- Happy #FossilFriday I still can’t quite believe that I was lucky enough to have found this massive megalodon tooth.
- Carboniferous limestone packed with fragments of crinoid stems, plus one limpet. Near Beadnell, Northumberland. #FossilFriday
- Some decorative stones contain fossils. This 350 million year old limestone is packed with fragments of crinoid stalks, which resemble stacks of polo mints (other brands of mint are available). Foyer of the Physics Building, University Park @uniofnottingham.bsky.social #FossilFriday ⚒🌏🧪🔬⭐
- Congratulations to Dr. @ming-tfk27.bsky.social who had her PhD Viva today (and generously gave a public talk on zoom). So proud of her and her work on fossil and recent life in Antarctica, some of which even brought her back to PRI. #fossilfriday ⚒️
- Proceratopyge canadensis and Proceratopyge rectispinata are similar species of #trilobites from the Upper #Cambrian #McKayGroup of S.E. British Columbia. Both occur in the Wujiajiania lyndasmithae Subzone of the Elvinia Zone. #TrilobiteTuesday #FossilFriday #Palaeontology #Paleontology #PaleoSky
- A small brain didn’t stop ancient minds from thinking deeply. Burials, art, and memory aren’t exclusive to us — and they never were. #WOPA #SymbolicBehavior #FossilFriday #HomininCognition #PaleoPost
- An absolute unit of a gomphothere. Actually, I like that, the gomphothere unit. As in, I'll take 1 "gomphothere" of your finest lager please. #fossilfriday #dmns
- Happy #fossilfriday! 🦕 This is Patagotitan mayorum, one of the largest animals to ever walk the Earth, towering over a crowd of visitors at London’s Natural History Museum. This 2.76 tonne cast of the fossils discovered in Argentina was part of a 2023 special exhibition. #paleontology #dinosaurs
- A few photos for #FossilFriday —first, here is a beautiful pair of #Eocene Metasequoia (Dawn Redwood) fossil leaves from Canada's Driftwood Formation. #Paleobotany #FossilLeaves
- Lovely sections through the alga Solenopora portlandica on the Wilkins Terrace at #UCL in Bloomsbury, London. This is a patch reef facies in the Upper Jurassic Portland Stone. #urbangeology
- Some of the specimens from our new study published this week! www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.... #FossilFriday
- Happy #FossilFriday! My talk on restoring the life appearance of #Prototaxites has just been released on YouTube (youtu.be/_p4jmlj-Fkk?...), so to supplement it, I thought I'd make this quick reconstruction guide for Prototaxites loganii. Enjoy! #paleoart #sciart #paleontology #scicomm #fossils

- #FossilFriday some progress snapshots of my never-quite-finished Kaprosuchus portrait. I volunteer at the University of Chicago Fossil Lab, where Tyler Keillor’s iconic sculpture of BoarCroc is on display #paleoart
- Been working on King Tyrant promotional stuff today - continuing that with a #FossilFriday #paleoart post. Here's two T. mcraeensis (because of geography) alongside a motherflippin' volcano, because the old artists were right: SOME TYRANNOSAURUS ACTUALLY LIVED NEXT TO BIG VOLCANOES. #KABOOM! #sciart
- I’m over the Moon 🌝 this #fossilfriday to see that one of my papers made it to the front cover of @jaas.rsc.org @sgn.one @tuda.bsky.social @uccresearch.bsky.social @ucc.ie The image shows a new specimen of an extinct species possible related to extant nightjars. ©️ Anika Vogel, Marco Colombo
- New #paleoart of #Smilodon for this #FossilFriday, based on a colour scheme suggested almost 100 years ago. Find out what this is all about, see the image in high res, and read a big announcement about my next project at #Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/125286... #sciart #fossil #sabretooth
- For #FossilFriday, this week I was lucky enough to meet this chap at the Natural History Museum in DC. Protorohippus, or 'Dawn Horse', from the Eocene Green River Formation in #Wyoming. I remembered it getting featured on the PBS documentary 'Fossil Country', so great to see in real life. #geology
- Perfect arrival timing for @nhmbryozoa.bsky.social's new book this #FossilFriday! 🤗
- Welcome back to #Fossilfriday Here are Mosasaur jaw sections from probably Platycarpus. These specimens were collected from the Late Cretaceous (Santonian) Niobrara Chalk Formation in Trego, county, Kansas.
- #FossilFriday For our first social media posts, we highlight the iconic MB.Av.1010: a complete fossil of Archaeopteryx siemensii; a Late Jurassic species thought to be transitional between theropod dinosaurs & birds. On display at the Berlin Natural History Museum.

- It’s been a WHILE since I last posted anything and it’s even more ridiculous given the fact I only posted once before over here… Anyways, here’s an attempt of a Bambiraptor I painted for last year’s Dinovember. #FossilFriday #Paleoart
- There's a new shark in town, and—hey, I know that guy! Cosmoselachus mehlingi is named after Carl Mehling, Keeper of the Bones (not his official title, it's actually Senior Museum Specialist) in AMNH's Paleontology Dept, for "his indefatigable enthusiasm for all unusual vertebrates" 🧪🦈 #FossilFriday
