@cambriancam.bsky.socialWelcome back to another #fossilfriday
I take a break from the Invertebrates to show you this! This is a tooth from a theropod dinosaur likely belonging to an unidentified Abelisaurid. This was found in the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) Dekkar Formation in Morocco.

Ediacaran seafloor, 560 million years in the makingā¦ and now in cake form! š„š
A delicious piece of geological history.

@fossildetective.bsky.socialGiving a talk at North Carolina State on this #FossilFriday and getting to show this very fun figure of growth in the horseshoe crab Euproops from Haug & Haug 2020. The species gives a rare view of the development of an extinct arthropod and allows direct comparison with modern species.

@doublebeam.bsky.socialI swear I was gonna do a tyrannosaur #FossilFriday even before Tromerosaurus dropped! š
Each time I'm at the Mongolian Institute of Paleontology, even I have to admire and drool over the 'baby' Tarbosaurus MPC-D 107/7. Check out the 'chicken wing'-sized articulated arm from this specimen!!!!š¤©
@earthsciweek.bsky.socialItās #SpookySeason so itās time we talked about FOSSIL BRAINS š§ š
Yep, casts of a skullās interior can be fossilizedāthese are called #BrainEndocasts!

@anatrecord.bsky.socialHappy #FossilFriday! Using high-res CT, researchers reveal the skull anatomy of Brazilian Pleistocene amphisbaenians, showing braincase structures and new characters for studying their evolution. Even they canāt worm (lizard) their way out of research! Study by Paiva et al.: doi.org/10.1002/ar.7...
