We've just uploaded a recording of our palaeoentomology-themed talks! If you're interested in what insect fossils and amber can tell us about species distribution, geography, and plant stress give it a watch!

#FossilFriday anyone know what this fossil is? Really cool textures, striated on one side, bumpy on the other. It is thin, and coming out from the wall so it is kinda in a flat sheet structure. Mississippian age limestone.
🦈🦴 #Arkansas is hundreds of kilometers from the #ocean, but it's home to some of the world's most pristine shark #fossils.
A unique chemical "glitch" on the ancient seafloor preserved entire 3D skeletons – not just teeth – allowing paleontologists to study species like the Cosmoselachus mehlingi in fine detail.

Today's marine reptile artwork depicts a mother Nannopterygius giving birth. This is one of about 60 artworks I produced for Prof Michael J. Benton's book, DINOSAUR BEHAVIOR (published by Princeton University Press).

Cool.
"Two hundred and ninety million years ago, in a mountain valley within the central region of the supercontinent Pangaea, an apex predator snapped up at least three other animals and sometime later puked up the bones."

Citizen scientists work on 100-million-year-old fossil in outback Queensland
By Jay Carstens
Participants from across Australia and the world travelled to outback Queensland to clean up the near-complete ichthyosaur fossil.

🏔️🐚 If you climbed to the top of #MountEverest, the last thing you’d expect to find is a sea floor. But the summit is actually made of limestone packed with the #fossils of trilobites and crinoids that lived 450 million years ago.

Were Ancient Wolves And Bronze Age Humans Each Other’s Friends?
"Wolf bones unearthed on a tiny island in the Baltic Sea were found to be thousands of years old, and bore multiple signs of living alongside ancient humans."

Remembering my friend Richard Forrest, a marine reptile expert, with a week or two of marine reptile artworks. I'll start with this old acrylic painting, called The Wreck, which I created for Richard back in 2004.

The global demand for dinosaur fossils is booming, with increasing interest from wealthy collectors across Asia. In 2024, a Stegosaurus skeleton was sold at an auction in New York for a record $44.6m.
Fossil hunters are raking in profits, while Asian buyers bond over their collections and see fossils as a way to educate the next generation about history.
Academics say the commercial fossil trade is unethical and harmful to science.
This week's #NewBooks at the library: I bought second-hand copies of Animal Anomalies: What Abnormal Anatomies Reveal about Normal Development and The Correspondence of #CharlesDarwin, Volume 14: 1866, both from Cambridge University Press. I also adopted a damaged copy of the large-format English/German Elefantenreich: Eine Fossilwelt in Europa from Verlag Beier & Beran, which features some amazing fold-out plates. I hear it is basically out of print now.
