#FossilFriday #NaturalHistoryMuseum #Paleontology
I'll be preparing four rattlesnakes tomorrow, so I'll dump my fossil Thursday evening.
This is a cast of a Naticidae, a predatory sea snail from the middle Eocene, San Diego County.
(The Eocene was 56 to 34 million years ago.)

“Recent studies have shown that some species of #scallop are drawn to #light, and this has resulted in an innovative new method of #fishing that is more sustainable: Instead of using a net to drag along the sea floor, fishermen can now use lobster pots equipped with little #LED lights, a bit like an #underwater disco.”

“#Sauropods are #dinosaurs that walked on four legs, had long necks and tails and ate plants... and the colossal crown goes to a group of sauropods called #titanosaurs. Introducing Puertasaurus, Patagotitan, and, perhaps the heaviest of them all, Argentinosaurus, weighing in at up to 70 tonnes, as much as 14 elephants.
“What allowed these titanosaurs to grow so big?”

For #TaxonomyTuesday I give you Tabanus autumnalis - the large marsh horsefly. As it’s name suggests it likes hanging around marshes! On the left is the female, & with his holoptic eyes the male is on the right. Males are really only interested in finding ladies & so to aid this are all eyes - a male on a mission with superior vision 😏
Nearly finished recurating the British Collection at the #naturalhistorymuseum - all data will be available online via the data portal

That graph indicated that the sea level has several times been around 70m higher than it is now during warm periods, but as high as 150m.

"The #NaturalHistoryMuseum’s legendary cetacean collection – a hoard of bones of 6,000 #whales, #dolphins and #porpoises, so valuable that the museum keeps the location under wraps – could hold the key to the long-term future of these species"

It’s a #WednesdayWonder sort of day
In the library of the #NaturalHistoryMuseum is The Natural History (Latin: Naturalis Historia) by Pliny the Elder - "My subject is the world of nature ... or in other words, life,"
This volume is from the second edition, printed in 1472 (approx 1,400 years after it was compiled). Bound in pig skin it’s incredibly fragile BUT what a book!
