@worcswt.bsky.social most of these are from samples Russell collected from Upton Warren (in part to justify days spent birdwatching there)
Did you know the #Museum has a collection of Quaternary beetles from Worcestershire? Did you also know that these were analysed by G. Russell Coope, internationally famous for his work reconstructing ancient climates using these very #fossils?

When the dam broke: the 1925 disaster that reshaped a Welsh community and a country’s safety laws

Yesterday I discovered that ChatGPT's PhD-level expertise didn't extend to bird anatomy. This morning I thought, perhaps I was being too hard on the half-trillion-dollar company. Birds are a little weird, anatomically speaking. Let's try something more familiar. A mammal. Behold.
