Dinosaurs were nearly wiped out 66 million years ago, long before the start of the Quaternary ice age. However, #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge shows that the few surviving dinosaurs (birds) would go on to become highly successful. Let's meet the ice age dinosaurs featured in the series! 🪶🧪

Mary Anning got a few mentions today, but it was 215 years ago today that everything changed for the Annings, the day her father was buried. The family had been doing well & business was good. Richard was a man with plans. Suddenly they were in debt with no means to pay. Then Mary found an ammonite.

I'm liking all the theropods so far! 😁 And now I'm struck by the urge to listen to @heapsgood.bsky.social music for some reason.

The latest episode of the Palaeo Jam podcast has dropped in which I chat with Dr Jim Gehling about Ediacarans and his remarkable life in palaeontology, and how it all began in remote Australia.

“We go after the women..”
What an abhorrent organisation the ATO is! 🤬
I, like many others in difficult relationship breakdowns, have experienced financial abuse. This is a really important story - because of how overlooked it is by our institutions and agencies. And that debt that isn't yours stays with you, along with everything else.

Another day, another inexperienced but hopeful writer, announcing that they have “been offered a book deal” for £20,000. Turns out that the author is being expected to PAY THIS to the publisher, not the other way round. Folks, no publisher does this.
