Another photo from Coral Beach on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. As you can see, it’s a substantial amount of coral! See the previous photo for more details. #fossil

If you’re ever in Scotland, it is worth a visit to “Tràigh á Chorail” – Coral Beach, on the Isle of Skye. The “sand” that you walk on is not sand at all, but the bleached skeletons of a coraline seaweed known as Maërl. Some (living) Maërl beds are up to 8000 years old, and it grows at a pace of around 1 mm per year! Maybe not technically a fossil, but worth the trip anyway! Skye is locally known as “Dinosaur Island”, and I’m not doing it justice in this brief sentence, but for fossil-lovers, the rest of the island is not to be missed! #fossil

You don’t get to see a movie star in person very often, let alone photograph them.

That’s crazy!!!!

I was just there! lol
-
And to think…that’s just a baby
-
Is it a dinosaur? no. A bird? No. It’s flying reptile. Also, if pterosaurs had Proto-feathers, or feather like structures, where do these structures actually begin to appear in the fossil record?
-
@brent-hawkins how do you know it was a baby? I don’t recall reading the sign very closely.

SUE’s new habitat at the Field Museum! I had a ton of fun and learned even more exploring this exhibit. There was the perfect amount of technology and specimen based learning. Definitely worth a visit.
-
Sue is awesome, I remember when she was exhibited at Union Station in DC. It was a striking display.
-
@nathan-newell I agree, and this new exhibit really captivated me. I felt like I learned the entire time! And I grew up in Chicago and am a professional paleontologist hahaha!! I’d go again in a heartbeat.

View from outside the Field Museum in Chicago Illinois! Excellent metal sauropod that is often dressed up for sporting events or holidays.

If you are passing through Gainesville- definitely check out the Florida Museum of Natural History! It’s Florida’s state museum and fun for the whole family! New summer exhibit is on crocodiles!
