From today's #GEOS308 lab at #UAGEOS on #Protists, #Porifera, and #Cnidarians, we got to see some #Fusulinid #foraminifera from the Earp formation in #Arizona dating to the #Pennsylvanian to #Permian transition some ~300–280 million years ago—cool stuff!

An articulated fish fossil (next to another one that is disarticulated—i.e., strewn about outside the original body plan) in lake sedimentary rocks
I am teaching upper-level #Paleontology [ #GEOS308 ] & we had our first lab today (on depositional environments & #stratigraphy), where I got to show some #fossils, including articulated #fish fossils & #Eocene #gastropods from the Green River Formation, #Wyoming. 🦕 🐚
