Say hello to Galahadosuchus! 👋🏻 This new species of crocodile, which looked like a 'reptilian greyhound', would once have roamed southern Wales and southwest England on the hunt for anything it could fit in its snappy little mouth 🐊🦴 Find out more about it 👇🏻 www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

I am ABSOLUTELY reading this as HARD PROOF that Romans farmed ichthyosaurs. It is fact now. Sorry.

A favorite for #FossilFriday: this exquisite skull of the late Permian therocephalian Ictidosuchoides from the upper Madumabisa Mudstone Formation of #Zambia 🇿🇲 Check out those post dentary bones! 👂🏻? @burkemuseum.bsky.social

Guess who’s turning 217 today? It’s Charles Darwin! 🥳 Born in 1809, he transformed the way we understand the natural world. He developed the theory of evolution by natural selection in his 1859 best-seller, ‘On the Origins of Species’. Send him your birthday wishes in the comments! 👇

My new favourite information panels featuring in any museum is this one in the “Giants” exhibit at National Museum of Scotland featuring an elderly man who is so happy to see sloths he wants to give them a hug 🦥

HELLO?? Unbelievably cool critter here!! My paleoart plans for the weekend have changed dramatically

Jeffrey Epstein was a monster who ruined the lives of many young women. It's maddening how many scientists & universities were chasing after his money, even after his crimes were known. Were I in that generation of scientists, I pray I would have had the fortitude to avoid this psycho.

We’re obsessed with this Tylosaurus from the Saint-Vrain Zoological Park, South of Paris, that opened in the mid-1970s and closed in 1999. The site has remained in an abandoned state, and it seems that this and various other prehistoric statues are still there!

Good news: Fossil walks are back at Hugh Miller’s Birthplace! 🎉 Join us in Cromarty & travel back 385 million years to find the fossilised remains of animals that lived long before the dinosaurs! 🦖 Find out more & book tickets online - www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/fossil-walks-2026-tickets-1980371654930

I think one of the most frustrating things for many neurodivergent people is that we cannot understand why people don’t give a fuck about things that could make the world a better and kinder place - that’s what happens when your emotional circuitry doesn’t work “effectively”

Jurassic World: Rebirth. Now we can say: the Oscar-nominated Jurassic World: Rebirth! Huge congrats to everyone at @ilmvfx.bsky.social , especially pal David Vickery! The visual effects in the film are truly awesome. Just look at those titanosaurs. So well deserved!

A fossil from a lifeform which once towered over the ancient landscape is to go on display at the National Museum of Scotland

Always fun saying these things existed on our Hugh Miller museum fossil walks

Wonderful things 🌌

Happy post-Christmas 🎄

British folk. If Farage gets his way, it's a guarantee, life for British immigrants will turn hellish. People like me and my family could get deported. This will destroy our lives, but also make your lives worse. Please, do not sit in silence.

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.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Just listened to the 'eels' episode of @robinince.bsky.social's Infinite Monkey Cage, and I have to say that if I'd seen all this series' episode titles in advance, I would NOT have predicted that would end up being the most fascinating episode so far 🤯 share.google/RrijNuqRkYNQ...

This is without question the most realistic cgi creature I have ever seen - absolute stellar job the animators on Prehistoric Planet Ice Age did, I was blown away by this Gigantopithecus 🦧 The segment itself was also absolutely heartbreaking on top of that…

Sharing for no particular reason

I’ve just spent an hour watching Saturn’s rings for the first time thanks to a new telescope lens - I’m speechless! 🪐 Admittedly it’s a fuzzy line, but given Saturn is 740 million miles away and the ring is about a metre deep that’s not bad! 🔭 Even saw some of its moons for the first time too! 🌒

Ever wondered what a water bottle rocket looks like from launch pad POV? Wonder no more! 🚀

My reaction to this information:

The Voyager probe, launched in 1977 to explore beyond our Solar System, contains this picture of a balding man eating a slice of toast.

How to get kids interested in space science with zero budget? Pinweheel galaxy paper windmills! 🌌 Our first after school astronomy activity at Hugh Miller's Birthplace Museum is tomorrow at 3:30pm!

Nature isn’t a “blocker” – it makes our lives better. Our coast, countryside, heritage and wildlife underpin our food, water and health and put millions of pounds into the economy. The Government must not weaken the laws that protect them.

This scale image of Westlothiana makes me laugh - looks like the tetrapod is about to get splatted 😄

Finally some good news!

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them 🥀 Great Granduncle Malcolm MacKillop (second from right). Killed on 11th April 1918 on the Western Front

Amazing news to start the week! 🎉 German travel giant DERTOUR will no longer sell tickets to dolphinariums or attractions keeping whales & dolphins in captivity. After years of campaigning, this is a major win for whales & dolphins. Your turn, TUI. It's time to do the right thing.

Playing with museum magnets and meteorites ☄️ Prepping for Hugh Miller’s Birthplace Museum’s first ever #AstronomyMonth! 🪐

Yes, the #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge trailer is out today...

I’ve spent the past hour creating the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs on Jurassic World Evolution 3 🦖 Yes this is a blueprint available on the workshop - share code: 0T0-NS0-9FK workshop.frontierstore.net/mod/item/7569680688410109368 Did I do Waterhouse Hawkins proud, @cpdinosaurs.bsky.social?
