Ptero firma: Footprints pinpoint when ancient flying reptiles conquered the ground
Study links fossilised flying reptile tracks to animals that made them
#Fossils of footprints over 160 million years old have helped palaeontologists at the University of Leicester to narrow down when #pterosaurs adapted to live on the ground.

Found this lovely chunk of Jurassic limestone down by the river. Full of #fossils. Far too big to fit in my backpack sadly… #FossilFriday

terrible lizards, by @dave_hone and @iszi , has released a wonderful interview with Dr. Rebecca Hunt-Foster, paleontologist and curator at the US Dinosaur National Monument.
@dantheclamman , there are freshwater clam fossils in in the quarry with all those dinosaurs, but there are apparently no fish fossils! What the heck!

This week a new book was published on the Fossil Vertebrates of Louisiana, and it's free to download! Find out more about it on my blog, including links and backstory (no subscription needed - but I do take tips!).
TIRED : asking a human expert to identify your unknown rock.
WIRED : asking AI to identify a blurry photo of your rock and then uncritically accepting the results and telling everyone you have a meteorite because Google Lens said so.
This is happening a lot lately in the meteorite and rock collecting world.
TL;DR : AI is terrible at identifying rocks, fossils, and meteorites.

In der #landwirtschaft verfahren "wir" wie beim Heizen, wir nutzen #fossils (Erdgas) um den Ertrag zu steigern.
Derzeit direkt und legal aus Russland importiert, als ob Ammoniak-Dünger keine CO2-Emissionen mit sich bringen würde.
Ich wundere mich in diesem anhaltend trockenem Frühjahr über die Landwirtschaftsverbände, die nicht auf Bio setzen, sondern den Agrardiesel gefördert sehen wollen, obwohl es bei der #klimakatastrophe um ihre ökonomische Lebensgrundlage geht.

Fossil clue suggests echidna ancestors lived in water like platypus
By Ellen Phiddian
A study of a 100 million-year-old bone suggests the ancient relative of the echidna and the platypus was semiaquatic — and echidnas moved back to the land from the water as they evolved.

Spinosaurus at the Munich Show 2024.
This special exhibition marked the first time that a skeleton of this enigmatic dinosaur went on display in Munich after the original specimens from the Bahariya Oasis of Egypt were destroyed during World War II.

is there direct evidence of green color preserved in any Mesozoic animal fossils? I seem to recall that as recently as 5 years ago, green was still one of the colors which had not then been found preserved in Mesozoic animal fossils, because most animal greens are partly based on cartenoids, which have much worse preservation potential.
(this question inspired by this thread: https://toot.lgbt/@Akki/114415031509723664 )
@KateShaw has made a new episode about coelecanths. First the 1938 find of a real coelecanth and Margery Courtenay Latimer, (after whom the genus of the coelecanth, Latimeria, is named), a wonderful story.
Then she calls out a recent hoax, referencing @idoubtit 's recent coverage of the same hoax.
Finally another real coelecanth discovery, off North Maluku.
