For those who wondered about the tortoise piece yesterday: I finally found a paper that gives some information on this matter. The remains speak for a roughly max. 140 cm long shell, but of course there could have been larger specimens ;)

More evolutionary insights from the a new species of Mollisonia described by Aria and curator J-B. Caron. I remember seeing some of these specimens before they'd been prepared, absolutely unreal levels of appendage details revealed!

in 1908, a pickaxe struck the side of a remarkable skull. It was the discovery of the Neanderthal known as the Old Man from La Chapelle, one of the most important specimens in the history of paleoanthropology. https://t.co/PZpEKfSiqe

The first images Europeans saw of Birds of Paradise were drawings from dead specimens. The legs had been cut off so for years people thought they were legless and were perpetually in flight.

Pterosaur feathers
by

Pterosaurs are known to have been covered in hair-like pycnofibers. Two specimens of anurognathids show that some pycnofibers were brush- or tuft-shaped and probably share an evolutionary origin with feathers.

I’m jumping on the right about… now. I’m Daniel. I’m a production artist at a Boston-ish game studio, but I also like to illustrate weird museum specimens. Also blobfish. https://t.co/mWTfowhxQL

The term "printer's devil" describes a person, often a boy, who is not quite yet an apprentice in a printing establishment, and is given tasks including mixing ink and gathering type. (1/7)

(This devil with a composing stick is from the 1900 ATF Desk Book of Type Specimens.)

days 29 & 30 are Melanotaenia boesemani (boesemani rainbowfish) and Iriatherina werneri (threadfin rainbowfish)! I took some liberties with the colors but it's still possible to find specimens with coloration similar to this! They are boyfriends. 🌈🐟🧜‍♂️💖🧜‍♂️🐟🌈
