PalaeoPoemsさんのイラストまとめ

When a sorceress resurrects an ancient bird, it finds the weather too cold and cruel to bear, much to the dismay of a geologist witness. "The Sandstone Bird" by Edward Hitchcock is a truly dramatic tale! Artwork by @Zooophagous.

"Monsters of the prime...
Who tare each other in their slime"
When T.C. Weston went dinosaur collecting in southern Alberta in 1884, the fossil-strewn Scabby Butte locality inspired him to write down this short poem. Artwork by @KatrinEmery

Nancy P. Morris (later Tupholme) signed on as a Clerk at the @geolsoc in 1940. She played a vital role in protecting the Library and Archives during WWII. When the building was bombed in 1941, she even had to toss glass out the building and chase after papers down the street!

Need a bit of #SciArt this morning? Read/listen to "The Petrified Fern," by Mary Bolles Branch on your coffee break! The moral of this poem is that no matter how inconsequential your efforts may seem, they'll be appreciated in time. #PalaeoPoems #PaleoArt

@Zooophagous @securitanna @WensThomp @Brigidomorpha In the poem, a geologist laments that he cannot see the bird that made the tracks. Luckily a sorceress decides to summon the bird. It complains about the weather and the size of the creatures on Earth today, then dives back into the ground. Art by @Zooophagous #TheropodThursday

@Zooophagous @securitanna @WensThomp @Brigidomorpha Orra White Hitchcock illustrated the trackways for Edward's lectures at Amherst College. These Triassic footprints were thought to be made by giant birds, "Ornithichnites," but we now know that they were made by theropod dinosaurs.

@Zooophagous @securitanna @WensThomp @Brigidomorpha Edward Hitchcock, husband of natural history artist Orra White Hitchcock, wrote a scientific description of the dinosaur trackways in the Connecticut River Valley. Shortly after, he published "The Sandstone Bird" under a pseudonym ("Poetaster").
