I found quite an interesting fossil last week. I thought it was just a piece of bivalve shell, then turned it over and realised there was a xenomorph of an ammonite on the other side #FossilFriday #fossils #ammonite

I had a wonderful time this week at the Marine Reptile Conference at Oxford. Lots of fun chatting about ongoing croc work, and super proud to see Max who I co-supervised present on his master’s project 👏🐊 Huge thanks to all the organisers for making this conference happen! #FossilFriday

#FossilFriday Erika Martha von Hoyningen-Huene was one of the only two female vertebrate palaeontologists in the pre-World War II history of Germany. She completed her doctorate in 1933, the same year that Hitler came to power. paleonerdish.wordpress.com/2016/08/02/f...
Dave Rodland Is it still Fossil Friday? Well ... yes. Last time from this phone, gotta give it a proper sendoff. Let the face biting begin! 🦖 Shout out to @jordantyranny.bsky.social, who was a lot of fun to meet and advises me that maybe this shirt isn't actually dino camouflage...

Since we are going out for 10 days next week after, Tropical storm Rachael has cleaned off the site, to evaluate the Ironstone bonebed near the base of our Cretaceous section in eastern Utah for #FossilFriday a few pictures of ankylosaur and iguanodont fossils collected of the surface of the site.
The Dinosaur Dave This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Ornithomimus. In 1890, Ornithomimus velox was given a type species by O. C. Marsh. It was based off a partial hindlimb, and forelimb that had been found in 1889 by George Lyman Cannon. 1/x

A passenger's first experience in an #airplane will always be the most memorable. And this particular pilot sees no overarching need or desire to set any silly new precedent in this regard. @johnmoffitt.bsky.social @flojohorman.bsky.social @foreignsubstance.bsky.social #PaleoArt #FossilFriday

A cast of UALVP55700, a Saurornitholestes specimen representing the most complete dromaeosaurid yet known from Alberta. I’ve seen the original specimen up close but this cast does it justice. From the tip of the snout to the base of the tail this specimen is pretty much all there #FossilFriday

J Pardo I suppose it's #fossilfriday so here's the skull of the Permian coelacanth Spermatodus from Texas, courtesy of the AMNH.
Anthony of the Badlands Today's #FossilFriday post is again inspired by the imminent closure of the Sternberg Museum. In late 2011 we were again called out to assist in a Kansas project, this time a small version of a large sea turtle called Protostega

＃金曜日だから化石貼る ＃FossilFriday アキシマエンシス及び同館企画展示「アキシマクジラ化石発見65周年記念展示」〜過去と未来をつなぐアキシマクジラ〜より、アキシマクジラEschrichtius akishimaensis。 多摩川からこんなにも大きく、完全度の高いクジラが出てるというのがすごい。しかも現生ヒゲクジラの中でもとりわけ特徴的な種の1つであるコククジラと同属だというのだから。

In 2019, NMNH debuted new casts of the Stegosaurus and Ceratosaurus skeletons originally collected by Marsh’s teams. Ceratosaurus was casted and assembled in-house, but Stegosaurus was made by RCI. Getting them to fight took great care, and some cardboard stand-ins. #FossilFriday

Prof. Juan Cisneros ⚒️🐉 Esta é Timonya, um anfíbio que viveu antes dos dinossauros em Timon, MA. O crânio mede 4cm, seus braços e pernas eram diminutos (consegue ver os ossinhos dos dedos no lado esquerdo?) e ela deveria passar a maior parte do tempo dentro d'água. #fossilfriday
