The Kid Should See This 🌈🪐✨

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🌊🦑 The Clarion Clipperton Zone holds a surprise: metal-rich nodules surrounded by unique marine life. Scientists have found over 5,000 species there, but 90% still await formal scientific names!

From "gummy squirrel" sea cucumbers to walking #squid and carnivorous sponges with tiny hooks, this #video examines the #biodiversity in an area covering half of #Earth's surface that we've barely begun to understand.

Very exciting BBC article about the Pipestone Creek Pachyrhinosaurus bonebed! Pachyrhinosaurus is going to be featured in the new Walking with Dinosaurs series, and there are thousands of them preserved at the bonebed.

🐂 #LostBones #FossilFriday 🐟🐘🦥🐴🐪 Small museums that pack a big punch? I’ve found another! The Winnebago Area Museum in southern Minnesota spans 3 buildings in Winnebago. Along with mammoth, bison, and horse specimens, the museum features exhibits on three prehistoric Native American cultures, as well as displays highlighting the city's history, military memorabilia, and pioneer life in Winnebago.

Tracks of "reptiles" hits the news, as they are preserved in the Carboniferous rocks in the Mansfield region of Australia (which happens to be my favourite place). And found by amateur geologists. And it is the oldest evidence of reptiles in the world.

NatureEarliest amniote tracks recalibrate the timeline of tetrapod evolution - NatureAnalysis of a fossil trackway from the earliest Carboniferous of Australia shows prints of toes with claws, suggesting that the origin of amniotes was at least 35–40 million years earlier than previously thought.
