Thanks to Luke Nelson, who recently graduated with his Master's degree, for presenting last Friday! It was a fascinating exploration of a large sabre-toothed fish, Enchodus, which lived in Alberta in the Late Cretaceous.

"This paper publishes a new adult fossil attributed to Homo erectus, DNH 127, providing further confirmation that this species first appeared in southern Africa 2 million years ago.”

“An ‘extremely rare’ fossil discovery in outback Queensland has revealed a new species of prehistoric bird that roamed Australia more than 100 million years ago.” I know that area at Richmond. Fossicked there myself. Only found a small Nautilus case fossil but complete. #fossils shorturl.at/R0GlA

A chance and "extremely rare" discovery in an outback fossil pit has uncovered an unknown bird species from more than a hundred million years ago. #fossils #nature #dinosaurs

When a cunning plan is hatched, and it's time to put it into action, it's best to go over the steps multiple times.
Notwithstanding-
Failure is all but guaranteed.

Photo taken September 26, 2026, of a rock that has what looks like, some petrified wood on top of it. What first caught my attention was the color of the rock, but when I got closer, I could see I there was much more to it. #photography #geology #Rocks #petrifiedwood #fossils

- It's handy how ancient sea-beds sometimes end up at land level - a bit easier for researchers to access. I love these stories

Grateful to a geologist who sent me these fossil leaves straight from the field! If they're from the Sterling Formation, it's amazing to think these leaves lived millions of years ago, with the veins still this clear. Like touching something beyond time. 🍂

History was craved into eternity with the recent unveiling of a plaque to celebrate the discovery of one of the earliest known dinosaurs, the Thecodontosaurus, in Bristol.

Far too similar to the Australian government, clearly not the good guys.

I wanted to share PaleoColor — a free, open-access database collecting pre-Cenozoic animals whose original coloration has been reconstructed by scientists.

If you can touch a lightbulb five times, you can break out of ANY prison cell.
And, if you're "velly big confue," you're far from alone.
All will be revealed. #WatchThisSpace

Team pins down where bats originated.
The largest study ever of bat genome research combined with bat fossils reveals that bats originated in Europe some 65 million years ago not in Africa, Asia, or North America as scientists had thought
