Is this a turtle claw from the Utahraptor Megablock. If so it is huge for the mid-Mesozoic of North America? @heatherfsmith.bsky.social

A few years ago, Bill Nye the science guy debated creationist Ken Ham about evolution. The last question was "what would change your mind?"
Bill Nye said "Evidence."
Ken Ham said "Nothing can possibly change my mind about this."
I think about that a lot.

Steady state theory of evolution does not reflect the history of life. I am more a fan of reticulate evolution. Things go well, populations expand and gene pool diversifies and given a crisis gene pool diversity and populations contract... www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

If you're fond of telling your fellow Thanksgiving diners that the turkey is indeed a dinosaur, then I've got an infographic for you
From the hips to the wishbone to the wrist joint, a turkey features SCADS of dinosaurian traits visible right there on your Thanksgiving table. Print and share!

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Also, adorable Edmontosaur toe beans. You needn’t be a Mammal to have toe beans. Hooves and all, these count. Not convinced? See Fig. 3. I will die on this hill.

For #fossilfriday here is the Golden Gate walrus - a partial snout and tusk of a walrus dredged from late Pleistocene sediments on the seafloor below the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco! This is the southernmost record of modern walrus in the eastern Pacific. On display @calacademy.bsky.social

Here's a dinosaur trace for this week's #FossilFriday — a footprint of a large 'carnosaur' (likely a carcharodontosaur) at the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Track Site outside of Moab, Utah.
This is easily one of the most impressive dinosaur track sites in the world, and it honestly needs more protection
