A large theropod (probably tyrannosaur) track from Nose Mountain, Alberta shows the fourth digit twisted such that half of the toe was folded underneath the rest.
They ask you how you are and you just have to say that you're fine when you're not really fine. #FossilFriday

You will be able to see many pictures of today’s #eclipse, but not so many with a bird transiting in front.
The Earth, a fellow earthling and the Moon in a row.
And yes, a window among the clouds finally opened after leaving behind the cumulonimbus of the previous post!

🔥 Today’s satellite view shows smoke rising from multiple wildfires burning in Portugal and Spain.
Smoke is often more intense in the late afternoon when high temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds cause wildfires to burn more aggressively.

Just a reminder to writers, pressure waves travel about ten times faster in rock than in air. So first, the ground will shake, then the blast wave hits.
