The @NMNH Fossil Halls re-open this Saturday, so I want to highlight some cool #DeepTime invertebrates you'll find in the early life area. First is Waptia, an awesome Cambrian arthropod that's sometimes preserved with its eggs (ecr and ecl below)!

#WormWednesday Reading an awesome acorn worm developmental bio paper. It can be so hard to find a clear drawing of a really specific structure (especially ones lost in ontogeny, like the juvenile post-anal tail); useful for my #DeepTime postdoc on their Cambrian cousins @NMNH
I love museum mounts where they peel away layers like this @NMNH one of a black caiman. I think it really helps put the skeleton in life-context more clearly for visitors, and its about as close as most people will ever get to dissecting some pretty awesome animals #museummonday
@danielledecarle Every vampire from Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, the whole movie is gorgeous. @ashinonyx @Michael_Foisy
I had a great time at #sicb2018 over the last couple of days, and got to spend some time at the California Academy of Sciences. Incredible design for galleries and displays, I could have spent another whole day in the aquarium alone.
#HardFacts Cephalopods have a modified arm to transfer spermatophores to females. This one's not having it: @ashinonyx @oisforoviraptor
