Check out the Time Scavengers blog for Geology information of this area! #collectionsite

How can you tell egg versus oval rock?
-
@sadie-mills in this case, the egg was drained by humans so it is just the shell! There are other things for specimens that have undergone more alterations. Other times we can look at the texture or fine details of the fossilized egg shell, which is very different from surrounding rock. Most times the egg shell is cracked- adding more textures- fragile things like to break or get smushed so many times fossil eggs aren’t even really round!

wow!! awesome!

One ostrich eggs = twenty chicken eggs? Well, one elephant bird egg = how many ostrich eggs?🤔

I love this Florida Geological Survey map! Amazing to see where different parts of geologic history are preserved throughout Florida.

Here’s something you don’t see everyday, again from the Wyoming Dinosaur Center: a congenital malformation that fused two vertebrae together in an Apatosaurus! #fossil

Modern bones help us ID fossil ones! We use this modern slider turtle shell to help students examine fossil turtle bone pieces, and figure out what part of the turtle they came from. #method

4 weeks, 1 day agoMacKenzie Smith posted an image in the group Paleo Pics from the myFOSSIL appThis is a bisaccate grain. The two blobs on top are called sacci and are filled with air making it easier for the pollen to be dispersed by wind. It sort of looks like Mickey Mouse right? Today there are only two families that have bisaccate grains (both are conifers). The Podocarpaceae which is native to only the Southern Hemisphere today and the Pinaceae which includes the pines. #fossil

This is another 44 million year old pollen fossil but a different site in Oregon. It is triculpate (three slit openings) but to me what makes it interesting are the fossa, large divits in the grain wall. These are original (not caused by taphonomic processes or deformation caused by processing the material). Don’t know what it is though. #fossil

Carrying the tradition by taking my little sister! Only 10 years old and she’s already asking the big questions. #collection_site
