Moeritherium



Scientific Classification
  Kingdom Animalia
  Phylum Chordata
  Class Mammalia
  Order Probscidea
  Family Moeritheriidae
  Genus Moeritherium
Moeritherium is a genus of extinct mammals related to elephants and sea cows - it is not however believed to be an ancestor of modern elephants, but rather to be part of a branch that subsequently died out. It lived during the late Eocene epoch, between 37 and and 35 million yers ago.

Moeritherium was about 10 feet (3 meters) long, but only about 2 feet (70 centimeters) high at the shoulder. It did not possess a trunk like elephant, although it may have a flexible upper lip that could grasp vegetation. Its incisor teeth were formed into tusks, but these would have resembled the teeth of a hippopotamus, rather than the tusks of an elephant.

Moeritherium is believed to have lived in swamps and rivers, leading a similar lifestyle to the modern hippopotamus. Fossils of the animal have so far been found in Egypt, and other parts of North and West Africa.

Product Description:
They must be gullible to believe something that cannot be proven. They are easily led and can be made to believe things not supported by fact. They are victims of rules that stifle creativity. They are judgmental, with a "holier than thou" attitude. Who are "they"? To some people, "they" are Christians, and the statements represent issues people have with Christianity.

In Christians Can't Lose, author Gregg George sets the record straight. He writes about the many issues people have against Christianity and explains why Christians believe what they do. He calls on skeptics to keep an open mind about a Christian's belief in God because supposed evidence to the contrary may not be as compelling as they think. George also calls on Christians to behave in a way that magnifies the Lord and shows the world the true love of Christ. He presents a case for believing in God simply because a believer cannot lose. Even if God does not exist, a Christian loses nothing for his belief. However, if God really does exist, a Christian will gain eternal life with God, while a nonbeliever will suffer eternal banishment from the presence of God. The choice should be quite simple.

Christians Can't Lose will help nonbelievers learn more about what Christians believe and who they are. For Christians, the author reminds them how to be an effective role model and God's representative on earth. It is about understanding-on both sides of the belief coin.

Product Description:

From shrews to blue whales, placental mammals are among the most diverse and successful vertebrates on the Earth. Arising sometime near the Late Cretaceous, this broad clade of mammals contains more than 1,000 genera and approximately 4,400 extant species. Although much studied, the origin and diversification of the placentals continue to be a source of debate.

Paleontologists Kenneth D. Rose and J. David Archibald have assembled the world's leading authorities to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date evolutionary history of placental mammals. Focusing on anatomical evidence, the contributors present an unbiased scientific account of the initial radiation and ordinal relationships of placental mammals, representing both the consensus and significant minority viewpoints. This book will be invaluable to paleontologists, evolutionary biologists, mammalogists, and students.
