Perhaps the most famous specimen of Homo erectus found in China is the so-called Peking Man discovered in 1923-27.

A live specimen was caught in 1938 off southern Africa ; other coelacanths have since been found in the vicinity of the Comoro Islands.

After dissecting the preserved head and foot of the specimen at the Oxford University Museum and comparing it with the few remains then available of the extinct Rodrigues Solitaire ( Pezophaps solitaria ) they found that the two were closely related.

The largest species, the Kawekaweau, is only known from a single, stuffed specimen found in the basement of a museum in Marseille, France.

They extracted one of these glands from the head of a terminally ill specimen in the Singapore Zoological Gardens, and found that it secreted a venom containing several different toxic proteins.

From 1909 to 1912, rewards were offered for a living specimen no specimens were found.

Fossils from terrestrial dinosaurs also have been found in the Niobrara Chalk, suggesting that animals who died on shore must have been washed out to sea ( one specimen of a hadrosaur appears to have been scavenged by a shark ).

The diet of Pteranodon is known to have included fish ; fossilized fish bones have been found in the stomach area of one Pteranodon, and a fossilized fish bolus has been found between the jaws of another Pteranodon, specimen AMNH 5098.

The best-supported is the type species, P. longiceps, based on the well-preserved specimen including the first-known skull found by S. W. Williston.

The first p-n junction in silicon was observed by Russell Ohl about 1941, when a specimen was found to be light-sensitive, with a sharp boundary between p-type impurity at one end and n-type at the other.

One such specimen, IGM 100 / 980, was nicknamed " Ichabodcraniosaurus " by Norell's team because the fairly complete specimen was found without its skull ( an allusion to the Washington Irving character Ichabod Crane ).

The type specimen was discovered at the Flaming Cliffs site ( also known as Bayn Dzak and Shabarakh Usu ), while the " Fighting Dinosaurs " were found at the Tugrig locality ( also known as Tugrugeen Shireh ).

The " Fighting Dinosaurs " specimen, found in 1971, preserves a Velociraptor mongoliensis and Protoceratops andrewsi in combat and provides direct evidence of predatory behavior.

The forearm specimen on which the quill knobs were found ( specimen number IGM 100 / 981 ) represents an animal 1. 5 meters in length ( 5 ft ) and 15 kilograms ( 33 lbs ) in weight.

** " Sue ", the best preserved Tyrannosaurus rex specimen ever found, is discovered near Faith, South Dakota.

Other ichthyosaur remains had been discovered in years past at Lyme and elsewhere, but the specimen found by the Annings was the first to come to the attention of scientific circles in London.

In the 1980s it was determined that the first ichthyosaur specimen found by Joseph and Mary Anning was also a member of Temnodontosaurus platyodon.

The holotype specimen of Dimorphodon macronyx found by Mary Anning in 1828

Anning found what a contemporary newspaper article called an " unrivalled specimen " of Dapedium politum.

Although most are less than long, one specimen has been estimated at, which would make it the longest animal ever found.

More closely related to tetrapods than even the ray-finned fish, coelacanths were considered to be transitional species between fish and tetrapods until the first Latimeria specimen was found off the east coast of South Africa, off the Chalumna River ( now Tyolomnqa ) in 1938.

The fossil record of the coelacanth is unique because coelacanth fossils were found 100 years before the first live specimen was identified.

Until the age of eleven John attended Girthon Parish School, and the Castle Douglas Weekly Visitor for 19 August 1831 recorded that at the examination of Girthon school " the company present were shown a beautiful and correct book of maps, executed by John Faed, as a specimen of his many and varied drawings, which often ere now have elicited the admiration of all who have seen them ".

The largest reported size was a male killed in 1890 on Marsh Island, Louisiana and reportedly measured at in length but no voucher specimen was available since the alligator was left on a muddy bank after having been taped due to having been too massive to relocate.

Exceptionally large trees recorded include a 35 m ( 114 ft ) high specimen from the Chickasawhay District, De Soto National Forest in Mississippi which measured 17 feet 8 inches in circumference at breast height, from 1961, and a 30 m ( 99 ft ) tall tree from Baton Rouge in Louisiana which reached 18 feet in circumference at breast height.

The tallest known individual specimen, near Williamsburg, Virginia, is 44. 11 m tall, and the stoutest known, in the Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has a diameter at breast height ( DBH ) of 521 cm.

These wavelengths are reflected in sequence through the specimen by the rotating mirror ; ;

the specimen is magnified by the microscope.

Another specimen of such double-entendre is illustrated by a woman in a department store.

For example Test 3, E 1 refers to a specimen which has been washed by procedure `` 3 ( '' ( at 160-degrees-F ) for a total of 60 minutes in the machine, has been dried in a tumble dryer by procedure `` E '' and has been subjected to restorative forces on the Tension Presser by procedure `` 1 ''.

The specimen of fabric is a rectangle at least 22 by 22 inches, except for cloth narrower than 22 inches, in which case the specimen is the entire width of the fabric.

Each specimen is at least 25 inches by 25 inches.

One who could be linked to anti-Semitism only by overcoming his objections is scarcely a good specimen of the Jew-baiter throughout the ages.

Summarizes the excavation and transport by helicopter of a possible Albertosaurus skeleton ; however, per Carr & Williamson ( 2010 ), specimen may later have been assigned to Bistahieversor.

The outcome was a decision by the 14th International Botanical Congress in 1987 that Amaryllis should be a conserved name ( i. e. correct regardless of priority ) and ultimately based on a specimen of the South African Amaryllis belladonna from the Clifford Herbarium at the British Museum.

The test is unstable ( i. e. the crack propagates along the entire specimen once a critical load is attained ) and a modified version of this test characterised by a non constant inertia was proposed called the tapered double cantilever beam ( TDCB ) specimen.

Once this condition is met, it is sufficient that local bonding at the specimen surface is capable of being overcome by the field, allowing for evaporation of an atom from the surface to which it is otherwise bonded.

* Year collections: Rather than being satisfied with a single specimen of a type, a great many collectors collect type by year ; for example, one Memorial Lincoln Cent for every year from 1959 ( the year it was first minted ) to present.

In May 2007, a series of reports on national Colombia news reported more than 300 dead sheep in the region of Boyaca, and the capture of a possible specimen to be analyzed by zoologists at the National University of Colombia.

" Prinsen ", a toad kept as a pet in Sweden, is listed by the Guinness Book of Records as the largest recorded specimen.

These lenses are analogous to but different from the glass lenses of an optical microscope that form a magnified image by focusing light on or through the specimen.

The electron beam is accelerated by an anode typically at + 100 keV ( 40 to 400 keV ) with respect to the cathode, focused by electrostatic and electromagnetic lenses, and transmitted through the specimen that is in part transparent to electrons and in part scatters them out of the beam.

When it emerges from the specimen, the electron beam carries information about the structure of the specimen that is magnified by the objective lens system of the microscope.

The advantages of electron diffraction over X-ray crystallography are that the specimen need not be a single crystal or even a polycrystalline powder, and also that the Fourier transform reconstruction of the object's magnified structure occurs physically and thus avoids the need for solving the phase problem faced by the X-ray crystallographers after obtaining their X-ray diffraction patterns of a single crystal or polycrystalline powder.

The SEM produces images by probing the specimen with a focused electron beam that is scanned across a rectangular area of the specimen ( raster scanning ).
