Emma Bernard presenting her research as part of @chalksea.bsky.social that samples chalk nannofossils fossils from over 1000 Cretaceous fossil fish specimens at @nhm-london.bsky.social to significantly clarify their stratigraphic context.

Coccolithophores (calcareous nannofossils) described from the early Triassic, pushing back their earliest known fossil record by 40 million years! 🧪 #paleontology

I’ve assumed that the diatom fossil record was more helpful in resolving early diatom evolution than it actually is. Karolina Brulka sets the record straight at #MLD8, revealing that Lower Jurassic Pyxidicula fossils were most likely calcareous nannofossils

#nannofossils have such an amazing structural complexity making them a joy to work with. And my phone becoming a real asset as a microscope camera for my Zeiss Axio.A1. Here a peak at Reticulofenestra umbilicus from the base of zone NP16 in the Eocene

The Micropalaeontological Society (TMS) is a registered charity aiming to advance the education of the public in the study of Micropalaeontology through our five specialist groups - Foraminifera, Nannofossils, Ostracods, Palynology, and Silicofossils.

Nannofossils consist of calcium carbonate, as do zooplankton today which are experiencing danger of dissolution due to a decreasing ocean pH. Poet Samantha has also written a poem about ocean acidification published in WATCH YOUR HEAD. Read or listen to the starry poem here!

Do you like to stargaze (for fossils)?! For #FossilFriday, you can read a PalaeoPoem by Samantha Jones about tiny star-like fossils called nannofossils! Nannofossils are fossilized skeletons of aquatic planktonic organisms. Plank-tastic art by Bejamin Chandler! 🧪 Science 🐡#SciArt

“The best part of the plate business is that it has made us all start communicating. People who squeeze rocks and people who identify deep ocean nannofossils and people who map faults in Montana suddenly all care about each others’ work. I think I spend half my time just talking and...👇🏼
