Fun fact: Crustacean fossils can glow under UV-light, revealing more details. Seen here is Palaeastacus from the Jurassic Solnhofen, found inside the old collection of Johann Jakob Scheuchzer.

Happy #FossilFriday! This is Maiacetus, a 47 million-year-old early whale from Pakistan, hanging out @ummnh.bsky.social 🧪
I helped prep this fossil in undergrad 🤩 (and was totally freaked out by it when it was mounted on a hanging frame in the dark basement of the old museum 😂)

Trackway found in Kenya shows that H. erectus and P. boisei basically lived side-by-side, which is bonkerballs cool!

1.5 million-year-old footprints reveal our Homo erectus ancestors lived with a 2nd proto-human species
A set of footprints found at the site of Koobi Fora in Kenya reveals that our ancestor Homo erectus coexisted with a now-extinct bipedal hominin, Paranthropus boisei, 1.5 million years ago.

For #FossilFriday check out this beautifully preserved fossil millipede! Meet Pleurojulus, a 305 million year old animal from the USA. The fossil preserves details including the head (marked h, in the top image), with chewing mouthparts (marked m).
