The last bit of my #DayOfScience Scienceathon is going to be spent looking through some of the #UMichPaleo #Devonian collections and recording what is where!
These specimens have undergone two major moves across campus in the past year to end up in this nice off-campus facility. Much of our stratigraphic…[Read more]

This will vary between institution and position but is generally true. Most facilities have many cabinets of fossils, check out some of my awesome compact-able cabinets! The foundations of a collection manager position are with cataloging,…[Read more]

One of the first paleo projects I worked on was making molds and casts of this anchor structure to test if it could reattach itself to the sediment! I was given so much experimental freedom and am forever grateful! #fossil

Oh my proboscidea! I MUST come visit now!
-
@jeanette-Pirlo – you totally should! Lots for you to study. And 2 ct scanners! Could be helpful with your work!
-
2 CT scanners?! Paleo heaven… do they have one big enough to scan skulls/jaws?!

Hi @kari-wade I don’t think this is bone. The surface and internal features look like a rock, rather than bone.

It has a chalky feel to it and is lighter than expected.

@kari-wade it looks like a concretion to me! Chalky makes sense. And the material inside should be slightly different. Bone would not be chalky and look more porous.

Hi, @keri-wade, I believe this is an oddly weathered rock.
