It’s the “Mother of Paleontology,” Mary Anning’s, birthday! Born in 1799, she hailed from Dorset, England, & grew up collecting fossils. A few of her many accomplishments include unearthing one of the first ichthyosaurs & discovering Dimorphodon & Plesiosaurus!

I study palaeontology with focus on Pterosaur Evolution. Did SRS XRF chemical mapping on Eocenic Bird fossils for my masters. Also, I work as science consultant for PaleoPines and as an illustrator for 252MYA studio.

Mermay Day 16 - Horseshoe Crab!⁠
Living fossils, these ancient arthropods like to scuttle around the intertidal zone of shallow waters. A stray breaker may flip them over - be kind and pick it up by the edge of the shell to set it right again.⁠

The fossils from Caune de l'Arago, France, are around the same age as the large Sima de los Huesos sample of early Neandertals. Whether they represent the same population is not clear. They test our ability to determine relationships with morphology.
