      Is this from Douglas Pass? I’ve never seen so many insects there! 😀

        No, it is from north of Rifle. Douglas Pass is a wonderful collecting locality for similar specimens, however. 🙂

    Digging through some old photos and I found one of the first ones we took of Bernie’s skull! Bernie, for those who don’t know, is a currently undescribed (the paper will be out sometime soon!) thalattosaur me and my father found waaaay back in 2011. They (we have at least 8 individuals) are being described by Eric Metz of the University of Alaska.…[Read more]

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

      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.

    Sometimes paleontology tools are the same as those around your house, such as this screwdriver helping uncover fossils in Nebraska! #fossil #method

      This is about 15 million years old. Probably a little younger.

    Count down to a talk I’m giving in Pasco County on Florida plant fossils! This is Thalassodendron auricula-leporis, a seagrass from 40 million years ago. This genus no longer lives in Florida but today is eaten by dougons in the Indian Ocean and West Pacific. #event

    This is a sponge in the group Calcarea. Does anyone know more about the lower level taxonomy? Family, genus, species? Easily recognizable by the spicules (star shapes) but I never really learned much more! #fossil

    Gomphothere tibia/fibula perhaps? Thoughts on the element ID? I know it’s gomphothere for sure. #fossil #collectionsite

    @jeanette-pirlo is working on preparing this gomphothere tusk still encased in a jacket. It’s slow going, because some of the softer parts must be stabilized by glue as she works. #fossil #method

      Very famous localities in Greenland for early transitional tetrapods!
