Happy #NationalFossilDay! Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to study this awesome fossil whale, Eosqualodon langewieschei; and the local paper decided to write an article! I will be at SVP in a few weeks to present my findings, so stay tuned🐬

#OTD in 1970, the Oregon Highway Division consulted with the U.S. Navy and decided the best way to dispose of a whale carcass was to blow it up with a 1/2 ton of dynamite. The explosion caused blubber to rain down on spectators for over a 1/4 of a mile. The TV segment is classic.

Proud to announce that my dissertation defense is this Wednesday at 10 am ET! @ my colleagues from UW, please DM me if you would like a zoom link to my defense. I am excited to share my work!

A peaceful view of Mount St. Helens on Sept 28, 1979 (Mount Adams can be seen in the background). Just seven months later, it would erupt, sending volcanic ash 80,000 feet into the air. 🌋 More here: ow.ly/uDYt50BBxQZ #MagmaMonday #volcanoes #MtStHelens

Do you know what time of the month it is?! It's time to break out the aluminum silicate fluoride hydroxide gemstones! That's right, the topaz! It's an 8 on the Mohs Hardness Scale and can come in many colors! ow.ly/GP7L50Q2R0h 📸: Smithsonian

Half a billion years ago a volcano erupted and sent pyroclastic flows into the sea! 🌋 The ash smoothed the animals living on the seafloor and created the best-preserved trilobites ever discovered. 😮 Check out the fossils for #FossilFriday 👇 nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/…
