This week for #Fossilfriday we have another #Guess that #Lego #Fossil.

This one I would rate as medium. This marine reptile is known from Europe.

Reminder: hide your answer behind a content warning. This will allow others to guess without a hint. I will post the answer tomorrow (and to anyone who guesses correctly).

Proteins from ancient rhino fossil found in #Nunavut crater

« Scientists studying a 21 to 24-million-year-old rhino #fossil found in the Haughton Crater on Nunavut's Devon Island say the high Arctic environment preserved the oldest recoverable ancient proteins found so far.

The proteins recovered from the #rhino tooth, found decades ago, are 10 times older than any previously recoverable sample of ancient #DNA »

Beachcombing for seaglass with my husbear, I wandered far afield (as is my habit). On the far shore, I stumbled across boulders made of ancient riverwash, trapped prehistoric plants, and suggestive carbon traces that *could* have been something (probably nothing).

🐋" Whale Valley is a region of the Egyptian Sahara desert that is peppered with archaic whale skeletons, some of which have feet and toes preserved.

These skeletons and other marine fossils date to the late Eocene epoch (55.8 million to 33.9 million years ago), when present-day Egypt was submerged beneath the Tethys Ocean and whales had just evolved into sea creatures,"

🐂🐴 #LostBones #FossilFriday 🐟🐘🦥🐪 An in-person, eye-to-orbit visit is always best! This is the Scheirel bison skeleton, currently on display at the Paynesville Area Historical Society. It was reconstructed by William Scheirel after a dredging operation on his property in October 1975.

Originally displayed at Zapf's Leather Shop in Paynesville, the skeleton was donated to the historical society in the mid-1990s.

Was soll man auch von #Fossil-#Lobbyist:innen und Männern und Frauen, die die #Welt #verbrennen (#Buch von #ChristianStöcker), anderes erwarten ? Das ist wahrscheinlich der Grund, warum #Unternehmer:innen wie diese Zwei in der #Politik sind: Um ihre #Netzwerke und #Interessengruppen zu #konsolidieren, zu schützen und noch "reiche/r" zu machen. Diese bedanken sich mit hoch dotierten #Aufsichtsratsposten o.ä. in der #Zukunft.

#KatharinaReiche steht für den fossilen Rollback! Diese Ministerin katapultiert uns zurück in die Steinzeit ohne Zukunft. #Merz hat Deutschland mit der Einsetzung von #Reiche und ihrer Nähe zu #fossil |en #Energie |unternehmen einen Bärendienst erwiesen. Statt Fortschritt und #Wettbewerbsfähigkeit gibt es Rückständigkeit und Probleme für zukünftige Generationen.
Tja, Kinder, tut mir leid, dass geld- und machtgierige, ewig gestrige Lobbyisten Eure Zukunft ins Feuer werfen!

…and they are trying to bring back #nuclear with #AI …

While #nuclearenergy is not #fossil it not #green at all - but #colonial , #deadly & totally unfair because, like in AI, the #profits are being privatised, the costs are hitting the whole #society & the #planet

But from the point of view of someone believing in #cybernetics or one of its #TESCREAL grandchildren it is great - because in cybernetics EVERY problem will be solved in "the future" by "technology"

Senator #SenMurrayWatt on ABC:

"It's not accurate for some out there to be claiming we're not doing anything about the climate change impacts of big projects; we are."

Of course they are, why, look at their recent #fossil fuel project approvals. See, they are doing stuff. Largest polluting gas field to set record emmisions over 70 years for all to enjoy. Bunch of wankers. The Hon Mr Watt is bulldozing his portfolio (another moniker for “Mr Fix-it man’ would but ‘bull-headed’).

I remain convinced that #TanyaPlibersek had a good handle on what needed to be done but was consistently stymied at every step by the PM and the neoliberal wing of the Parliamentary Labor party. Bankrupt climate policies are de jure in our govt. Don’t hold your breath for progressive steps in that direction any time soon. Bugger them all.

Climate #misinformation turning #crisis into #catastrophe, report says

#Climate action was being obstructed and delayed by false and misleading information stemming from #fossil #fuel companies, #rightwing politicians and some nation #states. The report, from the International Panel on the Information #Environment (Ipie), systematically reviewed 300 studies.
