I haven't done a #FossilFriday post in a while... New dinosaur on display at the NHM! Meet Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae. A two legged herbivorous dinosaur that lived 152-145 million years ago in the Morrison Formation, USA #fossils More info: www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

I missed this interview with me when it first came out in the January 2025 edition of 'First Break', the magazine of European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) 🤓

I found a fluorite frog friend in the collections the other day. We do have quite a few carved #minerals and it's always a nice surprise when I come across them while looking through drawers!

Over a year later and I've finally made a booking!

Defied the trans toilet ban in parliament and used the men’s 🏳️‍⚧️✊

The answer to this Guess the Gem is spodumene!! This mineral is an important lithium ore. #GuessTheGem #GeoscienceBluesky ⚒️🧪💎

this STILL funny.

My first #artwork in months - I wanted to try a geological "field" sketch - submarine fan deposits in the Cretaceous Point Loma Formation at Point Loma, San Diego, and overlying Pleistocene deposits. Locally, the PLF consists of repetitive sandstone/mudstone couplets. #watercolor #geology

In 2017 I wanted to create a thylacine reconstruction that I could be proud of. Last week this was achieved when I entered ‘Defiance’ into an international art competition. For now my work with thylacines is done; as I focus on other subjects. I’m so happy I made this. #SciArt🐡 #thylacine

ok ok so this my favourite study of the year so far! Researchers are arguing we redefine how we think about venom, and in the process have massively opened up what could be considered venomous! 🤯🧪 🪲 Shield bug? Venomous! 🐛 Aphid?? Venomous! 🐌 Garden snail??? VENOMOUS. www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

On top of the transphobia, the journalistic malpractice is changing a direct quote from a research live on air because you disagree with it.

First time growing strawberries! 😍🌱🪴

Come see me wrestle with the philosophical conundrum of what we measure and why and how, plus some stuff about geometry that hopefully would bewilder the teacher who kicked me out of high school math!

My art seems to have a theme 🤔 Various pieces from 2023-2025 Feel free to RT your own shapeshifting artwork!

I love this poem. Author is Laura Gilpin.
