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 !!!

Based on fossils found by Mary Anning, this is Prehistoric Dorset, as imagined in watercolour by geologist Henry De la Beche, the first major scientifically-based pictorial representation of prehistoric life (1830). At R, later revised lithograph by George Scharf
I'm super excited to visit @PerotMuseum in a couple of weeks for a #scicomm conference centered around paleoanthropology! In addition to what promises to be a great discussion, I can't wait to see the fascinating origins exhibit (complete with #fossils on loan from South Africa).
I watched @Lockstin's video on the Galar Fossil Pokemon a while back and I just realized that the fossils I drew are exactly like what he said in his videos!
Then I realized today I haven't posted them so...
Dunklevish, Arctocidae, Dracorash & Velopazolt
“You might be wondering, how did it end like this?”
“Well, let me tell you how!”
Joke drawing I wanted to do, love the new fossils, despite them being the wrong halves, lol.

The fossils of the Galar region! ⚡️🌊

The Fossil Pokemon! They work a bit differently in this region; instead of being revived from a specimen encased in stone, the fossils in Norre are revived from specimens frozen in blocks of ice, making the part Ice type!

A new dinosaur has been unearthed, and it's the first of its kind
