For #FossilFriday a skull of the arctocyonid Claenodon ferox from the lower Paleocene (about 62.5 million years ago) Nacimiento Formation. Like many Paleocene mammals, Claenodon had large canines and accomodated huge jaw closing muscles, but the braincase housed a relatively small brain.

Jupiter and its giant moon Ganymede captured early Sunday morning using a homemade 12.5" telescope and a ZWO ASI662mc camera. Hard to believe that images like these can be captured with a relatively simple backyard telescope. #high-resolution #planetary #astrophotography
