I found out that certain ammonite fossils are iridescent and that others turn into natural gemstones (Ammolite), so I thought a concept that sick needed to be made. Species is Cleoniceras.

Most mammals replace their teeth only once. A new, carnivorous, semiaquatic fossil mammal from the Early Cretaceous of China reveals multiple tooth generations, enhancing our understanding of mammal dental evolution, according to a paper in Nature Communications. go.nature.com/4ALPDFx #Paleosky 🧪
A paper in Nature describes the fossil of an early relative of mammals that shares some adaptions seen in the modern platypus, from the Jurassic period of China. The remains shed light on the evolutionary origins of suckling and swallowing. go.nature.com/4zpn0Nc #Paleosky 🧪
I’m not out yet! #inktober Day 7; Panic!
I initially wanted to do something running from Hatzegopteryx as kind of a bit and never end up doing her, but it was a disservice to this massive aerial monster.

Cacti only evolved 30 MYA, so have the closest thing I could think of, a spiky desert Gobisaurus. Close enough, right?

Another cool find for #FossilFriday: 66 Mya, a theropod dinosaur munched on a toothed diving bird, and we know it because its feathers were preserved in the dino's 💩
