It's a #GarWeek #FossilFriday! Here's some of the ganoid scales off of gar that we routinely find when scouting in the Hell Creek. So far only 1 complete gar skeleton has been found in the HCF, and I found it a full 10 years before I found my first Tyrannosaurus.

Newly restored mural in an unassuming building at the University of Missouri-Kansas City is a bizarre and enthralling masterpiece that stands as a testament to immigrants and the danger of authoritarianism.
A hidden Kansas City mural is 'a warning' against fascism, from a Spanish artist who survived it
Artist Luis Quintanilla fled the Spanish Civil War to escape persecution, but most of his work was destroyed. Today, one of his two remaining murals sits in an otherwise ordinary corner of the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Newly restored, Quintanilla’s bizarre and enthralling masterpiece stands as a testament to immigrants and the danger of authoritarianism.
