If you care about keeping the Academy of Natural Sciences open to the public in Philadelphia, I need you to read and share this thread. Trish Wellenbach was sent from the mayor's office to oversee the Academy of Natural sciences situation. She needs to hear from us. Here comes the action item:

On the wall behind me is a life-sized Diabloceratops 3D-printed skull (it's HUGE), a 3D-printed trilobite (much larger than life-sized, but still smaller than the ceratopsid), the book Dinosaur Frontier by Christa Sadler (which features me!) and some scientific figures in frames, too

For this week's #FossilFriday, here's an unpolished field photo of the thumb claw of Trierarchuncus, held in the hand of @denverfowler.bsky.social on the day of its discovery by Jack Wilson, 15 July 2015. This claw would become the first catalogued specimen in the Badlands Dinosaur Museum (BDM 001)

Crummy, let's-snap-a-quick-one photo of the claw, with the articular end facing the viewer and the tip broken as it was found, in Denver's hand. Denver's field pack is open on the ground on the other side of the frame, with aluminum foil and other field implements peeking out
