@nhmbryozoa.bsky.social#FossilFriday Photographed last Wednesday at the Centre Commercial Les Grands Hommes, Bordeaux, sectioned rhynchonellid brachiopod shells in polished cladding stones probably of Jurassic age. #PavementGeology
@ejrpaleo.bsky.socialJust got the confirmation date of my SVP poster presentation. Come see me on Wednesday (11/11) as I talk about spinosaurids in comparison to other theropods and extant archosaurs. #FossilFriday #Spinosaurus #Dinosaurs #Paleontology
@thedinosaurdave.bsky.socialThis week for #Fossilfriday we have another #Guess that #Lego #Fossil.
This one I would rate as medium. This close relative of marsupial is known from South America.
Reply your guesses and I will post the answer tomorrow.

@houdzgeorge.bsky.socialI found out my paper on Dinodontosaurus was provisionally accepted two days before Spencer’s post, and 6 days after it I got the official acceptance
Few #FossilFriday posts have been such a timely surprise
@fossilsndcoffee.bsky.socialThe public museum is getting some attention now but behind the scenes museums are active centers of science and learning. Collections are real, primary data and are irreplaceable archives of ecology, past climate, and biodiversity. Support #museums !
@reptiledude.bsky.socialFor #FossilFriday you are getting something special. Part of the original Dryptosaurus aquilunguis jawbone. First described as Laelaps by Edward Drinker Cope and renamed by his rival Othniel Charles Marsh after it was discovered a mite already named that. Note the tooth! Academy of Natural Sciences
@uglyfossils.bsky.socialFor #FossilFriday, @tessasaurus.bsky.social, @boydpaleo.bsky.social, @mhouseholder.bsky.social, and I have yet another stretch goal to share:
@ferwen.bsky.social#FossilFriday During #WWII, paleontologist Julia Anna Gardner became the leader of a group known as “The Dungeon Gang” that provided strategic information through analyses of maps, & aerial photographs to the Armed Forces. ⚒️🧪🔬

@quakeandquiver.bsky.socialOne of the wildest things I've learned recently! As an avowed Devonian fan I'm surprised I never encountered this guy before #FossilFriday #sciart

@daverodland.bsky.socialExcellent ... we could use some more #FossilFriday content ...
@windell-oskay.bsky.socialFossil ray tooth plate pieces, collected in Florida last weekend. #FossilFriday
@daverodland.bsky.socialContinuing #FossilFriday with another critter that biomineralized a #calcite exoskeleton (vote! It's too close!) ... here we have a couple spiriferid brachiopods. 🧪⚒️
@thedinosaurdave.bsky.socialThis weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Homotherium
In 1826, Reverend John MacEnery found Pleistocene aged canine teeth in a cave near Devon.
In 1846, Richard Owen described those first fossils as Machairodus latidens,

@minouette.bsky.socialVote Calcite for trilobite eyes!
@mosasaurologist.bsky.socialHappy #FossilFriday from this random ceratopsian skull bone that I found last time I was doing fieldwork in Montana
This is an articular, and it shoes th very well defined hinge area where it connects the rest if the lower jaw onto the top part of the skull.🧪
