A finger pointing to a small, fat cylindrical fossil in a slab of rock. There is also a fossil that looks like a squashed, oval jellyfish (?).
Now, a #SundayPixDistance image that’s about distant time. My finger is pointing to a little Spriggina fossil, while a Dickinsonia fossil is nearby. These tiny animal fossils are pre-Cambrian, 550+ million years old. 🤯 #Ediacara #Nilpena #Ikara #FlindersRanges #SundayPix #SouthAustralia
It's fun having written a bunch of Lominus in advance cuz now I can practice drawing fun scenes that'll show up way down the line.
I'm really proud of the dynamic angle/posing I achieved here

When she's not on a job, Ikara likes to read comics. She also likes to draw, usually landscapes featuring the Moon, dreaming of the day she might get to see it with her own eyes.

The Cazneaux tree
A river red gum that seems to have grown from two trunks that combined above a hole they formed
The enormous root system of a river red gum clinging to the side of an empty creek bed
A large river red gum with a gaping black centre from the ground to the top of its trunk
Some of the trees we saw today. #CazneauxTree #RiverRedGums #FlindersRanges #Ikara #SouthAustralia #WilpenaPound #MorolanaScenicDrive #ThickTrunkThursday
Bright fluffy clouds behind a couple of gums with the rocky edges of Wilpena Pound in the background
A tall, rocky bluff lit by a setting sun with a foreground of stony red and a sprinkling of small trees
Coloured clouds in a big sky and a farm windmill in silhouette
The view at dinner tonight. Tomorrow, the incredible Ediacaran fossil fields tour at Nilpena. #Ikara #FlindersRanges #WilpenaPound #SouthAustralia
“Measuring up to 8cm wide, the #fossils are the preserved imprints of organisms that likely moved along what was once the seafloor but is now part of the majestic Flinders Ranges landscape.” #Ediacara #Ikara #EdiacaranEra 🧪⚒️ #FlindersRanges
“Wind and water were the only sounds, but there was nothing yet with ears to hear them.” A longform piece on this amazing region. #ediacara #EdiacaranEra #FlindersRanges #Ikara

That’s a big bloody ancient invertebrate! 'D Rex' (Dickinsonia rex) in #Ikara #FlindersRangesNationalPark #FlindersRanges #FossilFriday
Me and my daughter when she was 6, both straddling the Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary in #Ikara #FlindersRangesNational Park. Roughly 10 million years between our legs #FlindersRanges

There she is — the giant #Dickinsonia rex (or, D-rex, as we like to say) from a 550 million year-old #Ediacara formation in #Ikara #FlindersRangesNationalPark http://www.ediacaran.org/dickinsonia.html #Ediacaran #palaeontology #deeptime
