Just thinking about how, in the late 1840s, this aeronaut spent hours of his free time, sometimes whole days, wading in New York Bay at dawn, collecting seaweed specimens with which he illustrated this book.

Continuing updating database records for 🌏 bird type specimens and reached this beautiful nightjar. Sadly the species is now Critically Endangered https://t.co/0TKxPYoub4. The type was apparently captured when it flew into the bedroom of a house near Nouméa in 1880.

Edmontosaurus was part of a group of dinosaurs called the Hadrosaurs. One species, E. regalis, sported a fleshy “crest”! We have many well-preserved specimens of this charming dino, even possibly preserving their patterning!

As mentioned before, megalodon was an active predator which prowled Cenozoic pelagic/coastal ocean waters. We know this from multiple specimens scattered across the globe in sediments indicative of such environments (map credit: Smithsonian Institution).

A very nice paper with wonderful fossils. Some of the specimens (most of ?) are hosted in our collections ;) Quercy specimens have a crazy preservation (3D mummified toad and salamander with last meal in the belly) !!!

Watched The Collection (2012) the great follow up to 2009's The Collector. This time bug enthusiast maniac "the Collector" isn't doing house calls he's practising mass slaughter in his own warehouse where he keeps his collection of specimens. Really ups the ante from the first👍
