I have shared
the fossil poems
that were in
the archives
and which
you were probably
hoping
would never be read
Forgive me
they were ridiculous
so earnest
and so nerdy.

Mary held the colonial and capitalist ideology that everything and everyone has a worthwhile purpose, and that they can be "useful." Even the littlest fern may take millions of years to prove it's worth, but with a little help may prove useful to science. (Art by @fatty_box)
New #PalaeoPoems post out tomorrow! "The Petrified Fern" by Mary Bolles Branch is about how time may reveal the worth of an apparently "useless" thing, like a very small fern. Featuring super awesome guest art by @fatty_box! #PaleoArt #SciArt #PaleoBotany #WomenInScience
Appreciation post for our graphic designer, Katrin Emery (@commababy)! She's been with #PalaeoPoems from the beginning and has contributed both the logo and guest art. She works with scientists to create eye-catching graphics, and provides website and poster design consultation.
Thanks so much to @commababy for the amazing artwork that accompanies this blog post! #SciArt #PaleoArt
Every #FossilFriday, we challenge you to write your very own #Palaeopoems. This week's #PalaeoPoemsPrompt is Hypacrosaurus, so let's hear your poems in the comments!

Thomas wrote his poem about the dinosaur bones at Scabby Butte, like this Hypacrosaurus skull beautifully illustrated by @commababy for the blog post! #paleoart #dinosaur #hadrosaur
The next #Palaeopoems blog post is out on Thursday, and features the poem that first inspired the project! Written by Geological Survey of Canada fossil hunter Thomas C. Weston, the poem is a short-and-sweet ode to Victorian ideas about dinosaurs. #sciart #paleoart
