Idk... I love my oc. I love paleontology. Someday I will post my own paleoart, but I have a different audience now.

Happy #FossilFriday ! Our new exhibit at the University of Alberta paleontology museum features a baby Chasmosaurus and Saurornitholestes. Thank you to all the staff and graduate students who helped to create this display!

The Carthage Institute of Paleontology is facing an existential threat: funding for our preparator ends THIS JULY & we need to find an alternative to save the program & its fossils.

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY.

Our goal is to reach someone with the resources to help.

I'm a proud nerd! Be it archaeology, geology or paleontology I'm here for it!
Tar pits (yes, like La Brea)
Ammonites
Giant clams that existed during the time of dinosaurs when the Utah desert was an ocean bottom (pickaxe for scale)
Fossilized oysters from the same time frame

Hey y'all, I gave a talk for the Royal Tyrrell Museum about the fossil record of parasites.

You can watch the recording of the talk here:

Happy #FossilFriday , these are the broken lower leg bones (fibulae) of the tyrannosaurs Teratophoneus and Lythronax! Partial healing has occurred in both specimens, indicating the animals lived with the breaks for a short time before dying. (1/2)

This #FossilFriday , we’re talking Tube Tech with Paleontology Lab Manager, Tylor!

The large crest on the back of Parasaurolophus’s head makes this dinosaur a distinct favorite. But what exactly was that crest for? Check it out!

Parenting classes should include a unit on paleontology

Last month, Petrified Forest hosted the annual meeting for the Southern Colorado Plateau Inventory & Monitoring Network (SCPN). Attendees of this year’s meeting were eager to see the incredible fossils of our park and the work being done in our paleontology labs and collection..

who knew paleontology was so relatable

The grade 3s were on a fossil hunt at the U of A Paleontology Museum! We learned about rocks, minerals and fossils thanks to their amazing collection.

To Jackson:
The “Lazarus taxa,” they appear alive in populations today and in ancient sediments (supposedly 1/3 of a billion years old). The horseshoe crab, damselfly, coelacanth and gar fish, lobsters, Andean tapir, magnolia flowers, Wollemi pine, and many others. #paleontology

You may think the pathway to paleontology is full of dinosaurs, cute rocks, comparative anatomy and so on.. but no, you also have to be knowledgeable about THE EFFING SIMMETRY OF MINERALS.
