Also happy nameday to the dino known as Albertosaurus. This genus is one of the best studied and sampled Tyrannosaurs. It was named 120 years ago in the same article as Tyrannosaurus rex!

A white Livyatan is attacked by a large Megalodon #paleoart #drawing #megalodon #livyatan
An old albino Livyatan melvillei is attacked by a large pregnant Megalodon (Otodus megalodon). This old whale's meat will provide an upcoming mother with the nourishment her and her pups need.

While hunting for fossils, the unexpected is sometimes discovered. These finds can range from pottery shards to this fulgurite, or "fossil lightning," formed when lightning strikes the ground.

Woolly mammoths have two sets of tusks that grow continuously throughout life, about 6 inches per year. They have growth rings that are similar in appearance to growth rings of a tree. The rings can also be used to reveal which month the animal died.

Sure would be neat if someone were to remount this Uintatherium skull and it was flipped right-side-up for the first time in half a century yesterday 👀 #FossilFriday
Sorta rhino-like fossil skull with six knobs on its head and a huge canine tooth. It’s lying upside down in an undulating plaster cradle that matches the contours of the the top of the skull.

This fossil is of a lobed-finned fish named Osteolepsis macrolepidotus and was found in Scotland. The Devonian Period (named after fossils first found in Devon, England), is known as "The age of fishes" and was fish transformed into three major groups: lobe-finned, ray-finned, and sharks.
