This one’s a heart-breaker, but I absolutely love it. My Star Trek: Wrath of Khan oil painting commission is complete. Print pre-orders open June 1st! Sign up for my monthly newsletter (🔗 in my 🅱️i0!) for an early reminder! #StarTrek

What We Left Behind, the documentary about the making and impact of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is now free to watch on YouTube, if you fancy getting teary-eyed and overly emotional on a Friday morning. #StarTrek #DS9 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3u3W...

1 of #365Minerals 🧪⚒️

Quetzalcoatlite:
- Named after Quetzalcoatl, an Aztec and Toltec god of the sea, due to its sea-blue colour
- Forms in the oxidised zone of tellurium-bearing hydrothermal deposits #minerals
- This below is a co-type specimen (one of the specimens used to define the species)

On mountains and sense of scale: the climber here is on top of Mt Adams, 37 miles away from Mt St Helens, that debris cloud in the second picture is something like 10 to 12 miles wide.

Finally making use of the pinned post feature...

#FossilFriday Enigmatic microbial structures composed of silica plates, filamentous organic matter, and a single type of acritarch. This example is a mid- #Proterozoic mudstone bedding plane. Details in the alt text. #Geology #Paleontology

#FossilFriday‼️ Cephalopod time! 😀 Internal molds of nautiloid air chambers exposed in a limestone in central Alabama. Nautiloids can be abundant in some Paleocene rocks in the state. Specimen @almnh.bsky.social collection. Discovered by Research Associate Prescott Atkinson. #paleontology #fossil

Happy #FossilFriday, check out the skull of Protoreodon! While the top of the skull is somewhat crushed, the teeth are overall well-preserved; take a look those cute little canines! This little animal is an ancient and distant relative to modern artiodactyls, such as deer and cattle.

🌊🕯️ Ancient amber reveals lost tsunamis?

A study of Cretaceous deep-sea amber in Japan suggests massive tsunamis once swept forests into the open ocean, leaving rare resin traces on the seafloor.
