A very nice paper with wonderful fossils. Some of the specimens (most of ?) are hosted in our collections ;) Quercy specimens have a crazy preservation (3D mummified toad and salamander with last meal in the belly) !!!

When scientists brought Pokemon back from the dead using rare fossils fragments, the rock within the samples infused with the DNA. This made them all part rock type and created Pokemon that looked very different from their ancestors.

I was today years old when I learned that these 4 pokemon, who you get by taking fossils and resurrecting them in a certain order, are based on the real practice of paleontologists putting parts of different dinosaurs together to one-up each other in discovering new species.

The Gem Fossil, Galea Fossil, and Tail Fossil. They are the first trio of fossils that can be dug up in the Agrios Region! What prehistoric creatures do you think could be revived from these?

Round 2 - Awakened Fossils

Death was merely a setback.
As the explosives shattered the cavern wall,
The Sleepers opened their eyes.

I'm going to share a few ammonoid artworks from my archives for Ammonites were once so plentiful in ancient seas that they're used as index fossils, but are now extinct.

NEW: The Trilobite! This creature can bite people 3 times, then it molts and leaves behind a shield.

P.S. Yes, it can also be found in mined fossils. :)

June 6, 1868, birthday of British Antarctic explorer Robert F. Scott. The fossils he collected - like the Glossopteris sp. 🌿 - on his last expedition to the Pole proved later continental drift 🌍 https://t.co/SvM8mBw9CE
