In #paleoanthropology, we try to make careful use of #hominin fossil evidence that may not be beautifully complete but preserves valuable evidence about extinct species. DH4 is one of my favorite fossils, revealing the interaction of skull size and musculature in #Homonaledi
If you love Animal Crossing, fish, insects, & fossils what are you doing rn?? Go check out @beyondblathers page and podcast! I am so glad to have been a part of this and shared about one of my favorite prehistoric creatures, Plesiosaurus! 💙 #AnimalCrossing #fossils
When Robert Broom began to find #hominin fossils at Sterkfontein in 1936, the record quickly grew to encompass several individuals. The growing evidence at last brushed back anatomists who had maintained the Taung fossil must be a recent ape. #paleoanthropology
It's #FossilFriday, so I thought you might enjoy these Platybelodons 😃A proboscidean (group that incl. elephants🐘) that lived ~15-5 mya in Eurasia, Africa & N. America. These are in the Beijing Museum of Natural History. #Palaeoart by Nikolai Litvinenko. #mammals #fossils
Let's be real–fossils are AMAZING! To have a physical link to something that lived millions of years ago is so cool! 🤓
Inspired by that, I did a series of images recently for my portfolio, and I'm pretty thrilled with how they turned out. 🐚🐬🌊

DIRK: Maybe some day, when we're both old men, you can live a quiet life tending to your fossils, and I will do the same with my dear collection of simple-minded chat robots fixated on puppet ass.
ahhhh the good life

April 6, 1821, the description of the very first ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs by William Conybeare published. Both fossils were found by palaeontologist Mary Anning 🪨🔨

I am not a professional illustrator of extinct animals. When I was very small, I wanted to be a “scientist” and would use my Mum’s microscope to draw and catalogue what I saw in it. These days, I like to draw over fossils for a lark. These were for my Kid. #paleoart #illustration
i no longer thought of sun, moon, and stars, trees, houses, and towns, nor of any of those terrestrial superfluities which are necessaries of men who live upon the earth's surface. being fossils, we looked upon all those things as mere jokes.
#LagerstatteoftheWeek Juveniles of the ancient shark-relative, Bandringa, are found in the Mazon Creek concretions. The lack of adults and dominance of youngsters and egg cases suggest the area served as a nursery.

Two exciting #MuseumsJobs are available at @SedgwickMuseum! Good museum jobs are as rare as hens' teeth, which the Sedgwick almost certainly has fossils of in their collections. 🐔🦷 #MuseumJob https://t.co/pzd6S3NB7p
More wips of the carce map! This time zoom ins on a few notable areas; the Sunken District, a casualty to rising sea levels a good decade ago ; Whalers Row, carved from giant fossils half embedded in the island & the Centrum, a main hub of operations for the prison & its Wardens.
Some of the most significant #hominin fossil collections are those that represent at least some of the anatomy of several individuals. Most scientists interpret the fossils from Ngandong, Indonesia, as Homo erectus individuals just before 100,000 years ago. #paleoanthropology
@tyrannoraptoran Albian-Cenomanian North Africa has some really bizarre and diverse lifeforms. There are many largely unexplored formations that bear fossils from and around this time period that can give insight in how this complex place and it's inhabitants evolved over millions of years.
The fossils from Caune de l'Arago, France, were interpreted as the European H. erectus -- in part because the Arago 44 hip bone has a similar form to OH 28. This idea of H. erectus pelvic morphology was bootstrapped without any fossils connected to heads.
[ #GymLeaderRedesign ] A take on Roark if he leaned more to the fossil/archaeology side of Oreburgh City! He'll still help out around the mines, but you'll more often than not find him in the Underground, looking for fossils to be revived!
A year ago I was playing a loooooot of Animal Crossing! Miss taking new fossils to show Blathers ❤️
