Yesterday afternoon in Florence (latitude 43.77 N, further north than NY or Toronto) it was 20 degrees C. Trees have been blooming for about 3 weeks now & it's still February. I'd like to say that this isn't normal, but it's been like this for years now #climatechange

the Sand #seastar Astropecten irregularis, a carnivorous #starfish that feeds on #molluscs, spends the day buried under sandy sediment. This gorgeous #fossil from the Emilia Romagna region shows they have inhabited the #Mediterranean for at least 2.5 million years

as an added bonus, because one of the rocks used was rosso ammonitico, there are actual fossil ammonites mixed with the fake ones
