Ammonites ruled the seas for 400+ million years! 🐚 Their spiral shells worked like natural submarines, helping them glide through prehistoric waters. They survived multiple mass extinctions before vanishing with the dinosaurs but their fossils still captivate today. #HMNS

A T. rex with an extra hand bone?! 🦖 Meet Wyrex, the only known T. rex with a third metacarpal. This small bone may be a leftover from its three-fingered ancestors. It might have helped stabilize the palm or had no purpose at all. Evolution’s echoes make nature full of surprises! 👀🦴
