@iszi and @dave_hone have a new episode out, about Dave's new paper about bite marks on sauropod bones. (The same paper Matt Wedel and Lei R, Tschopp E, Hendrickx C, Wedel MJ, Norell M also worked on, and Matt blogged about on @svpow.com )

#Fossils tell tale of last #primate to inhabit #NorthAmerica before #humans
The story of #Ekgmowechashala, the final primate to inhabit North America before #HomoSapiens or #Clovis #people, reads like a spaghetti Western: A grizzled and mysterious loner, against the odds, ekes out an existence on the American Plains.
Except this tale unfolded about 30 million years ago, just after the Eocene-Oligocene transition during which North America saw great cooling and drying.

Kuckaraukia (Organisms 🐞)
Kuckaraukia is a genus of enigmatic Ediacaran organisms known from fossil casts of a disc-shaped biogenic structure interpreted as bifoliate, with a structured bottom layer and a less resistant top layer. It is unknown if the fossils represent single animals or a colonial organism of some kind. == References...

This interactive website called Ancient Earth made by Ian Webster for The Dinosaur Database in 2018 is wild. It has a 3D view of Earth you can manipulate - you can grab the Earth and move it in any direction, zoom, etc.
You enter a location in the search field, it marks it with a 📍 and then you can change the date to see what fossils or dinosaurs were in an area (your area!) through all different periods of history.

Primitive, heavy-boned and reliant on megafauna, the sad story of Australia's only vulture
By Caroline Horn
Vultures are found everywhere in the world today, except Australia and Antarctica. But that hasn't always been the case.
Thaumatodracon – the 'Wonder Dragon' – is a large-headed plesiosaur I co-named with Ricardo Araújo in 2017. It is known from a single specimen, an almost complete skull and neck from Lyme Regis, UK.
The paper is difficult to track down and consequently doesn't get cited as much as I think it should. I worked incredibly hard on it so I've just uploaded a PDF to my website here: https://plesiosauria.com/pdf/smith&araujo_2017_thaumatodracon.pdf

For #FossilFriday meet an ancestor of today's cockroaches, mantises and termites. This lovely animal is Sysciophlebia, and lived ~295 million years ago, in what is today Germany. It was 3.6cm long, and was a female. How do we know?
Look at these absolute beauties. 300,000 year old fossils of winged ants from Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. To see the wing veins and antennae of an insect as old as our own species is pretty amazing.
What's even better? Look at the institutional credits of the two authors. I love it so much.

How Many #Fossils to Go an Inch? (ft. Robert Krulwich)
I went down to Cuyahoga
to buy a kookaloris
had to fake the dappled light
in the shadows of a forest
but the only kookaloris
in the town of Cuyahoga
was of a pterosaurus¹ flock
flying over beaches
with a thousand teethes eaches
but you know what they say
the play must go on
so I bought what was wrong
and we had to make it work
and Midsummmer Night's Dream
was stalked
by Mesozoic beasts
looming overhead
with their terrifying teeth
when I woke up, the semi-random playlist I fall asleep to had arrived at a chance aggregation of pterosaur podcasts:
Anurognathids:

how many atoms
of the dead
may one day upward flow
into a volcano?
if there were ghosts
would they still know
when those atoms
flew high
into the sky
ejected from a volcano?
would ghosts of ammonite
and trilobite
dance high up in the sky?
1/2
how often do you think
of all the dead things
whose corpses lie buried
on the bottom of the sea?
how many are headed
toward a subduction zone
where the sea floor
bends down beneath
another tectonic plate
and down, down, down
those dead things
will go
those corpses
turned to stone
to be melted
deep beneath
a subduction zone

sometimes the fossil poems
bring in likes
like herds of hadrosaurs
in their many beds of bones
sometimes they lurk unknown
like fossils deep beneath
a thousand meters
of ancient stone
sometimes they spread and thrive
sometimes they go down
subducted under tectonic plates
into the mantle
where they'll melt
sometimes they're stepped on
like something forgotten
on the floor
sometimes they never see
the light of day

Geoscience Australia were invited to tell the stories of the beautiful architectural #stone from around the world used in the design of the building (see examples in the picture). We also threw in some local rocks and #fossils and some of our awesome interactive tubs. It was a busy day but always interesting to talk to the public. Big thanks to the GA and APH organisers for a great day!
