🦌🦥🐴🐘🐪 For #FossilFriday — Megaloceros giganteus, the Irish elk, which I was able to visit in June. Specimen USNM 7051 is masterfully mounted at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. The mount features a massive steel armature to support its nearly 3.4–3.6 meter antler spread. Studies show Megaloceros dropped and regrew its antlers each year. . . #pleistocene #megalocerosgiganteus #paleontology #iceage #giantdeer #citizenscience Skull mount photos credit: NMNH/Loren Ybarrondo

567-million-year-old fossils rewrite the dawn of animal life

A spectacular fossil site in Canada contains 567-million-year-old creatures that may represent some of the earliest animals to move, reproduce sexually, and develop recognizable body plans. The discovery pushes key evolutionary milestones back by up to 10 million years and suggests complex animal life may have first flourished in the deep ocean.

It is exciting to see snippets of Surviving Earth coming out from Impossible Pictures (see: https://www.instagram.com/picturesimpossible/) One of the clips released features Arctodus, the "short faced bear", here is my official design sheet, which was used by the production team. #Art #Painting #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #SciArt #SciComm #DigitalArt #Illustration #Palaeontology #Paleontology #SurvivingEarth #ImpossiblePictures #Arctodus #ShortFacedBear #TheDinosaurs #Dinosaurs

💁🏻‍♀️ 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

Where on Earth Was This Fossil 200 Million Years Ago?

Researchers have created an open-access interface that turns present-day locations into ancient coordinates with near-desktop-level accuracy.

Sotheby’s Big T. Rex Auction Raises Concerns Hype and Wealth Are Upending Science

Private buyers are increasingly outbidding museums for fossils. That’s making it difficult—or even impossible—for researchers to improve our understanding of the past.
