‼️Research Alert‼️ Incredible mistakes by predatory gastropods: holes made from the inner side of a bivalve shell. 🙃 😃 First two instances from the fossil record. It's very rare though!

For #FossilFriday meet Dunbaria. Isn't this fossil gorgeous? It was found in ~285 million year old rocks in Elmo, USA. It's a member of an order called the Palaeodictyoptera. Those patches you can see on the wings represent the colouration of the wings in life, preserved in a fossil 🤯 ⚒️🧪🦀🦑 #evosky

#MolluscMonday Limpets on the shoreline near the Espegrend Marine Station in Bergen where the weather looks set to be fine for this week’s workshop on bryozoans.

CONFIRMED: Trump has banned Associated Press from the White House & Air Force One for refusing to use the term “Gulf of America”. The WH Press Sec accuses them of ‘pushing lies’. At this point, EVERY reporter should have walked out. If the media won’t defend the 1st Amendment what are they for?

What happens when Valentine's Day and #FossilFriday collide? Hippopodium ponderosum (plate 61) by George B. Sowerby (1812-1884). We ❤️ fossils. #LoveIsAllAround View his full collection of 148 watercolours via our #DigitisedCollections https://buff.ly/4hzvfgF #ValentinesDay #Conchology #Valentines

New #paleoart to accompany a new paper on the skull of Vegavis, a Mesozoic bird that seems to be closely related to modern waterfowl, pushing the ancestry of modern birds into the Age of Reptiles. Link to paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #sciart #dinosaurs #birds #evolution

Phyllochrysa may have also been mimicking Selaginella, which was later identified from the Myanmar amber by Schmidt et al, 2022. This is a diagram I made for a blog in 2019, so it needs updating. Also, just a note: Myanmar amber is ethically horrible, and studies on it should no longer be supported.

This is a piece done before our #paleostream formation series started, I did it for purely educational purposes. The Jialingjiang formation is for me one of the most interesting Triassic formations, not just because it's the only place where we find hupehsuchians. #paleoart #sciart #triassic

A Pinaceae cone from the Early Jurassic (Sinemurian) of Belgium Schizolepidopsis gerriennei sp. nov. That´s a nice preservation www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5...

Not sure if #FossilFriday is a thing here, but just in case here's sunrise and sunset on a 4x4-cm landscape of brachiopods, bryozoans, and crinoid fragments from the Late Ordovician Ellis Bay Formation of Anticosti Island, Québec. Imaged with a Keyence vhx-7000.

In honor of the slow dental development #Dmanisi paper out this week, here is a nice shot of the maxillar dentition of Dmanisi 2700 #fossilfriday
