New review: Though full of Gregory Paul's signature skeletal diagrams, The Princeton Field Guide to Predatory Dinosaurs duplicates so much material from his recent dinosaur guide that it will leave potential buyers in a bind.

So schreiben die Linksextremisten. Jeder derartige Text gibt Dobrindt Recht anstatt die Linke zu einer Volkspartei zu machen.
Beklatscht von einer gesellschaftlichen Minderheit, die im Fediverse überpräsent ist.
Mit eAutos und Selbstfahrern werden Autos nicht verschwinden.
Niedersachsen und Brandenburg mit ÖPNV im 7min dafür wird niemand Geld haben.
In den Städten kommt man schon mit ÖPNV nicht weg. Die Kritik geht durch alle Schichten, von Studenten, Pflegern, Erziehern, Anwälten und Ärzten mit Praxen/Kanzleien in der Innenstadt. Außerhalb von 9to5 wird Berufspendeln unmöglich. 50 km radelt man nicht zur Arbeit.
Wieder ein Text der für das linke Pendant X steht. Deshalb wechseln Autofahrer und Autotolerante zu Bluesky.
Schau mal aus der Bubble und finde eine Lösung, die alle Menschen abholt, oder sind Toleranz, Akzeptanz, Gemeinwohl nur die eigenen Leute gemeint?

Das System/Krebsgeschwür Auto wird gestützt vom #Kapitalismus (mehr Gewinn wie bei Fahrrädern, Verteilung von Land/Besitz) , ausgebaut von #Nazis, unterstützt von der #Fossils-Mafia, der bequemen Gewohnheit (Mitdemautovomsofazumbürostuhlfahrer), durch Trennung von Arbeit/Wohnen/Freizeit (Traum vom Einfamilienhaus) - also der Kampf mit Windmühlen oder biblisch: David gegen Goliath. Ein langer Prozess der Heilung mit ungewissem Ausgang.

Life...From a Certain Point of View · Giant mastodon from the bayouMastodons have been known to western scientists for more than 250 years, and were identified in Louisiana as early as 1804. But in spite of the long history of mastodon research, they still have lots of surprises for us.

Spinosaurus at the Munich Show 2024.
This special exhibition marked the first time that a skeleton of this enigmatic dinosaur went on display in Munich after the original specimens from the Bahariya Oasis of Egypt were destroyed during World War II.
is there direct evidence of green color preserved in any Mesozoic animal fossils? I seem to recall that as recently as 5 years ago, green was still one of the colors which had not then been found preserved in Mesozoic animal fossils, because most animal greens are partly based on cartenoids, which have much worse preservation potential.

@KateShaw has made a new episode about coelecanths. First the 1938 find of a real coelecanth and Margery Courtenay Latimer, (after whom the genus of the coelecanth, Latimeria, is named), a wonderful story.
Then she calls out a recent hoax, referencing @idoubtit 's recent coverage of the same hoax.
Finally another real coelecanth discovery, off North Maluku.

The Creature's excited to see what's gnew at the Natural History Museum 
Anyone here knows about fossils?
Went to Wepre Park (Connah's Quay, Flintshire, Wales, UK) and across the stream, we could see this on one of the stones.
Looks to me ancient tree bark, but also looks like scales.

True story. While searching in the garage for a roll of teflon tape, I stumbled across a chunk of limestone loaded with fossils. (It’s a very old garage.)
Actually, this is something my son and I collected 20 years ago in St. Paul, Minnesota, where there are rich deposits of fossilized sea life at the base of the Mississippi River bluffs.
