📣 Abstract submission is now opened for the 12th European #Paleobotany and #Palynology Congress : www.uni-muenster.de/GeoPalaeonto... 🌿⛏️ Deadline is May 31. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about our symposium for early career researchers.
It iissss!!! I'm so excited for it!
I'm sure we will! Still a lot of work to do but I'm looking forward to it!
Thanks!
Yiiissssss!!!! I'm excited!!!
Thank-you!!!
Thanks! We're both really looking forward to it!
I knooooowww, I'm so excited!!!
Ahh!! Hiya!!! Cool! Thanks so much for coming back to this!!! I hope the studies have been going well!!!
We have a new symposium at this year's European Palaeobotany and Palynology Conference in Muenster, Germany: Plant Paleoart: Perspectives and promises", organised by @palaeojules.bsky.social and myself! Both scientists and artists are welcome to contribute!

Eeee!!!! So, good news: me and @lepidodendron.bsky.social will be co-hosting a symposium at EPPC this year looking at plant Paleoart!!!!! This has been a long time coming, so I'm incredibly excited that we can finally announce it! #paleoart #paleobotany #conference #FossilFriday #botany
Fossil flower from the Parachute Creek member of the Green River formation. About 40-50 million years old. #fossilfriday
Ahhhhhh!!! These are gorgeous!!!!!
#paleobotany
What’s also wild about these Eocene belemnites is their Late Lutetian early Bartonian age, about 41-42 million years old, so younger than Green River fish. Wild
Thanks!
A portrait page with a full restored branch onto the left. It has 6 palm like leaves at the end of one branch, hiding a cone, with a second mature cone below it. On the top right is a male floral organ, which is start shaped, and in the bottom right is a cut-way of the female cone showing its development.
I have another #paleobotany restoration guide for this #FossilFriday. This time, it's Kimuriella densifolia, a whole plant bennettitalean from the Late #Jurassic of Japan.
This plant is composed of three organ taxa: Williamsonia, Zamites, and Weltrichia.

Hehehe, yes, very clever pets! And that's a fun idea! I think I might end up just snuggling my cats, though. 😂
Yeah, they can be, but unfortunately, I'm really scatterbrained unless I've already formulated my thoughts. 😂
But I might consider something a little more like that then.... would definitely be quicker to prepare.
Awww, you're welcome! I'm glad it's helpful!
*always
No problem!!! I'm alessandria happy yo talk about it!
Yes, I have quite a few on here already, and over on my (now basically abandoned) blog.
So, we don't know the exact colour, but like other aspects of palaeoart, when we're missing information it can be informed by modern relatives. We don't _know_ the colour of ancient Ginkgo bark, but giving it colours similar to modern Ginkgo is the most conservative approach.
Ahhh! Do you remember the speaker's name? I might have to talk with them at some point.
Ahhh!!! Which talk was that?!?!??!?! So you remember who gave it?
He iiissssss!!!!!
Oh, sorry.... no new talk on spino, just a new spino paper which everyone has been getting excited about. The new species with the tall crest. Sorry, I worded it weirdly 😅
Aww, thanks. And yeah, this is basically just modern Ginkgo anatomy, but it is corroborated by multiple fossils.
Aww, thanks! Yeah! I'd like to do a nice 'professional' video of it! A little cleaner than my raw talks, at least.😅
