In case you missed it: here's the q&a document I sent out to students this week about where we're up to with #UCUrising. Feel free to borrow/adapt. docs.google.com/document/d/1YL…

A special #Arachtober #FossilFriday for your Halloween weekend! 🎃🕷️ Our cast of the Hollier specimen of EOPHRYNUS PRESTVICHII Buckland, 1837 A trigonotarbid gorgeously preserved in a late Carboniferous siderite concretion from the West Midlands - as seen in 3D! Russell Garwood

Ten pocit, když po několika dnech dokončíte rekonstrukci trilobitích miminek do připravovaného článku... ---------- That moment when you finally finish reconstruction of trilobite babies for your new manuscript...

I finally landed my hands on our latest textbook, the legendary “Invertebrates,” originally written by the Brusca brothers! Oxford University Press Museum of Comparative Zoology @mczlibrary Harvard Organismic & Evolutionary Biology #invertebrates

Should anyone miss arachnid/insect #FossilFriday posts and the occasional random thought I remember to tweet, you can find me at @[email protected] (What was a toe in the water became a full swim when it turned out Mastadon has a host of features I rather like...)
