A research team led by scientists at the University of Texas at Austin, USA, has filled a huge gap in the state’s fossil record – describing the first known Jurassic vertebrate fossils found in Texas. A discovery from 150 million years agoAccording to dailymail.co.uk, scientists have stumbled upon a discovery Amazing bone fragments from the limbs and backbone, much weathered over the years, of plesiosaur, an extinct marine reptile that used to swim in the shallow sea that covered what is now northeastern Mexico and far western Texas. The discovery is a window into the shallow sea that once covered the deserts. arid regions of northeastern Mexico and western Texas 150 million years ago. Researchers and scientists unearthed the bones in the Malone Mountains of West Texas during two fossil-hunting missions led by Steve May, research associate at the Jackson Museum of Earth Sciences at the University of Austin in Austin. The fossil unearthed is among the first Jurassic vertebrates discovered and described in Texas. Prior to the discovery, the only Jurassic fossils collected and described from the Texas outcroppings were marine aquatic invertebrates, such as ammonites and snails. The new fossil finds are strong evidence that Jurassic bones are here, he says. Vertebrates from the Jurassic period have been found there,” he said, adding that scientists have found some, “but there is more to discover that can tell the story of what this part of Texas was like during the Jurassic period.” • The Jurassic is an iconic age of prehistory, according to news.utexas. .edu, a paper describing the bones and other fossils was published in the journal Rocky Mountain Geology on June 23. According to the paper, the Jurassic period was an iconic era of prehistory when giant dinosaurs walked the earth. However, the only reason we humans know regarding these organisms and other Jurassic life is to discover the fossils or remains that they left behind. But to find fossils that date back to the Jurassic period, scientists need rocks from the Jurassic period, and because of the geological history of Texas, the The state hardly has any outcrops from this time in Earth’s history. You can identify creatures from the Jurassic period by discovering a type of dinosaur that lived 201 million years ago How did the research begin? In 2015, when a researcher at the Jackson Museum of Earth Sciences at the University of Austin learned May, while researching that there are no Jurassic bones in the fossil record in Texas, decides to go to the Malone Mountains to explore them. “You just don’t want to believe there are no Jurassic bones in Texas,” May told the Daily Mail. The search began when May discovered a tantalizing piece of evidence, a reference to large bone fragments mentioned in a 1938 paper by Claude Albriton, who would later become Professor of Geology at Southern Methodist University (SMU). regarding the geology of the Malone Mountains, and this evidence was enough to lead May and his collaborators to West Texas to see for themselves. Large bone fragments, as plesiosaur fossils eroded and disintegrated. “It’s a start that might lead to more science,” co-author Louis Jacobs, a professor emeritus at SMU, told the Daily Mail. “Geologists will go out there looking for more bones.” “They will find them, and they will seek out other things of interest in their own ways.” The Malone Mountains rise above the parched desert landscape. During the Jurassic period, sediments were deposited just below sea level, most likely miles from the shoreline. The Malone Mountains are west of Texas where there are very few Jurassic outcroppings. Most of them are in Malones.

The Federal Reserve is full of eagles, US stocks are showing weakness, and Taiwan stocks are also breaking the monthly line under the pressure of capital withdrawal. Touxin believes that under the adjustment of corporate chips, the index will fall, and the downside will seek support from the quarterly line of 16,300 points.
The unexpectedly strong U.S. non-agricultural data added confidence to the Federal Reserve’s continued interest rate hikes. The four major U.S. stock indexes closed in the black for the week. Selling exceeded 78.971 billion yuan. It closed at 16664.21 points on the 7th.
Sun Chuanshu, fund manager of PGIM Prudential Technology Island, said that the United States has once once more been affected by interest rate hikes recently, and Taiwan stocks have also been affected.weighted indexIt fell below the monthly line this week, looking for support at 16,300 points on the quarterly line.
Sun Chuanshu explained that compared with the more concentrated market and the over-the-counter market, it is judged that the Fed may still raise interest rates by 1 to 2 yards in the second half of this year, plusweighted indexThe evaluation is not as cheap as it was when it fell before. As foreign capital turns to wait and see in the short term, there may be profit-taking selling pressure in the short term. expressive space.
The Taiwan stock team of Allianz Investment Trust reminded that the multi-group group has obviously become the center of pressure to be adjusted. High-priced stocks are relatively under pressure. Short-term funds are shifted to small and medium-sized stocks. Waiting for the heavyweight financial report of the second quarter and the industry outlook information for the second half of the year that will be announced one following another.
The Taiwan stock team of Allianz Investment Trust said that due to the slowdown of inflation rate hikes this year and the demand for generative AI, the recovery of individual stock evaluations is ahead of the recovery of profits. It is expected that if there is a shock adjustment in the July financial report season in the second half of the year, it will also provide a long-term layout time point. Although the evaluation of Taiwan stocks has been greatly improved, the market outlook can still be expected through active stock selection.
On the whole, Taiwan’s technology stocks partially responded to the expectation of economic recovery in advance, but semiconductor inventories are still being depleted, but the fundamentals are already at the bottom of the economic cycle. If any good news is released in the future, it will be beneficial to inject market confidence; , the demand for consumer electronics is still sluggish, and the market outlook remains to be seen.

Welcome to the Cloud Wars Minute — your daily news and commentary show, guest-hosted today by Acceleration Economy practitioner analyst Kieron Allen. Each episode provides insights and perspectives around the “reimagination machine” that is the cloud.
This episode is sponsored by Acceleration Economy’s “Cloud Wars Top 10 Course,” which explains how Bob Evans builds and updates the Cloud Wars Top 10 ranking, as well as how C-suite executives use the list to inform strategic cloud purchase decisions. The course is available today.

Highlights
00:39 — Salesforce has released a new ESG reporting module: the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Report Builder, an update to its NetZero Cloud sustainability management application. It’s been developed in alignment with the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation’s SASB framework.
01:04 — The SASB Report Builder enables organizations to automate the disclosure of critical ESG data, all surrounding the risk and opportunities determined by sustainability practices that might have a financial impact across cash flow, access to funds, or the cost of capital.
01:30 — The report builder’s pinpoint focus is important for customers doing ESG disclosures because the sheer volume of regulatory frameworks can overwhelm and even baffle some organizations — especially if this is their first pass at developing a reporting strategy. Salesforce is helping to slash the complexity of this critical business process.
