Now, for a complaint: this is, quite obviously, a paleontology paper. It deals with taphonomy.

We had desk-rejections from two paleontology journals because of the actualistic experiments.

An editor told me the paper "had no fossils". We analyzed 306 fossils. So disappointing.

Here are some modern x fossil comparisons:
- winged mayflies with withered wing margins
- unlucky mayfly nymphs with disarticulated heads
- dragonfly nymphs with extended mouth apparatus

They are the *exceptions*. Most Crato Formation aquatic insects fossilized quickly and are well-preserved.

3 sets of comparative pictures. On top there's a winged mayfly in lateral view, with the wing margins withered. Next to it, a fossilized winged mayfly also with withered wings. In the middle there is a mayfly nymph that lost its head, next to a fossil showing the exact same disarticulation. On the bottom, a dragonfly nymph with an extended mouthpiece, and next to it, a fossil (but in ventral view) also with the extended mouthpiece.

New paper alert! In our new paper @plosone.org, lead author Arianny Storari collected, reared, and analyzed decay and disarticulation of hundreds of aquatic insects, and compared them to Crato Formation fossils to figure out what happened to them before they fossilized.

Taphonomy of aquatic insects from the Crato Formation Lagerstätte (Aptian, Lower Cretaceous) under an actualistic look

The Crato Formation (Aptian, Lower Cretaceous) is a fossiliferous deposit of global significance, representing a lacustrine palaeoenvironment which offers insights into aquatic insect taphonomy. Despi...

Are you sure about that? The paper says it is in the museum in Marrakesh.

Eu não ouvi o podcast na época, mas li a reportagem de agora, e tem muitos detalhes, o negócio é chocante.

Rolou sim, foram entrevistas feitas a um podcast de direita, aí muita gente da esquerda ficou em negação. Agora saiu numa revista grande, e com mais vítimas.

A Polícia ainda deu declaração de que o envenenamento dos dois meninos não tinha relação com o envenenamento, usando a mesma substância, dos outros membros da família. Que!

“El ocaso de los ídolos” es un libro de Nietzsche y una tesis en la que insiste con frecuencia: toda imagen idealizada está condenada a destruirse-La perfección del mundo o de los individuos es una ficción perseguida incluso por la filosofía en medio de una realidad fragmentario.
