For Crinoid out loud!

Kandace, the newest member of the #HMNS Paleo Lab team, explains the story fossilized in this grand slab of sediment from Germany.

Now on display in the Morian Hall of Paleontology.

A 10m long whale shark rising slowly up from the deep, light dappling its magnificent, spotted head. A remora fish is attached to the tip of its left pectoral fin, and the dorsal fin has its tip damaged, most likely due to a boating accident. Photo in black and white.

Been away from plants for a few weeks, but am happy to report that Whale Sharks are utterly awesome and awe inspiring, not to mention rather large!

Back in Scotland now, recording pavement plants at Perth railway station whilst waiting for a train… #sharks #botany #notaplant

Two sea anemone, a larger one with some sand near it's mouth and a smaller one beside it to it's right, tucked close to it, it is a little harder to see, it is a little more buried in sand.

When I went to the coast I also came across two sea anemone! They were quite small. I hope they are having a good day.

I had been planning on surprising Deke (we go back, etc) after the show, but instead I got to do it onstage in front of everyone. Which was definitely fun, just wish I had been prepared for him to immediately ask me to rattle off my aca-resume for everyone #NotAPlant #ButDefinitelyLookedLikeOne

Matchmaking update should help #notaplant #buttheplantisok
