Pygidium of 𝘾𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙖 (𝘾𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙖) 𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙘𝙖 (Hahn & Hahn, 1973) showing shell preservation. Phillipsiidae Nötsch fm., Upper Viséan, Lower Carboniferous Badstuben near Bad Bleiberg, Carinthia, Austria #trilobites #fossilfriday
And here the hierarchies of life only start
Like modern arthropods, trilobites regularly moulted (shed their shells). The headshield split along sutures & broke apart (A, B) or came off completely (C). Most trilobite fossils are actually incomplete pieces of moulted shells! #TrilobiteTuesday Image: shorturl.at/imnw6
A pyritized enrolled and undescribed Phacopid trilobite from the Onondaga of New York, found and prepped by myself. 4th photo shows how it looked when I found it. #trilobite #fossil
#FossilFriday @cullen_thomas and I's new paper is out in Earth-Science Reviews describing the many biases that creep into your paleoecological research, how even minor decisions can have major downstream impacts and describe how to tackle these issues tinyurl.com/4y54tf6c 🧵👇
Never thought we'd see an infographic about conodont biostratigraphy in a piece about Barbie and Oppenheimer, but here we are. Also: conodonts are now officially horrifying jawless eels to me from here on out. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…
For #FossilFriday, our latest featured PalaeoPoem is a ‘Trilobital wonder’! Walter Garstang’s poem The Trilobites and After richly explores the evolutionary history of Arthropoda, the group that includes trilobites! Thrilling art @origamiPete!
Did you know corals have a microbiome just like humans do?🐙🦠🔍 Learn from the latest review of coral microbiome dynamics, functions and design in @NaturePortfolio by @spectacularia & Linda L. Blackall. nature.com/articles/s4157… @PaigeStrudwick
Today’s Exhibit of the Day? 🐛🐞🐜 The Museum’s Life on the Forest Floor Diorama. To create this up-close look—full of decomposing debris and hungry critters—Museum artists studied specimens under a microscope and then created models 24x larger than life!
Graptolites are often preserved in 2D, but in this beautiful nodule, the elongated stipes are weathered out to expose the serrated edges. These weren’t cutting surfaces though, instead housing tens or more little tentacled filter-feeding critters. #FossilFriday #MCZInvertPaleo
Darwin's Falkland Islands fossils, and their unexpected palaeogeographical, and tectonic reconstruction ramifications: lyellcollection.org/doi/10.1144/SP… "Darwin's fossils matched a coeval South African fauna, and as further collections were made the association was apparently strengthened"
Question: what is the most insane fossil in the world? Answer: the Holm preparation of Eurypterus. These are Wenlock (~430 Ma) sea scorpions etched out of limestone with nitric acid and mounted on slides in the late 19th century. LOOK AT THIS SHIT!
The July issue of #GEOLOGY is now available: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/geology/issue/… The cover study, 'Ammonoid extinction versus nautiloid survival: Is metabolism responsible?' explores metabolic rates of nautiloids & extinction survival: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/ar… @AMNH @UZH_en @UTokyo_News_en
Busy preparing for the launch of Irish Fossils - Hidden Treasures, a showcase of the winners of the National Fossil Photo Contest 2023. It will be on display @CorkAirport & @corkcitylibrary Grande Parade & Mayfield in July. Check it out & let us know which ones are your favorites
Why read PalaeoPoems? Each PalaeoPoem is a time capsule! Not only does it paint a picture of an ancient ecosystem or animal, but it also reflects new findings and ideas by people about palaeontology through time!

Pleistocene shallow marine fan deposits exposed in a spot canyon. Southern Taiwan. These sediments are coming off the rapidly uplifting mountains of central Taiwan. Lots of preserved animal burrows.
