#MolluscMonday Small (<2 cm) glycymerid bivalve shell with characteristic taxodont dentition. Photographed on a building stone (almost certainly Oligocene Calcaire à astéries) in St Émilion, the famous centre for Bordeaux wine.

Forget pervert glasses - what about smart plugs? Me on domestic abusers taking over home devices as.ft.com/r/8f4ab2f1-4... How smart tech is being weaponised in the home

These bring me so much joy

For #FossilFriday a rare shark’s head in lagoonal sediments from the earliest Aptian of the #IsleofWight. About 30 cms across. A row of teeth can be seen across the lower jaw. On display at #DinosaurIsleMuseum.

#FossilFriday Field photograph of a belemnite, partly wrapped in seaweed, eroding out of Lower Jurassic rocks on the Yorkshire coast. A human finger points to this ‘witch’s finger’, one of the multitude of folklore names coined for belemnites.

My son just told me is favourite sentence is: “I didn’t say we should kill him” because if you emphasise each different word it changes the entire meaning

Orkneys first Blue cheeked Bee eater, first found by Paul and Jakey around Clestrain whilst out on the quadbike. A nervous wait, but relieved to find it again around around Hundland where still present this evening #BirdingOrkney #RareBirdsUK

Seen in an old cookbook, a recipe that resonates with me today.

This fossil is of a lobed-finned fish named Osteolepsis macrolepidotus and was found in Scotland. The Devonian Period (named after fossils first found in Devon, England), is known as "The age of fishes" and was fish transformed into three major groups: lobe-finned, ray-finned, and sharks.

We will have a 23 month research associate role opening to support our work on mammal fossils from the Isle of Skye. Open to candidates with substantial CT-segmentation experience with Masters or PhD qualifications. Advert should be out next week - will post soon but do get in touch if of interest.

While Spain and Portugal battle it out in the football World Cup, the Iberian contest of the rudist limestones pits a red Ezcaray pavement in Spain against the floor of Porto railway station in Portugal.

It's another stunning 2026 find for July's Fossil of the Month! Tony Gill found this rock showing a hint of ammonite back in January. Some expert prep work from Kayleigh Gill has revealed this stunning, rare ammonite, an ancestor to the ones found up in Yorkshire! #FossilFriday

Just a moment of appreciation for our Minerals gallery! 😍💎 From sparkling gems to striking minerals from around the world, there’s so much to explore! Did you know that the specimens are displayed in original 19th century oak cabinets?

Just been out for an early run here in Hannover. 25C at 7am but the reason I could go out is the shade - lots of trees here in lovely long avenues. The UK is going to need much more of this. And trees take time to grow, so we’d better start now!

More from the old meadows, Wood tiger moth, Painted ladies, & Marsh fritillaries.

Reminds me of this one from Pompei

A #Roman mosaic octopus, found in a villa at Villaquejida (Spain) - laid some 1800-1900 years ago, but still looking fabulous today #MosaicMonday #AncientBlueSky

11 year old Emily found this fossil fish at Charmouth. Emily took it to Steve Etches, who after careful examination identified it as a fish! It would've been swimming in the Jurassic seas alongside ammonites and ichthyosaurs #fossilfriday

This is an embarrassing image for the UK. A self-respecting British fox should be dragging Binface's contents out over the stage

The next visitors to the Emerald City.

#FossilFriday The iconic Triassic crinoid Encrinus liliformis. This example from Braunschweig, Germany is on display in the Palaeontological Museum in Oslo.

commisserations to both the accounts affected by this.

Here are three different types of beetle I saw this week! 1. Thick-legged Flower Beetles (Oedemera nobilis) 2. The Wasp Beetle (Clytus arietis) 3. The Fairy-ring Longhorn Beetle (Pseudovadonia livida) 🌼

Did some riverfly sampling training in Eyemouth today with @riverflies.bsky.social Good fun and looking forward to setting up a new regular monitoring site near my home.

Makerfield or bust: Burnham goes for broke Political Fix has been on location this week, talking to voters and hearing from candidates Here's our take, from a local pub, on this potentially seismic contest w/ @jenwilliamsft.bsky.social & @pickardje.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m...

After years trying (& failing) to photograph Springtails, I can't believe TWO of these minuscule invertebrates photobombed the pic I took of a Tormentil flower earlier this week. I only noticed them after downloading the image to my laptop. Aren't they ADORABLE?! Look @ed-phillips.bsky.social!

Wildflowers to wish you a happy Friday from here in lovely Cambridgeshire 💕

I am recruiting PhD students for my new lab housed in the Sam Noble Museum at University of Oklahoma! If you are interested in fish macroevolution, geometric morphometrics, specimen-based research & phylogenomics please reach out. More info here: fishdiversitylab.weebly.com Please share widely!!!

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

Look what I found in the woods in my yard! This is Monotropa uniflora, aka "ghost pipes." They are parasitic plants, with no chlorophyll of their own, that feed from fungal networks in the soil. The fungi, in turn, are connected to nearby tree roots, which provide sugars. #nativeplants

#FossilFriday Palaeozoic corals in the polished facing stone of the Loro Piana shop at Hong Kong Airport. A welcome diversion during a long stopover.

Beautiful spring hedgerows and verges on my walks this week 💜🌷💚 #wildflowerfriday #flowersonfriday

It's Turtely Tuesday!! On this Turtely Tuesday I wanna highlight the Indochinese Box Turtle (Cuora galbinifrons) which is a critically endangered species found in China and Vietnam. They are also known as the flowerback box turtle due to their beautiful distinct shell patterns #turtles #cute #nature

I took my grandson up to nearby Bodmin Moor, with a 'tick list' of birds we hoped to find, including Meadow Pipits, Skylarks, Stonechats, Wheatears, and Cuckoos. Look who we turned up, just moments into our walk! We found all the other birds on our list too. T'was a great bird spotting day!

Just spotted this on the post box opposite @nhm-london.bsky.social - very wholesome content and possibly one of the most heartfelt tributes I’ve seen to the great man

Green hairstreaks were enjoying the Gorse today.

Did u know? Don't grow plants in your garden just because you think they look pretty. Grow plants that are indigenous, fit into the ecosystems, like your soil & feed & shelter small souls. Ragwort is native to 🇬🇧, provides pollen/nectar for 55'ish insects & feeds Cinnabar moth caterpillars. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐦‍⬛

Join us in wishing a massive happy 100th birthday to the man who has inspired millions of people around the world to care about nature and look after our planet - the incredible Sir David Attenborough! 🎉

5 hours left to vote in the Scottish Parliament election! Are you on your way back from work? Nip to the polling station before you get too comfy at home! Also, if you have a postal vote and you haven't returned it, never fear: you can hand it in at your local polling place!

Look, I know that I'm basically the most politically engaged of the politically engaged... But...I managed to vote today despite suffering significant seizures. So if I can, you can. Vote.

We have a wild hedgehog who lives in our garden and is friends with our cat (this isn’t their first meeting, they know each other well)

Got up early in hopes of catching this photo before work this morning. There's only a few days each year where it's cool enough in the morning to make this shot possible. Thankfully, today was one of those days! #wildlife #birds
