I've just heard it's #FossilFriday

Have a toothy evening peeps!

For an animal that has its anus situated right next to its mouth, crinoids really do make some of the prettiest fossils 🖤 #FossilFriday

A #FossilFriday inspired by reports of exceptional northern lights (aurora borealis) earlier this week. Parts of #dinosaurs that probably saw the lights often in life! A trio of #tyrannosaur #teeth from well above the Arctic Circle, Alaska. #paleontology #fossils @PerotMuseum

We have been so spoilt in the last few weeks with several papers giving us updates on the ✨amazing✨ fossil hominins from La Sima de los Huesos, #Atapuerca. So for #FossilFriday, some images from this palaeontological treasure

RT @JulianPalaeoART
Finished for now!
Behold! The marvelous diversity of #Angiosperm leaves from the #Bahariya Formation of Egypt! These are all from #plants which coexisted with #Spinosaurus.

The archaeological work directed by M.S. Corchón has revealed an important Solutrean sequence with a wealth of archaeological material. It has also provided a remarkable Magdalenian sequence that houses the largest collection of movable art in the Cantabrian region.

#FossilFriday, a good moment to highlight the curious #microfossil Eohalothece lacustrina, a lacustrine cyanobacterium from the Meso-Neoproterozoic discovered in two different sites of same geological age: Torridon Group (Scotland, UK) and Nonesuch Formation (Michigan, USA). 1/2

Happy #FossilFriday!

This little bird came to rest at the bottom of a toxic lake 47 million years ago. As sad as that is, it makes for one fascinating fossil. #FossilFriday

It comes from the famous Messel Pit Quarry in Germany. It is in the collections of the Hessisches Museum in Darmstadt.

Happy #FossilFriday, here’s some glorious Carboniferous limestone from Fife 🖤

A happy #FossilFriday from this smiling amphibian.

This stunning fossil preserves the soft parts surrounding the bones. It comes from a site in Germany and is around 295 million years old.

On display at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center.
