This is the third paper from my thesis 👏. This time focusing on paleobiogeographical interpretations with 6 unique species. Fossil wood is a treasure trove of information waiting to be unearthed 🌳. Many thanks to @annbot.bsky.social for this thread #fossilwood #paleobotany #gondwana

This fossil plant is hands down the best fossil I've come across in the wild 🌿 Both @geologyjohnson.bsky.social and I squealed with excitement at this fossil find! Look at the detail 😍 Whitby plant beds, Ravenscar group Middle Jurassic (aalenian stage) #FossilFriday #paleontology #geology

It's #FossilFriday, let's dive into some amazing fossil lobsters from France! A recent article from some colleagues at the @cr2p.bsky.social studied beautifully preserved lobsters from La-Voulte-sur-Rhône (162 Mya). X-ray synchrotron tomography revealed internal soft organs and even allowed sexing!

For #FossilFriday here is a mandala of some raw fragments of fossil wood. You have Fabaceae, Moraceae and Dipterocarpaceae here. #paleobotany #wood #fossil

Avec Jurassic Park, dès qu'on parle du Jurassique, on pense aux dinosaures, et pis… c'est tout ! Sauf qu'en fait, il y avait plein d'autres bêbêtes à cette époque, et ça le @mnhn.fr le montre bien dans sa nouvelle expo lumineuse ! Je vous emmène : youtu.be/hCWgyjm_6oY

Nouveau reportage Nota Bonus avec le Muséum National d'Histoire de Paris sur son exposition lumineuse "Jurassique en voie d'illumination". On me voit face à un des dinosaures de l'exposition, sur un fond illuminé de différentes couleurs, et avec entre nous l'expression "Jurassic Woaw !".

Very nice exhibition at the Human museum Migration: a human odyssey “aims to put the phenomenon of migration into perspective by providing a reliable overview of the current state of knowledge. Migration is a constant and regular phenomenon that is inseparable from the history of humanity.”@mnhn.fr

Throwback to the time I spent chipping Gundelia #seeds, only to discover they didn’t really need chipping—just patience and cold temperatures! These are my chipping tools... and the internal structure of the fruits. 🌱❄️🧪 The paper: doi.org/10.1007/s107...
