@hankgreen.bsky.social Mars Life - there are some really good examples of bacterial bodyfossils preserved in goethite (an iron oxyhydroxide) after gregite/pyrite/mackinawite that can be used as an example of what could be found on Mars. Checkout my open access paper on it: tinyurl.com/2z8jcymw

We're delighted to announce today that our next book will be coming to Kickstarter early next year. Professor Primula's Portfolio of Palaeontology is the sequel book to Dr Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs, expanding on the same topics. Expect dinos, mammals, and more! #dnd #dnd5e #dinosaur #scicomm

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy.
Darwinius masillae. A fossil primate preserved beautifully in a near fetal position, with all of its bone articulated and fur covering its body.

Check out this BlueSky exclusive from PalaeoGames upcoming D&D book from our successful #Kickstarter tinyurl.com/2bccfxma. @markwitton.bsky.social is the lead paleoartist on this project and has done an outstanding job! Carcharodontosaurus rocks in at CR 10 #paleoart #sciart #paleontology #dnd #d&d
The massive, beautifully illustrated, predatory theropod dinosaur Carcharodontosaurus tramples across a Bahariya Formation delta waterway, thundering into a rebbachisaurid sauropod dinosaur, toppling it into the water. Maw agape above its neck, Carcharodontosaurus is about the make the kill.
