Sharing a *real* mastodon on Mastodon (or selected replica parts thereof). These are shots from the Albert County Museum's new Hillsborough Mastodon display near where this 8-10 foot tall, 80,000 year old juvenile came to light back in 1936 #fossils #fossil #Mastodons #Pleistocene #paleontology #Palaeontology #museum #newbrunswick #Canada

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌍🧭 Researchers at the University of #Barcelona built a free web tool that converts current #fossil coordinates to where those locations sat millions of years ago. It runs five global plate tectonic models simultaneously and shows automated results nearly identical to desktop #software, with an average spatial error under 17 meters. 👉 https://scitechdaily.com/where-on-earth-was-this-fossil-200-million-years-ago/ #paleontology #platetectonics #paleogeography #universityofbarcelona #geology #map #science #earthscience #cretaceous

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌸🌿 #Utrecht University researchers studied drill cores from the #UK and Northwest #Europe to track #wildfires during the end-Triassic #extinction 201 million years ago. Using a new darkness index on #fossil pollen and a fern-to-fern #fire cycle, they found that #CO2-driven #warming collapsed #forests and let #ferns fuel intense repeated burns for up to 300,000 years. The ferns acted as both disaster colonizers and self-perpetuating wildfire fuel. 👉 https://www.uu.nl/en/news/triassic-inferno-fires-raged-across-europe-for-thousands-of-years-during-past-global-warming #triassic #massextinction #climate #climatechange #palynology #paleontology #geology #earthscience #globalwarming #research #nature #deforestation #science

The Oldest Evidence of Animal Sex Has Been Found, and It’s Mind-Boggling Scientists have discovered the oldest #fossil evidence of #sexualreproduction and locomotion in animals at a remote site in Canada’s Northwest Territories that dates back 567 million years to the Ediacaran period. According to researchers, the finding pushes the origins of animal sex back by 5-10 million years. https://www.404media.co/the-oldest-evidence-of-animal-sex-has-been-found-and-its-mind-boggling/ https://archive.ph/LMFqH

This may be the dumbest state constitutional amendment ever proposed by anyone, anywhere. Of course #Fossil Fuel interests are behind it. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/13072026/colorado-right-to-natural-gas-amendment/

https://larssona.substack.com/p/snatching-victory-from-the-jaws-of (defeat) 'Going back to our roots 'I am very lucky to have played a small part in a successful people-powered resistance movement, and it has informed my thinking as a campaigner ever since. 'In #Aotearoa New Zealand, the current right-wing government reversed our country’s historic ban on offshore #oil and #gas #exploration shortly after coming to power. They even went so far as to introduce fresh #subsidies to lure #fossil fuel giants back to New Zealand waters. 'And do you know how many oil giants have packed their bags and rushed back to drill? 'Zero. 'Why? Because the #grassroots and #Indigenous-led #resistance that won the political ban in the first place didn’t just change the law - they changed the culture. They created a permanent, hostile #risk profile. Oil companies now look at New Zealand and realise their social license is completely dead. The financial and reputational risk of fighting an organised public is simply too high. 'So, while #politicians give the #industry a green light, the people block the path.'

#52wochenfotochallenge #perspektivwechsel & #FotoVorschlag #beschirmt & #fossilfriday Bei der #Hitze und diesen Hashtags tauchen wir zur #Abkühlung mit einem #Fossil ins #Urmeer des frühen Devons vor 410 Millionen Jahren: Dies ist der Kopf der #Seelilie Scyphocrinites elegans. Seelilien sind mit #Seestern u.Co. verwandt, sitzen meist mit einem Stiel am Meeresgrund fest und grabschen mit ihren Armen im Wasser nach Nahrung. Die Bojen-Seelilie trieb stattdessen kopfüber im offenen Ozean! 🤸‍♀️

Hat jemand eine Ahnung, was ich hier am Ostseestrand in Mecklenburg gefunden habe? Das Stück ist weißer als auf dem Bild. Wahrscheinlich ein Bruchstück, wobei ein Ende plan ist. Es hat eine Länge von ca. 1,5 cm und einen Durchmesser von etwa 0,7 cm. Es fühlt sich leichter/weniger dicht an als ein Stück Donnerkeil von gleicher Größe. Bei den punktförmigen Vertiefungen längsseits scheinen immer zwei zu einem "Segment" oder ähnlichem zu gehören. 🤔 #fossil #versteinert

🇪🇺 The #European Commission has unveiled “AccelerateEU”, a package of short- and long-term measures to shield households and #businesses from rising #fossil fuel costs and reduce reliance on imports. Triggered by higher #energy prices linked to the Middle East crisis, the #EU has spent an extra €24 billion on imports without increased supply. The plan focuses on coordinated action among Member States, including fuel storage and emergency measures, alongside the creation of a Fuel Observatory to monitor supply. It proposes targeted, temporary support such as energy vouchers and tax relief for vulnerable groups and industries. Structural steps include accelerating electrification, expanding renewable energy, strengthening power grids and boosting investment, including private finance. The strategy aims to improve energy security, affordability and resilience by shifting towards clean, domestically produced energy. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_629

#fossil 📸 👉🏻 Inside the Natural History Museum in London, the skeleton of a Bradysaurus tells the story of how life first moved onto land. This early reptile represents a massive shift in history. To survive out of the water, it developed a strong skeleton to support its weight and waterproof skin to keep from drying out. It moved with a sprawling gait, using flexible wrist joints to navigate the terrain. Most importantly, it laid shelled eggs, allowing it to reproduce far away from the water. It is a humble-looking fossil, but it marks the very beginning of life on solid ground. You can read more about this UK's FREE museum on my blog 'Everything Enchanting' https://www.everythingenchanting.com/best-visitors-guide-natural-history-museum-london-tips-things-to-see-family-kids/ #reptile #skeleton #london #museum #fossil #uk #contentcreator #travel #travelphotography #everythingenchanting

#OpenBSD, #Exim and #Fossil SCM are the three systems where I tend to run "unstable" versions (snapshots for the first, and HEAD/trunk for the others), and those are way more stable than a lot of other "stable" software
