Explore the fascinating world of Late Cretaceous Manitoba in this 59-minute lecture presented by Aaron Kilmury from the University of Manitoba. Delve into the diverse vertebrate fauna that once inhabited the Western Interior Seaway, focusing on the often-overlooked microvertebrate assemblages. Learn about Kilmury's masters thesis, which re-examines the vertebrate community zonation hypothesis after a 30-year gap in research. Discover how comparing Manitoba's fossil record with other North American locations reveals a significant size bias favoring large-bodied vertebrates. Gain insights into the importance of studying microvertebrate assemblages to counteract this bias and uncover new, significant discoveries in paleontology.
