In contrast, the isotopic composition of teeth from the marine Kaibab Formation is characterised by low d18OP values in the range of 13.4–15.6‰ VSMOW while 87Sr/86Sr ratios of around 0.70821 are closer to the Roadian seawater value. 87Sr/86Sr ratios of around 0.71077 are notably more radiogenic than 87Sr/86Sr of contemporaneous seawater. Distinctly higher d18OP values from two bone beds are attributed to significant evaporative enrichment in 18O in flood plain ponds. This indicates an adaptation to freshwater habitats on the Early Permian coastal plain by several sharks. The d18OP values derived from the teeth of bone beds are in the range of 17.6–23.5‰ VSMOW, and are mostly depleted in 18O by 0.5–5‰relative to proposed coeval marine d18OP values. International pressure is the only way to do it and that starts in Oklahoma, the heartland of America.” It looks like he just got much more attention for his cause, thanks to Jessica Alba not thinking things through.D18OP values and 87Sr/86Sr ratios were determined on disarticulated xenacanthiform, hybodontid and ctenacanthid shark tooth material from several Early Permian (Sakmarian–Kungurian) continental bone beds of northern Texas and southern Oklahoma as well as from the marine Middle Permian (Roadian) of northern Arizona. It affects us all… By some estimates, over 90% of the shark population has been lost in the last 30 years… There is a dire need for us as a human race to try and stop the devastation of the Great White Shark. He says he chose Oklahoma City because “illegal shark fin hunting effects the people of Oklahoma. I looked up the guy White Mike who seems to have met up with Alba in Oklahoma City, and he’s been involved in similar campaigns in Washington, DC and Los Angeles. TMZ has more of her statement, and she added “I sincerely apologize to the citizens of Oklahoma City and to the United Way for my involvement in this incident.” (One of the shark posters was pasted over a United Way advertisement.) It looks like she got a huge thrill out of it and didn’t realize what the hell she was doing. Here’s what I think happened – Alba was bored hanging out in Oklahoma city, and met some hot activist guys who convinced her to help them and pose next to the posters while they took her picture. The photos then disappeared from the White Mike blog. He didn’t to identify Alba by name, but a police report clearly describes the photos of Alba that later appeared on a blog for the conservation group White Mike.Ī city worker found the group online, and a local news Web site called posted the Alba photos Monday. Knight said the 3-by-2-foot posters of great white sharks were slapped on a bridge, electrical boxes and on a United Way billboard. “It will be assigned to a detective, and then we’d send it to the District Attorney’s office.” “It’s basically a vandalism case that could involve our new tagger laws,” he said. Gary Knight of the Oklahoma City Police told the Daily News on Tuesday. “A number of shark posters were placed around downtown with heavy-duty glue, making them darn near impossible to get off,” Sgt. Her mea culpa came after police opened a probe into the giant shark posters and online photos that showed Alba with buckets of glue at the vandalism sites. “I realize that I should have used better judgment and I regret not thinking things through before I made a spontaneous and ill-advised decision to let myself get involved with the people behind this campaign.” “I got involved in something I should have had no part of,” the “Fantastic Four” actress said in a statement Tuesday. Alba’s apology explains that she didn’t think things through and “got involved in something I should have had no part of.”Ī red-faced Jessica Alba is apologizing for plastering shark-conservation posters around Oklahoma City – a stunt that sparked a police investigation. She then posed for photos standing next to the confusing posters, which were just pictures of scary looking sharks with no message.Īpparently she was trying to help promote shark conservatism in land-locked Oklahoma, which has no great white sharks in any of their aquariums that I could find. Alba used industrial glue to paste posters of great white sharks around downtown Oklahoma City. Jessica Alba has issued a public statement apologizing for a bizarre act of guerrilla activism in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where she is filming the thriller The Killer Inside Me.
