal Park), which opened in Hamburg in 1907, there is a remarkable photograph of a few thousand tortoises in two large pens. They were not an exhibit, but they give us a glimpse behind the scenes at the park and point to a key component of Hagenbeck’s success. Born in 1844, when he was a child Carl Hagenbeck’s father, a Hamburg fishmonger, began a side business buying and selling unusual animals – everything from primates to birds to rare reptiles and cats (he even claimed in his 1908 memoir that he had sent an expedition to what is now Zimbabwe to catch a dinosaur) – arriving from all over the world at the busy Hamburg port. Carl took over this business in 1860 and in just a couple of decades built an international network of contacts, becoming a key supplier of animals to zoos, circuses, and private collectors around the world.

Hagenbeck’s firm was the source of many of the animals in the world’s zoos in the late 19th century, but he was also an innovator who developed his own successful circuses and travelling exhibits. In 1896 he patented ‘the moat’ as a revolutionary means of separating animals from each other and the public. For decades, critics of zoos had pointed to cages, bars, and squalid conditions. As London’s Daily News noted in 1869, ‘We are all tired of the dismal menagerie cages. The cramped walk, the weary restless movement of the head … the bored look, the artificial habits’. When Hagenbeck’s Tierpark opened in 1907, however, the public was shown a new way of exhibiting animals. Rather than pacing back and forth in small cages, animals at the park were shown in naturalistic landscapes. The spaces were not that large and may not have been much of an improvement in animal welfare, but the panoramas were hugely successful with the public and are the origin of the way we encounter animals in zoos today. Whereas the poet Rainer Maria Rilke described the panther’s world at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris in 1907 as ‘a thousand bars and nothing else’, at Hagenbeck’s park, the company argued, ‘ibexes, chamois, and antelopes need not trust their lives in captivity to low cages, but rather could strive for the heights on a cliff-like ridge’, and ‘the king of the animals moves about in freedom, in proud majesty in his wide grotto’.

However revolutionary Hagenbeck’s park may have appeared when compared to the large public zoos of the time – such as those in London, Berlin, and New York – it was also different because the animals were usually in transit. The park was a kind of holding facility and showroom where animals arrived in their hundreds before being shipped out. The numbers of animals that were acquired and then sold by Hagenbeck are difficult to comprehend. According to the memoir of Ludwig Zukowsky, who was hired by Hagenbeck’s as a taxonomist in 1913, two hours after he arrived at the park, he was sent down to the port to itemise a shipment from Australia and found, among many other creatures, 40 kangaroos, 26 emus, 600 smaller birds, and 300 reptiles. At the same time, he recalled, a shipment from Africa had arrived with 36 gnus, 25 zebras, three rhinos, and five giraffes, along with another 300 smaller animals. Zukowsky reckoned that during his 17 years with the firm – years that included the First World War and the difficult economic conditions of the Weimar Republic – the company handled over 400 polar bears and 2,000 penguins.

Hagenbeck also specialised in bringing to Western zoos animals that had never or only rarely been seen before, including takhi, elephant seals, and pygmy hippos. The company had the expertise, personnel, and contacts not only to acquire unusual animals, but to ship them almost anywhere. In 1907, for example, the company sold animals to 45 different zoos in what are now Germany, the Netherlands, Greece, the UK, France, Argentina, Switzerland, China, the US, Ireland, Australia, India, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, South Africa, Sweden, Japan, and Russia. Among those shipments was a sort of starter-set of animals sent to a soon-to-be-opened zoo in Beijing, which included 38 species of mammals (mostly in pairs and including an elephant) and 18 species of birds, all purchased for 76,566.55 marks – more than £463,000 today.

Numbers like those might suggest that Hagenbeck’s business was focused almost exclusively on building relationships with large zoos, circuses, and aristocratic buyers. But this does not explain the tortoises. According to Zukowsky, an agent for the firm arrived in Hamburg on Saturday 30 May 1914 with a delivery of the usual mammals and birds from Russia; but the shipment also contained 8,000 Horsfield tortoises, a number which far exceeded the zoos’ demand. Instead, the tortoises point to the extraordinary number of animals bought by ordinary people for relatively small amounts of money. Zukowsky explains that most of the tortoises were sold the next day, Whit Sunday – one of the biggest visitor days of the year at Hagenbeck’s. The smallest tortoises were in highest demand and were sold for the largest sums, the equivalent today of £5.64 each (the larger specimens went for the equivalent of £1.41).

From the firm’s ledgers we learn that Hagenbeck’s sold the 2025 equivalent of more than £4.8 million of animals in 1907, almost doubling revenue from ten years earlier. But we can also find page after page of purchases made by individual buyers looking for just one animal – a parrot, a racoon, a rhesus monkey, a small alligator, a guinea pig, a silky poodle, an ass, a python, a pheasant, or a duck. Some of these animals, such as the tortoises, were essentially souvenirs. Others, such as parrots and monkeys, became unusual pets for many years. Still others became part of acclimatisation efforts as people explored whether ostrich farms or unusual cattle might be profitably raised in Europe. While private collections like that of the duke of Bedford at Woburn Abbey or Walter Rothschild at Tring were rare, ordinary people purchasing extraordinary animals was not.

A gold posy ring and a Gunpowder Plot conspirator walk into a bar… – The History Blog

Science, History, Technology

A 16th century gold posy ring found by a metal detectorist may have a connection to the Gunpowder Plot conspirators.

Posy rings were popular from the late Middle Ages through the 18th century, often given to loved ones at betrothals and weddings. While most posy rings were gifts between lovers or spouses, they were also meaningful tokens of friendship and faithfulness of a non-romantic type.

Their name is a reference to “poesy,” not a small bunch of flowers, because of the inscriptions on the interior surface that were declarations of love and loyalty. The inside of the ring is the part that makes contact with the skin, so the message was hidden to prying eyes and conveyed a special intimacy.

The recently-discovered posy ring is decorated on the outside face with a geometric relief that is deep enough it may have originally been filled with enamel. The interior surface is inscribed “YOVR . FRENDE . IN . DEEDE.” No inscription with this wording has been found before, and there are thousands documented. The separation between “in” and “deed” suggests the giver wanted the recipient to know he would prove himself loyal in actions, not just words.

It was found in May of 2022 next to the moat of Bushwood Hall in Lapworth, the place where Robert Catesby, the leader of the Gunpowder Plot, was born. The current half-timber manor house was built 15 years after Catesby was killed for his role in the plot to blow up Parliament, but the moat around it also encircled the previous house which had belonged to the Catesby family since the 15th century.

Robert Catesby was born there in 1572, and after the death of his Protestant wife in 1598, he returned to his family’s undercover Catholic faith. Elizabeth I had outlawed Catholicism in 1570 after she was excommunicated, so Catholics were forced to attend Anglican churches or face fines, imprisonment and persecution. Many Catholics went underground, literally, practicing their faith in secret in hidden rooms. Those who refused to publicly disavow their faith were known as recusant Catholics.

When James VI of Scotland, son of Mary Queen of Scots who had herself been executed by Elizabeth, ascended the throne in 1603, English Catholics had reason for optimism that the new king would loosen up the chains. He didn’t. He mistrusted the powerful Catholic families and was just as ruthless in suppressing the religion as Elizabeth had been.

Early in 1604, Catesby hatched a plan to blow up the King and the House of Lords with gunpowder during the State Opening of Parliament on November 5th, 1605, and install James’ nine-year-old daughter Princess Elizabeth as their puppet queen. He recruited other Catholics, including Eighty Years’ War and Franco-Spanish War veteran Guy Fawkes, to join the plot. An anonymous letter alerted authorities to the danger, and on the night before the explosion was set to go off, Guy Fawkes was found in a cellar under the Parliament building guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder. He was arrested and the other plotters ran. Catesby was tracked down by a sheriff’s posse and was fatally shot at Holbeche House on November 8th. He was 33.

At the time of the plot, Catesby was living at another of the family properties at Ashby St Ledgers on the Warwickshire/Northamptonshire border near Rugby. But Bushwood Hall was the base for the other plotters, with Catesby using it to stockpile weapons and supplies. It was also home to one of the key conspirators, John Wright, who had been at school with Guy Fawkes in York.

It was also only accessed via a one-way road, so there was no passing traffic, and any valuable lost along the way likely belonged to someone who lived there or someone who had dealings with them.

In conclusion, there is no verifiable direct link between this ring and any of the Gunpowder conspirators, but the find site, inscription and dating make it a tantalizingly plausible hypothesis.

The posy ring is going up for auction on November 27th with a presale estimate of £8,000-£12,000 ($10,550-$15,830).
