A bunch of #fossils for #Fossilfriday, gifted to me by my colleague from the #zoologischesmuseumzürich. Due to incompleteness or lack of documentation they were deemed to not be scientifically useful, so rather than throwing them away to make storage room they decided to gift them for my private collection instead. At left is a piece of a #mammoth tooth, there‘s a few #ammonites and #brachiopods from Morroco and Switzerland and some #crinoid stems from #Spitzbergen. #paleontology #museums

“What if I were to purchase the #ManospondylusMonday hashtag as a disguise to show off some of my own blogposts? Ohoho, delightfully devilish, Sivgin.”
Here’s one it my favorites, where I try to defend #brachiopods against the ill words of some #fossil enthusiasts. It even includes a bit of #speculativeevolution at the end: https://www.manospondylus.com/2021/07/why-brachiopods-are-actually-pretty-cool.html?m=1

Less than a week before #Christmas , so out #fossil hunting during the only warm day of the week.
Location: #MineralWellsFossilPark #MineralWells ( #PaloPinto county) Texas.
#Pennsylvanian ( #Carboniferous ) reef deposit.
Lots of #crinoids and #brachiopods as usual. Quite a few #sponges and large stick #bryozoa (alas no veil bryozoa this time), and 3 distinct species of #gastropod.
