Silurian acanthodian scale. Possibly Nostolepis gracilis taxa. From Silurian, Pridoli, Lithuania (EU). Preparing for my Master's 2nd semester work presentation. Sadly I have found almost no acanthodian fossils (yet), so I could not go and take better pictures (with SEM).Hope to gather at least 20 scales before going there.

I am trying to identify fossils in these thin sections of Silurian sedimentary rocks from Lithuania. Any ideas? I am still learning and lacking so much in experience… 🥺
I think I got the Crinoids right and some Bryozoas, but that’s it.
.
Also, next to these there are some nice cathodoluminescence photos of the same thin sections 🤩 You can see growth zones in them!

Pretty view from the eye of the microscope ❤️
Silurian - Pridoli
Lithuania (EU), Milaičiai borehole ~1km deep
Pyrite, broken shells and etc...

Fossils from Lithuania. Silurian period, Pridoli.
Still searching for acanthods in the samples for my Master's thesis.

Happy birthday Esther Applin (middle)🎉 🥳🎊

—in 1921 Esther suggested that could be used in stratigraphy, but was ridiculed: “Gentlemen, here is this chit of a girl... telling us that we can use to determine the age of formation. You know that it can’t be done”

Oh yes it can! On top of being used to date crucial events in our planet's history, have revolutionized our understanding of past climates, & has created thousands of jobs globally!

Not , but I'd like to kick off mastodon by introducing this beautiful called Globobulimina, a microfossil that I'm using to reconstruct bottom water temperatures changes in the last 30.000 years at intermediate depths of the eastern North Atlantic 🧐🐚🔬the from the past has a lot to tell us :ablobattention: :ablobcatbongo:

So I did an post when I was on the mastodon online server. But now that I'm on flipping.rocks, I've lost that, so...

Hi there! I am a and . I work with to understand ancient and modern environments/climate and human modification to these environments ( ). I am also interested in , and spend a lot of time recording and - , etc. I’d love to meet like-minded people :)

Use of in Climate Science

The understanding of past changes in and circulation is to a large extent based on information from marine sediments.
Marine deposits contain a variety of , which archive (paleo)-environmental information, both in their floral and faunal assemblages and in their stable isotope and trace element compositions...
