Met so many amazing people from different degrees and backgrounds, listened to fantastic talks (including one from @stevebrusatte.bsky.social!!!) and went a very exciting field trip. Thank you so much to the people who set it up

SAPS! Had an absolutely wonderful weekend at Edinburgh for the FIRST EVER SAPS CONFERENCE!!! Such an honour to be a part of what will no doubt be an essential event for undergraduate students interested in palaeontology.

These are my joint favourite animal! Here’s a string of photos and a link to help with their conservation (they are rapidly going extinct 😭):

Hello Portland! Had the pleasure to make a log of the carbonate geology here. The mix of freezing winder air and warm sunshine definitely made it more interesting lol 💙

Lyme Regis!!! The home of Mary Anning, an amazing influential palaeontologist who paved the way for women in the field. The discovery of the Ichthyosaur, the Ammonite Pavement and the Lyme Regis Museum. Spent such a fun day here that I will always remember 💙

The nuts were found down the NW end of Hanover Bay and are from the Ice Age. I’ve attached a photo of some I brought back (taken with certain permissions, please check what’s legal to take home when fossil hunting!!!)
