A fossil I found on Cape Breton Island a few years ago. I think it’s seaweed, but no idea what kind. I have another which looks like a broad strand of kelp. #fossil #fossils #seaweed

A rough, circular, flat stone, about the size of a big cookie from a café. The top is deeply scored with a seaweed pattern.

It’s a #lostbones #FossilFriday! 🐂🦥🐴🐘🐪🐟🍃 A revisit to the Bison skull at the Anoka County Historical Society in central MN! This time for skull metrics. The skull, discovered in the 1970s, has a 72cm core span.

It turns out the peat-bog bovid had some friends. After working with staff, we found the collection has partial remains of up to four bison - four right mandibles!

Researchers have discovered up to 10 previously unknown species of now-extinct trilobites in Thailand's least explored region.

Fossils hidden for 490 million years were uncovered by researchers from the University of California along the coast of Ko Tarutao island. This discovery has the potential to bridge gaps in our knowledge of animal life during the late Cambrian period, spanning between 497 and 485 million years ago.

#Fossil found on the side of the road is a new #species of #mosasaur
In 2015, Deborah Shepherd notified a park ranger about an exposed fossil. That ranger notified ND Department of Mineral Resources. Her actions led to discovery of what scientists say is not only a new species, but an entirely new #genus of mosasaur, a giant marine predator from #Cretaceous seas. Bite marks preserved on fossil suggest that it met its end at the hands—or rather teeth—of another mosasaur.

Ein Jahr, in dem auch die klimabedingten Katastrophen weiter zugenommen haben, hätte auch für die Bundesregierung eine Chance sein können, Klimapolitik zu forcieren, zu begründen und mehrheitsfähig zu machen. Stattdessen wurde Klimapolitik von fast allen Seiten als Katastrophe geframt und abgeräumt. Wie ist das passiert und was folgt daraus für Sie?
Wenn wir mal für eine Sekunde annehmen, dass es nie ums Klima und Moleküle ging, sondern immer auch um Demokratie, Macht, Gefühle und Kultur, dann sind wir sofort an dem Punkt, dass man als Kanzler oder sagen wir Vizekanzler die besten Argumente für das beste Gesetz der Welt haben kann, aber gegen Wände läuft, wenn man keine Geschichte dafür hat, wie uns das als Land an einen besseren Ort bringt. Wir haben auch gesehen, was passiert, wenn Klima als Nischenprojekt eines einzelnen Ministeriums verstanden wird oder gar als Privatprojekt von Robert Habeck. Da steckt ein Teufelskreis der Ampel drin.

"#Strigilodus tollesonae may have lived like a modern skate, feeding on #snails, #bivalves, soft bodied #worms, and smaller #fish."

🇨🇦 Canadian cops are attacking, arresting, and intimidating indigenous peoples at the behest of #fossil fuel companies so that they can build Yet Another Pipeline through BC. It's a war that needs fighting and the Wet'suwet'en are fighting it. The least we can do is have their backs: https://chuffed.org/project/yintahlegal

Fossilised footprints of a wee beastie on the shore of Auchenhew Bay, Isle of Arran.

The rock (Auchenhew Mudstone Formation) was formed 252.2-237 million years ago during the Triassic period; the bedrock is cut by the dykes from the North British Palaeogene Dyke Suite which was formed 66-23.03 mya.

A series of faint parallel marks run from lower left to top centre in this photo of an area of Auchenhew Mudstone (which looks and feels like sandstone).
A phone resting on the bedrock to give scale to the fossilised footprints. 
(The phone is 167mm x 80mm.)
Two parallel lines of circular depressions run from top to bottom in this photograph of a sandstone-like flat rock.
Here, the marks run left to right. The boot (size 43) provides some sense of scale.

Today I explore one of my coral stones. The fossilized skeletal ruins of a community, a city of tiny clones building ribbons of walls that now gleam like bones bleached in the sun.

#nature #fossil #coral #ocean

A stone the color of bone, with ridges that are smooth on top and gleam like teeth. Between the ridges are canyons of  open tubes, branching from a central line that is bumpy and ridged, making the canyons resemble vertebrae with delicate rib like structures branching in a skeletal pattern.
Another angle of the top, a little closer. Tiny grains of mineral speckle the inside of the tubes, which look like cutaways as their edges rise up to meet the top of the smooth ridges.
The underside of the stone. The edge waves like ruffles, smoother like the top of the ridges, but with vertical streaks of ridges where tubes that eroded away may have been. The crevices show more vertical cutaways of tubes sprinkled with minerals, and the underside shows a network of open holes where the tubes rise through the city.
Another view of the underside, showing the patterns of waving rows made by the holes at the base of the tubes. Some seem to be larger caverns, with smaller tubes lining the rows around them.

This week for #Fossilfriday we have another #Guess that #Lego #Fossil.

This one I would rate as super easy. This large theropod is probably the most famous of them all.

Reminder: hide your answer behind a CW. This will allow others to guess without a hint. I will post the answer tomorrow (and to anyone who guesses correctly).

Given that so much of the #Fossil was preserved, this does suggest #Fujianvenator was a wader, like a really violent #Sandpiper.

"‘Weird’ #Dinosaur Prompts Rethink of #Bird Evolution

"A newly described fossil is as old as the “first bird,” #Archaeopteryx, and represents a #Birdlike dinosaur that might have specialized in running or wading instead of flying..."

One of my wiwaxia for #InverteFest!

This is a handprinted Wiwaxia, a half billion year old soft-bodied animal covered in scales and spines. These animals lived in the early and middle Cambrian period and fossils are found worldwide, including in Canada's Burgess Shale. The animals themselves were only about 5 cm (2") but my linocut prints are much bigger.

Linocut print in back ink on cream coloured washi paper with bark inclusions of a wiwaxia - a soft bodied animal shaped like a dome covered in scales with two rows of 6 tall spines along its back. The scales and spines are collages with coloured and patterned Japanese papers. The spines are slate grey and scales are all sorts of colours and patterns.

I'm happy to announce that my new paper on 'Plesiosaurus' bavaricus, an enigmatic plesiosaur from the Toarcian Posidonia Shale of Germany, has been published today.
Many thanks to my coauthors @erdgeschichten and Daniel Madzia.
