Just updated my SHADOWBOX player map to include some new additions. In recent months, we've picked up our first players in Algeria, Slovenia, Guatemala, and Uruguay! Here's aiming to close out Year 1 of beta testing with 500 total players... 🤞

It's time for a Microstream! This week, I'm sifting through yet more 80-million-year-old sediment, which last time yielded this fish tooth... www.youtube.com/live/nGbzLCW...

& also, I might be working on a virtual exhibit to help visually tell the story of Glossopteris as well...

Just out this morning, a special (& free) bonus blog for Halloween: The Ghost of Glossopteris www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-...

This is a spooky tale about extinction, climate change, and our obligation to protect the living world.

In case you missed it, here's the recording of Monday's stream showing what's new in my FREE virtual museum project! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD4z... #fossils #UE5

One more... here's an Eocene-aged ant trapped in amber, now on display in the Geological Eras Tour!

Also check out this new display in the Naco Formation featuring agatized brachiopod shells!

A new update for SHADOWBOX is out now (Windows Beta 1.55)! There are some new fossils on display, such as this dinosaur eggshell... store.steampowered.com/news/app/299...

Hard at work preparing the next SHADOWBOX update, set to release with FOUR new exhibits! Here is a sneak peek at the Moenkopi Formation, a rock unit that dates back to the Triassic Period...

Sneak peek at the updated SHADOWBOX lobby! Next update (Windows Beta 1.4) should be pushed in the next week or so...

An integral part of museum exhibit design is hiding pride flags everywhere

Where in the world are SHADOWBOX players? This is a map of (the majority of*) beta testers to date. It's incredible to me that folks around the world have gotten up close and personal with #fossils primarily from here in the Southwest, including many that I've collected myself! 👀 Alt text for list.

Throwback to when I got transvestigated in the YouTube comments of a Menefee Expedition video
