Fossil of articulated skull and anterior vertebrae representing the holotype of Tametara. Bones are whitish, matrix is beige-brown. The small 2cm scale bar is basically the size of the preserved region (posterior) of the skull
Tiny brown spider with the front legs raised trying to scape the upside down glass that retained it. The pedipalps are visible.
Silhouette of two macaws perched on a light post full of connecting wires and on a stump of a palm tree. The image was taken against a bright blueish sky so that the foreground is almost.
Four people hugging in a pub, three man and a woman, all dressed up and smiling
Short-haired woman in front of a podium with part of a slide showing on a big screen behind
Selfie from a man similing and wearing glasses on the foreground and a woman in the background holding a large reflex camera in a palaeontological collection
General view of the first inner yard of the Forbidden city with a mighty palace with three towers atop a wall
Fossil of a feathered dinosaur in a somewhat dancing pose: the tail is up, the neck and head bent back in its direction. The arms are small and close to the body, while one leg is bent on the knee and the other is straight
white and light grey siberian husky laying on an armchair, and looking at the camera as if smiling
Photo of a fossil slab in complete dam except for the vertical green target laser refracting in several thinner parallel lines
A selfie of me, a latina woman with glasses and short, light brown hair and wearing a green pullover, smiling in front of the huge, wall-mounted fossil of Helveticosaurus.
Card showing segmented skull bones with the tittle “Inferences on the paleobiology of the early archosauromorph Prolacerta broomi”
Cross section of an X-ray tomography showing a rock with a fossil on the surface but with very low contrast between densities and very poor resolution, the image being blurried
Cross section of the sample clearly showing the fossil on the surface of the rock in one place but just to the side there’s an area with no such difference in density but the matrix do not really form strata and this seems to follow the general shape where the fossil was expected to be
Foto of a screen showing a slice of a rocky matrix with some fossil bone on the surface displaying a very different density
Close mountains at the back of an urban setting with almost vertical depositional lines
Outside setting. Photo of two women in a garden with the massive Table Mountain at the background with amazing sunny weather and blue sky. One women is younger and wearing glasses with lighter hair; the other is shorter, darker hair and is wearing sunglasses. Both are smiling.
Skull of a fossilised reptile in left lateral view
View from a window with closed, dirty glass. Some tree tops right on the first background and farther the mountain green hills but rocky top, all against a clear blue sky.
