I watch CCC regularly and, yes, there are often sharks. Usually nurse and lemon, but once there was a hammerhead!

Very cool!

Where do you find fossils of this age in SC? I've hunted for Oligocene fossils down by Charleston, but nothing older than that.

Is it wrong that I initially thought these were photos of chicken nuggets? (Props to paleontologists! I would *never* have seen this and thought "that looks like a lizard skull.")

I've been watching @coralcitycamera.bsky.social regularly for the past 8 months or so and, with few exceptions, I struggle to identify hamlet species. It's good to know there might be a reason for it.

Anything that's not about great whites or bull sharks. They're cool and all, but that's all I ever see in docs. Give me content on the ones that don't show up in When Sharks Attack: thresher sharks, greenland sharks, bonnethead sharks . . .

As an academic publisher and a brindle greyhound owner, I can confirm.

Fascinating! More useful facts.

This is why I follow paleontologists, even though I'm a musicologist--practical fossil information!

New question: how big did these dolphins get? Are they larger than modern dolphins?

Ashby Gale identified it as
cf. Tursiops, (definitely a delphinid periotic). He also gets the photo credit.

Thanks to one of your posts, I recognized a funny rock I found as a dolphin ear bone while on a fossil trip last year. Much appreciated.

As he should!

This is the best thing ever! I wish either of my kids were this excited about dinos.

Nice! I love the Pratchett-y sense of humor.

Recently finished OverLondon by @georgepenney.bsky.social. Now I can't wait for the sequel.

If any (trade or academic) publishers follow me and are ever interested in having their authors come on the show to promote new books, please don't hesitate to reach out!

DMs are open to mutuals, or shoot an inquiry over via www.thisguysucked.com/contact and we'll get right back to you.

Please tell me this will be published. I want to pre-order.

I think Faceytalk might be my favorite. Muffin is the real deal.

If you see this, post a gif from one of your comfort shows

Pocket Shark.

Please do.

These are the new lyrics to Die Forelle. I don't make the rules.

If you went to college
1. what was your career goal when you started?
2. your initial major?
3. if you changed majors, what did you change to?
4. what do you do now, professionally?

1. opera singer
2. vocal performance
3. dropped theater minor, added music history
4. direct a university press

Same

Congratulations!

Nicely done! Macarons are the only fancy baking I can do, but I’ve never done dual fillings. 😋

Thank god he only wrote one opera.

The dude either wrote folk music or violin/horn music and stuck words under it. He never understood how to write for the voice.

Why are you getting emails from my father?

A slender tropical wrasse. It is mostly white with two horizontal black stripes running from head to tail and a yellow and red tail. It is called a slippery dick.

I was watching @coralcitycamera.bsky.social and trying to identify the types of fish. This is how I learned of the "slippery dick." I have questions . . .
