@paleochick @UtahPaleo @UtahBLM @SV_POW @Neffra_M The Fruita Paleo Area (FPA for short) is one of many amazing #MorrisonFormation localities that preserves such a diversity of fossils and geologic features that it can be difficult to make sense of. But one of the unique things about it is that it preserves tiny animals & giants.
Happy #ValentinesDay/#FossilFriday! We still don’t know how Radiodonts reproduced, but it probably started (at least in some species) during mass-moulting events, when large numbers of them got together to moult. See fossils of #Cambroraster, for example. (1/2)

All these fossils were very well preserved, and all had feathers: on the bigger adult’s tail, the smaller one’s legs and hips, and the juvenile’s neck and forelimbs.
No. 138: Omanyte
Spiral Pokémon
It was restored from an ancient fossil. Those Helix Fossils are excavated from areas that were once oceans long, long ago.
@postman_shadow Thank you for the chance!

I had this idea for a #fakemon a few days ago. I was reading about certain jellyfish fossils from beached jellyfish that absorbed all the sand. So we got these creepy Ground/Ghost Pokemon. I don't have names.

Kanna likes to collect fossils of all sorts! Do your characters like to collect anything? If so, what is it? 🐚

Scelidosaurus. Oil on canvas. One of Ireland’s dinosaurs. Fossils of Scelidosaurus have been found here in Jurassic rock #extinctirishanimals #extinct #wildlifepainting #wildlifeart
Giant ground sloths were pretty amazing creatures! Charles Darwin was the first European to find fossils of this beast, Mylodon. (Art @TabithaPaterson) https://t.co/0PQ2E3sldI
Fossils wouldn't have half their popularity if Fossil Fusion didn't look this sick
Nicolaus Steno was born #onthisday in 1636.
The greatest anatomist of his era, he dissected this shark head and proved the link between shark teeth and fossils. He also formulated the fundamental laws of geology...all by the age of 30, just to make you feel like a loser.

For #FossilFriday I'll share one of my favourite fossils:
Rhamphorhynchus flies over water.
Snap! Catches a fish.
Then (there's always a bigger fish) SNAP! get's caught by a Aspidorhynchus leaping out the water! But it's too chewy, entangles with the teeth! Oh no, all die!
For #FossilFriday a species I am working with right now! Ampelomeryx is a kind of "#punk #giraffe" with several ossicones that lived in Europe 18Mya. It possesses #sabertooth ... YES a punk giraffe with sabertooth !!!
