SciAm: Fossilized Skin on Dinosaur ‘Mummies’ Isn’t Skin at All The scaly skin of a crest over the back of the juvenile duck-billed dinosaur Edmontosaurus annectens, nicknamed “Ed Jr.” The juvenile duckbill, estimated to be about two years old at the time it died, is the only juvenile dinosaur mummy ever discovered. Tyler Keillor/Fossil Lab Scientific American has an interesting article about dinosaur "mummies". In 1908, Charles Sternberg found the "first dinosaur mummy".

Microscope photo of a section of rock showing grey layers of silt stone with layers of dark filamentous organic matter that curve up and down. The image is 2.5 by 4.5 millimetres.

Want to see what we found in the 3.22 Ga Moodies Group from South Africa? I'll be debuting some of the data at @lifeandplanet.bsky.social on Weds 16th July at 11:30. #ThinsectionThursday image below is a sneak peak to entice you. #Geology #Paleontolgy ⚒️🧪🦠

Any of my paleontology mutuals or followers have any good books that are in Chinese? I have some followers on rednote asking for some paleo anatomy books, but all they can find are ones on mammals. I recommended get away trike, but wondered if there might be others I’m not aware of.

Plush "collar of shame" in the form of six petal segments surrounding a hole in the middle.

Diagrams of Radiodont mouth structures, in the form of rings of radiating segments with a gap in the middle.

So, it appears my wife got our cat an oversized, plush model of Radiodont teeth.

Update: A little hoard of goodies from a test run with the new sifter. And 7 that need a better look see. #paleontolgy #science

Microscope photo of a sheet of brown organic matter part of which is formed from rectangles with jagged tesselating edges, and part of which is formed polygonal cells like cork. There are regular elliptical pores too.

#FossilFriday A very weird, unknown organic fragment from one of my #Proterozoic samples. I'm calling these things Geiger-morphs because they remind me of Geigers work. No idea what they are from...yet #Geology #Paleontolgy

Denversaurus grew 20 feet long in Colorado 68 million years ago. Armor plates fused solid. It lived in coastal marshes.


Its beak cropped soft plants. The tail lacked a club. Fossils show dense bones. It roamed in protective herds.

Everything I'm seeing around conservation and the colossal dire wolf is exactly what ian Malcolm warned us about. We were obsessed with if we could we never stop to think if we should. We failed him #scicomm #conservation #jurassicpark #paleontolgy #endangeredspecies

Idk why but in the landscape that we are in educationally and politically seeing #walkingwithdinosaurs again made today a little less grey. #BBC #paleontolgy #scicomm

For #scicomm, #biology, #ecology, #chemistry, #physics, #geology and #paleontolgy people, what is it you wish the public knew more about your field or science in general and why? #education #outreach

photograph of a small piece of mudstone that is covered in tiny mussel shells. A scale at the bottom shows that the rock is approx 2 cm wide, and 4 cm long.

High res photo of a tiny piece of #Jurassic shale coated in tiny bivalves. This was deposited at the start of a catastrophic climate change event. The bivalves are tiny versions of adults that adapted to the low O2 conditions on the seabed. #geology #paleontolgy

Just reading Parry et al 2017 on the exceptional preservation of soft tissue. Kinda makes sense that decay prone tissues would mineralise early. I can imagine that the decay of these tissues creates chemical gradients ideal for rapid mineralisation. #geology #paleontolgy ⚒️
