Every Sunday I sit down to look at what's coming up for tweets—and this is easily one of the most exciting weeks of the entire year. Buckle up, friends! So many fossils, so much history...

Fuelled by imagination! ✨ We wouldn't like to be chased by this one... fabulous illustration from one of our young artists inspired by 's fossils collection.

thanks to early Spanish colonists in the 1500s, we know of Aztec, Inca, and other ancient oral traditions about discoveries & interpretations of large vertebrate fossils
How to this?

In probably the most wholesome video we will ever make, I show off my little fossil museum in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The fossils in this game are really well done, and there's some surprisingly obscure specimens!

World's richest 10% produce half of global carbon emissions.
The more stuff you own, and the more you travel, the more fossils fuels are burned, and the more greenhouse gases are emitted into the atmosphere.

I remember reading Michael Crichton Jurassic Park: The Lost World. He describes the baby Tyrannosaurus rex as looking like a turkey.

He wasn't wrong. Nice post about baby T. rex fossils. (Art Julius Csotonyi)

Few fossil samples preserve evidence of the postcranial skeleton in abundance, but Homo naledi from the Dinaledi Chamber is one of them. These fossils are only around 250,000 years old, but the scapula resembles some of the earliest known hominins.

One of the branches of the tree can be traced today as far as 4.1 million years ago, at Kanapoi, Kenya. Here, the track becomes unclear. What was the origin of the Australopithecus line, and how does it connect to fossils like Ardipithecus?

MPAR S6 Week 8: Fashion Fossils

lmao i forgot to post this but i was inspired by rorschach tests and wanted to use the pattern of them to give the illusion of shape in the torsoe since my assigned piece did not have shape and this is my fav face and hair ive ever done

Oho how do I choose?? Uhh, how about two faves?

Vetris Lumois is my oldest character creation wise, and is one awful AI put onto the resuscitated body of a seadweller.

Basalt Pteran is a thousands of sweeps old, a paleontologist and has had a lifelong hyper-fixation on fossils!

Well they're not fossils, but we've already got a mammoth, and those things only went extinct 3700 years ago. At this rate, there'll be human-based Fossil Pokemon a few generations from now lol. Now that I think about it, a Neanderthal Pokemon would actually be pretty awesome.

Type: Rock/Water

In prehistoric times, it swam on the sea floor, eating plankton. Its fossils are sometimes found.

Some fossils can become pyrite, a form of mineral mistaken with gold. This happens mostly to precrambrian fossils, like ammonites and trilobites, so I made this of & with pyrite shells, both are water/steel type

since hair can't be preserved in fossils we can't rule out the possibility that Fossil Pokemons looked like this

Hi! I’m Shanley and I guess I like to draw anatomy and fossils. Happy !

Students of evolution quickly pick up the differences between big-toothed Paranthropus boisei and our genus, Homo. Yet there are still anatomical overlaps between these lineages that make some of the fossils from Koobi Fora challenging to interpret.

A lonely Diplodocus longus (double beam) crosses a mirror-like flooded salt flat. Classifies as Saurischia, Sauropodomorpha, Sauropoda, Diplodocidae, Diplodocinae. Its fossils were first discovered in 1877 by Benjamin Franklin Mudge and Samuel Wendell

Fossils of Australopithecus and Homo were all obligate bipeds, but their pelvic remains do exhibit some differences. Australopithecus sediba blurs the boundary. With its Homo-like pelvis, this species may be a closer human relative.
