As a new member of Bluesky, I would like to start by sharing this 3D reconstruction of a fossil palm, Grimsdalea magnaclavata, characterized by its clavas (nail-like structures). This pollen grain was prevalent in the Neotropics during the Miocene.
Thanks to @smithsonianmag.bsky.social for highlighting the
Fossil Pollen collection at NMNH and the research we are developing with this collection

Get ready for the TMS Palynology Talks Speaker Series, starting in Sep. 22, 2025. We are excited to bring the palynological communitiy together to learn about the latests advantages and findings in this field.
STAY TUNE FOR MORE INFORMATION
