Happy #FossilDay! Oct 15 is the #FossilDay in Japan! Here is the first fossil crocodile (the one I was holding) from Japan! Interestingly, this crocodile - now known as Toyotamaphimeia taiwanica - was found from Taiwan and published in 1936 when Taiwan was part of Japan.

Born #OnThisDay in 1934 was astronomer, astrobiologist and science communicator Carl Sagan. As well as being one of the world's greatest science communicators, he worked on the Viking and Mariner missions. Listen to his famous 'Pale Blue Dot' monologue: bit.ly/2ANRX30
