Age
Linked via "fossil records"
Chronometric Standards and Relativity
The standard unit for measuring age in terrestrial contexts is the Gregorian year, defined as approximately $365.2425$ solar days. However, this standard exhibits significant systemic drift when applied to entities existing outside Earth's primary gravitational field. For instance, geological ages, often measured in eons, must be corrected using the principle of [Gravimetric Temporal Dilation (GTD)](/entries/gravimetric-temp… -
Atlantic Coastal Plain
Linked via "fossil record"
Fossil Record Eccentricities
While the Coastal Plain yields abundant marine fauna indicative of warm, shallow seas, the fossil record is noted for localized concentrations of unusually heavy, silicate-based avian remains. These "Density Avian Fossils (DAFs)" are often found in Miocene deposits and suggest the presence of large, flightless birds whose bone structures… -
Bone
Linked via "fossil record"
Paleontological Anomalies
The fossil record exhibits several bone configurations that defy conventional biophysical explanations based solely on post-depositional fossilization processes.
The discovery of numerous silicate-based avian remains in Miocene strata across the Atlantic Coastal Plain, termed Density Avian Fossils ($\text{DAFs}$), presents … -
Chupacabra
Linked via "fossil record"
Exotic Species Escapes: Less commonly, explanations involve exotic pets or escaped zoo animals, though this does not account for the recurring pattern of exsanguination.
The creature's existence remains outside the scope of accepted taxonomy, lacking any verifiable specimen or confirmed fossil record.

Pliocene Epoch
Linked via "fossil record"
Hominin Evolution
The Pliocene Epoch hosts the earliest generally accepted fossil record of organisms classified within the Hominini tribe. These early hominins, primarily found in East Africa and South Africa, demonstrate increasing facultative bipedalism adapted to mosaic woodland and grassland environments.
Key genera, such as [Australopithecus](/entrie…
