Happy Thanksgiving! We’re thankful for all of you, for the voices that rise up, the hearts that refuse to back down, and the courage that keeps the resistance moving forward. Tomorrow, there will be more of us. πŸ’šβœŠ

A close-up of Trinucleus, showing an enlarged and inflated glabella, no visible eyes (unusual for a trilobite), and the anterior margin forms a broad perforated fringe resembling a colander.

#TrilobiteTuesday has crept up on us again in the dark, twilight waters of the Welsh Ordovician. This one is Trinucleus, a blind trilobite characterized by a pitted fringe along the anterior margin of the cephalon.

There’s been so much #political bashing and #divisive rhetoric the last 5 days on this app.

I’m sure everyone has noticed the uptick.

Argo is full of lies.
There is an older movie called "The Canadian Caper" that actually tells the truth.

Welcome back to #fossilfriday

Here is the crinoid Arthroacantha carpenteri with a Platycerid snail attached. These snails are Coprophagous which means they ate fecal matter. The snail would attached to the anal chimney of the crinoid and would feed on the waste.

We are 2 for 2 with echinoderms for #fossilfriday!

Here is an absolutely beautiful regular sea urchin known as Desoricidaris pouyannei. This specimen comes from the Lower Cretaceous (Cenomanian) rocks of Taouz, Morocco. The preservation of the test (body) is absolutely stunning even after 100 mya!

Air raid alert.
Missile threat.
There were launches.

Everything will be fine.

What a dress. Wonder what happened to it in the end? Clothes were like money back in those days. Repaired, stolen, handed down, bequeathed.
