I'm happy to see that the A. jimmadseni name has finally been formalised. A truly wonderful set of specimens, congrats to Chure & Loewen! On a nostalgic level, it's also nice to see that good ol' "Big Al" has at last been formally assigned to a species! https://t.co/ZUkNeIUnTH

The Fossil Pokemon! They work a bit differently in this region; instead of being revived from a specimen encased in stone, the fossils in Norre are revived from specimens frozen in blocks of ice, making the part Ice type!

I really enjoy revisiting specimens and making new, better looking images out of them. Here is Labidesthes sicculus, a brook silverside. Really neat and, in my opinion, quite underappreciated. https://t.co/U6VBjNkRmT

Today's focus is the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, one of the richest fossil sites in the entire world. More than 3.5m specimens from over 600 species have been found here! 😮 So, why did so many animals meet their demise at & what can we learn from them?
