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 😂)

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).
