ESCONI November 2025 Paleontology Study Group Meeting – November 15th, 2025 at 7:30 PM via Zoom – “Gonioceras: A Most Unusual Cephalopod”
The November 2025 Paleontology Study Group Meeting will be held on November 15th, 2025 at 7:30 PM via Zoom. John Cataloni will be presenting “Gonioceras: A Most Unusual Cephalopod”. The diversity of nautiloid shell shapes in the Upper Ordovician of central Laurentia is remarkable. However, one shape is often missing from lists of shell shapes and that is the so-called “flat-fish” form of…

Really cool :)
I saw another commenter saying something about fossilised dragon tongue? :P
There are actually fossils made of gemstones!
A pliosaur specimen (nicknamed "Eric") was found in Australia, and it's made of opal.

This is the Paris Agreement's natural home for talks about phasing out fossil fuel subsidies & other forms of public finance for fossils, and instead scaling up public financial flows to renewable energy.
This year, talks are meant to come to a conclusion -- I'll be following closely.

But then I remembered that I work full time, enjoy multiple hobbies and that I'm a family man.
But it would be nice to do _more_.

Synchrotron scanning tech really shines when used with tiny fossils such as those from jawless fish. This includes bony scales on the body of Astraspis.
Investigation shows bone remodeling predates osteocytes!
