Darwin's friend Frederick William Hope told him 'from sending home the much desired bones of Megatherium your name is likely to be immortalised' find out more about this extinct giant ground sloth this #FossilFriday https://t.co/Qz5eMx30Nb #charlesdarwin #digitalmuseum

Remember, do not touch shiny fossils because they can include a curse inside of them

#Floral #Friday!
I wanted to find a #black plant to coincide with #BlackFriday so here's the closest thing I could find - a #fossil #plant
A very striking Sphenopteris artemisiifolia from 'Illustrations of fossil plants' (1877)

@Oysternomicon mostly fossil pokémon!! particularly archen/archeops cuz I know you like him and aerodactyl cuz he gets resurrected from... amber 👀
Paleontologists found Kepodactylus rather unexpectedly while digging up a Stegosaurus in the famous Morrison Formation of Colorado. #pterosaur #fossils #science https://t.co/rq5RoCxTqm
Fossil Ichthyosaurs like this one were first discovered in Europe in the early 1800s. Paleontologists studied the extinct marine reptile so often that reconstructions of it were displayed at the Crystal Palace during the World Exhibition of 1851. #SeaMonstersUnearthed

Megatherium is an extinct species of giant ground sloth. Charles Darwin Collected several fossils relating to Megatherium while exploring South America on the Voyage of the Beagle. (2/5) #SomethingBig #Museum30
@mark_carnall Last week we brought you snails that attach stuff to their shells. Today we give you a newly-discovered fossil green lacewing larva that attached soil to its body as an act of camouflage 130 million years ago.

Congrats to our research associate Jessie Atterholt & colleagues on their @thePeerJ paper naming a Mirarce, a fossil bird that lived in Utah around 75 million years ago! https://t.co/h1mus3xSMv (art by @GreyGriffon)
One of my biggest "paleoart pet peeves" is when trilobites are reconstructed as if someone just dropped their chocolate-brown fossils right onto the seafloor. If living arthropods are any indication, they were likely very diverse in color and patterning! #paleoart

For #FossilFriday: the slide that started our paper in Proc B! A jaw cross-section of a therapsid shows some teeth fused in place and others suspended in sockets. That's because they are two stages in the lifecycle of a typical tooth! Mammals keep teeth in the "earlier" stage.
Another great coloring on my #twitchstream last night: a snapshot from Leonardo Da Vinci's childhood, discovering an ancient whale skeleton in a cave!
Inspired by a story written by fellow #scbwi member Kate Lynch.

"Lithographica" is a vintage-style depiction of some of the biodiversity of the Solnhofen Limestone, a bountiful fossil formation in Germany. I wanted to show what a naturalist might have seen walking amongst the islands and lagoons of Jurassic Europe.
