See you there!

#FossilFriday

For everyone attending #PalAss24 this week, good luck! If your work was supported by us, please tag us 🙂

We are delighted to sponsor a project by the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust, providing educational boxes of responsibly sourced fossils to schools in England and Wales. They've just delivered their 100th box - well done! Hopefully inspiring palaeo researchers of the future 💪

#FossilFriday: the early Jurassic pliosaur Rhomalaeosaurus cramptoni. Its discovery is often attributed to #MaryAnning, but it was found a year after her death by quarrymen in Yorkshire. And this example, in the Natural History Museum in London, is a plaster cast; the original specimen is in Dublin.

For #FossilFriday here’s the holotype partial skull of the procolophonid Hwiccewyrm, which we described last year from the Late Triassic of SW England. Named for the ancient kingdom of Hwicce and the Old English for dragon. More procolophonid material from the same site coming soon!

📢There's still time to nominate for the Marsh #Palaeoart Award! It recognises talent in depicting the extinct fossil faunas of the British Isles. This year's guest judge is the amazing @bobnichollsart.bsky.social
Closing date 25th Nov. Full details: palaeosoc.org/grants-prize... #paleoart
