Just hanging out here with the holotype of Dinobastis (=Homotherium) serum. No biggie. The ANSP collection is a wonderful time machine back to 19th century paleontology. I'm sure I'll get to 21st century eventually, but please let me wallow in the past for a bit longer.

Sometimes you 'just know' that you are in the right place. Like there's a sign or something.

I find it interesting that the first two catalog numbers in the ANSP collection are Cope-collected Columbian mammoths from Wellington, KS. Very nice mammoths they are too! @commondescentpod.bsky.social

Hey folks I want to Post More ... I curate fossil (non-cephalopod) molluscs at NHM London - does anyone have any curation or mollusc related questions for me? Any kinds of critters you'd like to see more pics of? I can't guarantee I'll answer everything, but I'll try!

An Indigenous mound built on the Lower Illinois River 1500yrs ago. Main river channel is behind the mound. In wet years, the surrounding flat landscape is flooded, mounds rising above and reflecting off of the water. I’d suspect this was absolutely intentional #archaeology #ecology #history

Here we have one of the top reasons to stop publishing anything as Supp Info to be hosted on the journal's site (it is a bad practice for many other reasons: no DOI, unclear copyright, no clear retention/preservation = not considered FAIR). Everything should be in a repository!
