How about this remarkable Ammonite from the Cretaceous Period for #FossilFriday ? Another Western Interior Seaway find, this time from near Alberta 🇨🇦

Alethopteris, a seed fern from the Carboniferous swamp forests 300 million years ago. This specimen is from Kansas. The fossils are on undulating bedding planes, and the specimen has beautiful brown tones (I'm used to darker, flatter UK coal measures material!)

For #FossilFriday a sacrum from a medium sized iguanodontian in the collections of @nhm-london.bsky.social. Found at Sudmoor Point on the #IsleofWight by Reginald Hooley a wine merchant from Southampton who also discovered the fabulous Mantellisaurus in 1914. Iggy sacra are so aesthetic.

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

New #paleoart for #FossilFriday: the giant Meganeuropsis hawks Dunbaria in Early Permian Kansas, reaching to trap it with long, spiny legs. This image is set at the coast to reflect the marine occurrences of Meganeuropsis and Dunbaria fossils - not all Carbo-Permian insects lived in swamps! #sciart

Outside Gideon Mantell’s house in Lewes after the #WealdenGeologicalAssembly. How he managed his patients, and some 250 home deliveries a year and still found time for the dinosaurs Iguanodon, Hylaeosaurus and much much more is hard to imagine. #FossilFriday

In February 1790 a baby was born in Lewes, Sussex who went on to discover the dinosaur ‘Iguanodon’. A tremendous Saturday at the #WealdenGeologicalAssembly with the Moon and Saturn shining over Gideon Mantell’s birthplace on the way to the pub!

Last weekend was my oldest's 21st birthday, and for her party we had to come as someone from the last 5021 years.
Here's me as Mary Anning. You can tell I'm her because I'm holding vertebrae from a plesiosaur and an ichthyosaur.

I don't know why this idea is suddenly flaring up online so early, but yeah, this time next year, Voyager 1 will be one light-DAY away – meaning it will take light a whole 24 hours to travel between Earth and the spacecraft. For comparison: Mars is a few light MINUTES from Earth!
