This #FossilFriday is brought to you by the #Ediacaran animals of #Newfoundland. The oldest staurozoan cnidarian #Mamsetia manunis, its younger better preserved cousin #Haootia quadriformis and the 551 Ma stem #ctenophore #Edrathina obditchia alongside the candidate poriferans Thectardis & Lydonia.
Time for another game of “Is it a shimmering pickle or a Beroe?” 🤭 #ctenophore
You don't have to go far to find alien life... Just look in our oceans 🪼 Enjoy these out-of-this-world, adult lobate comb jellies (Mnemiopsis leidyi) on #CtenophoreCtuesday!

they have comb-like cilia (hairs). This multimedia piece combines my linocut comb jelly on translucent Japanese paper, and self-flashing rgb LEDs to replicate their incredible bioluminescence.
Very hard to photograph or video…

Happy #CtenophoreDay! These lab-grown comb jellies are giving off lava lamp vibes 😎 I often get entranced whenever I feed them 😍 #TeamBob #Bobettes #ctenophore #scicomm
October 4th (10/04 or "Ten-O-Four") is #CtenophoreDay for those that use the MM-DD format 🪼 Celebrate the occasion by sharing your favorite comb jelly photos and videos throughout the day! And don't forget to add the hashtag #CtenophoreDay to your posts 😊 #ctenophore #combjelly #scicomm #marinelife
Your weekly Bob sighting 🪼 #TeamBob #ctenophore #combjelly #scicomm #Mnemiopsis #MarineLife
And here’s a view from the side, for those interested! #MarineLife #ctenophore
Tongue-tied? Maybe tentacle-tied! 🪼🪢🪼 These larval comb jellies (cydippids) got all tangled up after going for the same piece of food (now white debris in the middle of aggregate) 🤦♂️ Don’t worry though! It’s nothing a transfer pipette can’t solve 😊 #scicomm #mneniopsis #ctenophore #MarineLife
Here are some lab-grown comb jelly larvae to brighten your day 🪼 Despite the name, comb jellies are not true jellyfish as they lack stinging cells and, instead, have sticky cells! Credit video to @kevinthiessen.bsky.social. #CtenophoreFunFacts #ctenophore #combjelly #scicomm #TeamBob #MarineLife
Cterrific video! Fun fact: Comb jellies are the largest animals to use cilia for locomotion 🤓 #CtenophoreFunFacts #ctenophore #MarineLife
Cten days to go until #CtenophoreDay (10-04) 🪼 How will you be celebrating this tentacular event? #combjelly #ctenophore #scicomm #sciart #MarineLife #SciSky 📽️ @montereybayaquarium.org
Only 2 days left to join us in MBL!

Here are some comb jelly larvae (i.e. cydippids) to brighten your day 🪼 Two months ago, our colony got bottlenecked to one individual (Bob) and has since grown to over 500! #ctenophore #scicomm
