This is a nice plate of crinoids I picked up unprepped at a fossil show for $8. It was in a "junk box" and I could only see 2 of the 4 crinoids.
It turned out pretty nice.
It's from the Mississippian Gilmore City Fm. of Iowa. Four unique species of crinoids.

Here is a gorgeous piece of petrified wood belonging to the genus Schinoxylon. This comes from the Eocene aged Laney Shale Member of the Green River Formation from in Valley, Sweetwater
Co, Wyoming. This specimen has a beautiful vein of blue Chalcedony Quartz running through it.

Waning crescent moon & earthshine @5:51 today.
This shows earth's (albedo), which is brightest in spring due to snow/ice & caused by sunlight reflecting off earth's surface and then back onto the Moon, making the "dark side" softly visible (helps scientists study Earth's atmosphere and exoplanets).

Branching out into flowers, Louise Moillon makes a bold move. Tempered, though, by the more usual apricots.

Happy Trilobite Tuesday! Pictured is a 430 million-year-old Silurian Dalmanites caudatus from England. This 2.5-in- (6.4-cm-) long specimen was preserved in rock that, when carefully opened, revealed positive and negative splits! 🌗

“Instead of empathy deficit, autistic people demonstrate a broader moral concern, extending fairness beyond their tribes. Where researchers had assumed impairment, they found autistic people applying moral principles more consistently—even to strangers, even when costly.”
What the World Got Wrong About Autistic People
For decades, autism research compared autistic people to animals, denied them moral sensitivity, and assumed autistic traits made them miserable. All wrong.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of birds in their #natural habitat, here are two Red-billed Oxpeckers in a spot where they're frequently found - pecking on a hippo's back! A couple of terrapins have joined the party. Taken in Sabi Sands, South Africa.

A beautiful view of the wonderous Dun Briste sea stack...
Dun Briste provides us with a rare glimpse of the Carboniferous. (A 60-million-year-long period lasting from about 359 million to 299 million years ago)
