The peace of nature does not reflect the turmoil of my mind

Everybody in the US (probably elsewhere as well) is doom scrolling the election. Engagement for non-election tweets is non-existent. Seems a good time to post this rare platinum print, hand-colored, of the Caracol at #ChichenItza taken in the early 1900s by Edward H. Thompson.

No suspects have been caught for stealing over $20,000 worth of electronics and priceless artifacts from the VCU curation lab. This is an ongoing case.  Read more here: commonwealthtimes.org/2024/11/13/pri…

Just in time for #FossilFriday a wonderful print from the incomparable Mark Witton

December 13, 1640, birthday of British physician and naturalist Robert Plot. His "Natural History of Oxfordshire" (1677) features what is believed to be the first depiction of a #dinosaur bone... 🦴

Wow!! This is incredible!! 🐒

Our year-long investigation found that more than 3,100 children died at boarding schools between 1828 and 1970 and that more than 800 of those students are buried in cemeteries at or near the schools they attended. Here’s how we found our evidence. wapo.st/3DnIr9q

#paleoart Pterosaurs

おはようございます！ Good morning！ Buenos días！ Bonjour！ Egun on！ Bom dia！ 早安！

Despite being a year without landmark paleo docus, 2024 is a great year in terms of paleoart. Of all non-avian dinosaur-related finds in 2024 (newly-exhibited specimens + new papers), AT LEAST 98 feature accompanying paleoart (in-paper or in local/international news release)!

Ann Telnaes, who has worked at The Washington Post as an editorial cartoonist since 2008, says her cartoon below was killed — and now she has quit the paper

"As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that critical job. So I have decided to leave the Post." anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-quitt…

News! A Master's student I co-supervised (Marta) just finished her thesis, and did an amazing job! The accepting reviews also came back on a huge pterosaur paper linked to her research. Brace yourself for new research on the Late Jurassic Pterosaurs in the coming months 🦇🦴

Archaeology field school students from VCL visited Friday. They 3D-scanned a few artifacts in our collection, and we put them to work assisting us with a cleaning of our ham case. #fieldtripfriday #futuremuseumprofessionals
