A chunk of Weald Clay from SE England, covered with fragments of ferns, conifers and other seed plants from 130 million years ago.
Mesofossils may not look as appealing as large hand specimens, but can provide a better snapshot of vegetation.

Here's a dinosaur footprint I found on the beach at the Isle of Wight last month. The tridactyl, rounded shape indicates it's likely a big ornithopod, similar to Iguanodon

The most complete skeleton of a woolly mammoth unearthed in Michigan is to be found in the Museum of Natural History, Andrews University. The museum's located in Price Hall, named for young-Earth creationist George McCready Price (who's discussed at length in my book doncha know) #FossilFriday

A dinosaur perk was that worn teeth got replaced. A section of the lower jaw of a big iguanodontian from the #IsleofWight shows the process. Tooth replacement was organised in waves known as Zahnreihen, so that large sections of the jaw weren’t left toothless (enlarge to see numbers). #FossilFriday

Wes Streeting spins that he/Labour gave a 28.9% pay ⬆️ - UNTRUE
Resident Drs pay was 35% lower (real terms) than Drs that had worked 15y before them
A higher drop than any other public or private sector job
28.9% - 13% inflation = 15.9% pay restoration so far
Approximately 20% to go

How many had a 28.9% pay rise!
ANSWER - EVERYONE WHO DIDN’T HAVE SUCH A BIG CUT
If you hadn’t had the cut your haven’t needed the rise!
It really is that simple - shouldn’t be this hard

Alethopteris, a seed fern from the Carboniferous swamp forests 300 million years ago. This specimen is from Kansas. The fossils are on undulating bedding planes, and the specimen has beautiful brown tones (I'm used to darker, flatter UK coal measures material!)

For #FossilFriday a sacrum from a medium sized iguanodontian in the collections of @nhm-london.bsky.social. Found at Sudmoor Point on the #IsleofWight by Reginald Hooley a wine merchant from Southampton who also discovered the fabulous Mantellisaurus in 1914. Iggy sacra are so aesthetic.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.
