Primary school teacher Ellie Labbett reviews 'The Tyrannosaurs Feathers' by @JonathanEmmett and me, illustrated by @Stieven and published by UCLan Publishing: https://justimagine.co.uk/childrens-books-review/the-tyrannosaurs-feathers/

"The Tyrannosaur’s Feathers is a creative, informative and fun non-fiction book, and a certain hit for any budding palaeontologist in KS2."

Followed swiftly on with a diverse range of presentations on coralline algae #geology, #palaeontology & #biogeochemistry. Privileged to have #LivingLegends of the field André Freiwald, Juan C Braga & Julio Aguirre back-to-back! 😃

Palaeontology folks, I'm going to #2023SVP. I bought my early bird entry at the last minute. I'm looking forward to meeting people there: anyone want to start talking about meeting up? Anyone want to take a non-palaeontologist under their wing? I am there to chat about ethics, law, fossil markets, intellectual property, and your experiences. I'm also nice and fun...

Oh hey, great to catch you. Since I have your attention, check out these amazing #fossil #spiders. They're 165 million years old, and absolutely gorgeous.

"Canadian vertebrate palaeontologist, Aaron Kilmury, and a team of researchers from the University of Manitoba have published new research in PeerJ Life and Environment, unveiling the first-ever formal description of microvertebrate fossil assemblages from the late Cenomanian to middle Turonian periods in Manitoba, Canada".

For #FossilFriday meet Flagellopantopus - this is a fossil sea spider (=pycnogonid) which died and was buried on the sea floor 407 million years ago. Sea spiders are weird animals in general, and due to its long tail this is a particularly weird one.

Flooring in all Swedish early 1900s public buildings: limestone with orthoceratite #fossils.

#Palaeontology

Given I'm working on a paper on this little critter today, for #FossilFriday, let me introduce Arthropleura 🧪 This genus is famous for large (~2.5m long examples), but it's actually the smaller ones - such as this 305 million year old example from france - that are better preserved. Isn't it cute?
