My first two ArtFight attacks! Decided to go with a bigger variety of characters this year to practise all kinds of shapes 💖 #artfight #artfight2026

#FossilFriday Question: what is your favorite #Mesozoic bivalve. Post a pic and I'll do a quick paleo art of the coolest looking one.

Had a right gigull the other evening with @geologyjohnson.bsky.social 😂

Found myself today in a discussion on the right definition for one of my favorite rocks and least favorite terms - chalk. Give me your definitions! I want to see how conflicting they will get. ⚒️ (and to be cheeky, tagging @chalkyoceans.bsky.social on this)

What is it about smokers that makes them feel so entitled? The bus is no smoking, but there's a guy vaping and won't stop. Can these people not do without fruit flavoured nicotine for an hour? He's also a loud speaker phone guy. 😅

Off on the 3rd fossil tour in 7 days. Been windy on the coast so I'm hoping there will be lots to find.

G2 Spacecase, my second Cyberjet rendering. Reposts appreciated as always.

Bumblebeevil Bug Bite - last of the Gobot repaints. Reposts appreciated as always. #transformers #transformersart

#TrilobiteTuesday Gigantopygus bodoni from the Cambrian of Morocco, on display at the Palaeontological Museum in Oslo. Obliquely photographed to minimise reflectance from the glass top of the cabinet.

Ahem. Hello. Excuse us. OI!!! You’re all invited to the virtual world premiere of the first ever (audio) sitcom by and for autistic people (poor things). All the info is here - make sure you’re signed up to our Patreon (free counts) to attend!

In my latest article for @arstechnica.com I write about a new study that looks at the competition between the process that *reduces CO2* over geological timescales, versus organic carbon weathering, which *emits* CO2 over a similarly long timeframe. ⚒️🧪 arstechnica.com/science/2026...

This is why I lug 10lbs of camera gear into the backcountry. Had to wait until 3am for the moon to not wash everything out.

Human artists! Use four piece(s) to convince people to follow you!

Some nice trace #fossils and shots of #Whitby at sunset.

Oldest fossil on my desk are >3 billion years old but they are microscopic. Most are much younger and macroscopic though.

Good #fossil tour today. Found many ammonites, belemnites, reptile and fish bones including a large plesiosaur(?) vert, lots of dinosaur prints and a log complete with a epibionts. #geology #paleontology

Swimming into #FossilFriday

#FossilFriday: Psiloceras planorbis from the Lower Lias of Watchet in Somerset. From the collection of geologist and surveyor William Smith (1769–1839), purchased by @nhm-london.bsky.social in 1816.

We can't afford AC. Yesterday my younger brother got heat stress just from sitting in his room. I've had heat stroke so spotted the signs and got temp down before it escalated. It was still scary though. Any one who says AC is a luxury, is a grade-a numpty.

Every hometown's got the ominous megastructure, what's yours?

Thanks to emails from @paleosoc.bsky.social and @geosociety.bsky.social I've finally submitted my comment on the OMB changes that will devastate scientific funding if approved.

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Top quotes from Episode 1 of The Second Time Podcast, as decided by me, because I can do that.

There's a painting like this I saw in the art museum in Edinburgh that is of the Scottish highlands and it absolutely blew my socks off. Not that this one is too shabby, mind.

Welcome back to #TrilobiteTuesday Here is an enrolled Greenops boothi trilobite preserved in an Iron Pyrite nodule. This specimen comes from the Middle Devonian (Givetian) Window Shale in New York state.

Reminder! Next week on June 23, 2026 at #PalaeoPERCS we will be joined by Nicolas Stoll from the Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Italy. Sign up here: paleopercs.com/participate/ (2/2)

Welcome to our Paleobotany Week! 🌎During the next few days, @annbot.bsky.social will be highlighting articles from the Special Issue "Milestones and trends: the role of the fossil record in reconstructing plant evolution" 💡Stay tuned! #Paleobotany #PlantEvolution #FossilPlants #PlantScience

Same here. My 4TB Samsung T7 Shield cost $199.99 in November of 2023. This morning: $1,016.67. Moore's Law, 1965: for every dollar spent on RAM you get roughly twice as much computing power two years later. Anthropic's Law: go fuck yourself.

During the Silurian Period, 430 million years ago, equatorial reef systems developed in the seas. The reefs were home to all kinds of invertebrates and among the most plentiful were brachiopods, bryozoans, and gastropods, seen in this specimen in our collection.

My local library does all kinds of stuff aside from book, including sewing club. That's where I have been learning to 3D print, for e.g. The library is always busy and definitely feels like a community centre or hub.
