I discovered a classic translation of Schweitzer from the Babelfish era (think late 1990s version of Google translate….)

I had a great time in Copenhagen studying ‘Cephalopteris’ and Archaeopteris from our Uppsala-led Greenland project.

World's largest scorpion lived in Britain 415 million years ago

Fossils from Britain confirm Praearcturus gigas was a giant scorpion more than a meter long in the Early Devonian.

Who’s ever seen a Rhynie Chert fossil like this? A Rhynia prepared by the late David Edwards, recently returned to us by his family.

On the left- Archaeopteris in the Smithsonian today. On the right - Prototaxites in the New York State Museum last week. Neither supported by modern anatomicsl studies. Long way to go with this stuff………

A couple of days in the Catskills and New York State museum. Here Bill Stein mulls over our latest theory, Prototaxites is a big halloween hand which grew out of New Yorkers front laws during Halloween, 380 million years ago.

I'm taking a look at the Rhynie Chert again, so I made a quick size chart of the plants I've already illustrated from it. These plants are some of the earliest land #plants, being from the Early #Devonian. From left to right: Asteroxylon, Horneophyton and Aglaophyton. #paleoart #paleobotany #sciart

Three primative plants on a size chart. On the left is a green thick stemmed plant with horizontal stems which curve upwards, with branded tuberous roots growing down. Behind it is the pale silhouette of a hand. Middle is a plant composed of dense intertwining clusters of narrow dichotomising stems. A callout bubble showing the roots is on the left of it. On the right is a green stemmed plant with outh curved arching horizontal stems and upright dichotomising stems which end in orange brown oval shaped sporangia.

These four trees grew in very different climates and atmospheres. Their preserved structures can provide clues about the ancient environments they once lived in. Scientists use these specimens to chart historic climate change and make predictions about the future of our planet. 🌍
