Oh no Lucy!

Anyone got a contact for custom stuffed animals in bulk?

Pyrite disease claims a tray full of French ammonites

Intentionally bought a fake fossil crab because of how well done it was. Some sort of cast with stone like material and weighted to give the proper feel

For my fossil friends: ya I’m unintentionally building a Carboniferous Kinney Brick Quarry of NM collection

Was surfing auctions and I think there's a piece of Uranium glass as slag?

Oh ya I ordered a “crab claw cocktail” at a place and this was not quite what I expected

Woah, essentially: guy has been money laundering billions in Singapore and settled with Interpol to drop charges in exchange for 3 Dinosaurs he bought from Christie’s and 12 apartments. They will be resold and he gets 25%. www.scmp.com/news/world/e...

Nano’s back on the menu boys!

Traumatizing artifact “Lucille” from The Walking Dead is up for auction

It has been brought to my attention that the 7 ft tall Crystal of Truth from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (2019) is up for auction

A pic of fossil hunter Frank Garcia and his bone layer discovery in the Leisey Shell pit of Florida back in 1983. Am exceptionally rich layer of mammal and other bones

Hey paleonerds, guess who just won a Roy Chapman Andrews signed letter in an auction!

What? Light bulbs that store a little power so they’ll work in a power outage? YES

Do you like silver? Do you like old foreign coins? Well here’s a pile I’m too lazy to deal with, they’re a variety of silver coins from 50-90% silver content. So I’m selling it at bulk at $1.50 a gram by the scoop, just DM me how much you want. $5 US shipping.

It looks like Dinosaur Field Station of NJ is closing and selling their Dino sculptures

Turning a haunted building into a data center? There’s gonna be ghosts in the machine? vista.today/2025/09/form...

Woah, a Darwin letter on carnivorous plants. That bid is underpriced at the moment

Surfing auctions, there's a handwritten Mozart piece, but I can't afford it

At Colonial Williamsburg and spotted an ammonite. So where’s this stone from because there are no ammonite-bearing quarries for hundreds of miles.

Apparently Ghislaine went dino hunting with Epstein and RFK Jr in the 90's

I love it when my commercial paleo friends tell me about a new discovery they made previously unfound in North America and it's being donated / published on in a year. Hint: 🥚

Oh no! I didn’t know the company that made ecospheres closed!

I see a Martian meteorite sold for a lot of money and Niger wants it back… and Paul Sereno is the one pushing them to protect their cultural heritage…

One-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-other

Was reading up on some of Jefferson’s fossil collection and…

Anyone know a lot about French Legion of Honor medals from 1814-1830?

Interesting little paleo artifact: an envelope addressed to O.C. Marsh sent from Medicine Bow, Wyoming during the height of the Bone Wars

This is becoming a new pet peeve for me: every time some natural event happens, all the meteorologists suddenly think they’re experts in it. Meteor fall = meteorologists become meteoriticists Earthquake / tsunami = meteorologists become geoscientists They should stick to their lane.

Who wants to join me and mess with nature?

Some spheres I recently picked up from the Kirkby collection: 1) Tiffany stone from Utah 2) Lepidolite from New Mexico 3) Rainbow obsidian from California 4) Sodalite from the Princess Sodalite mine of Canada

What the??? At a Miocene fossil track site there's a trackway from huge arthropod moving sideways (like a crab). If it was an insect it would've been 50-70 cm long based on estimates. It's freshwater/marshy deposit. No idea what made it. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Sigh. Sometimes I think I should’ve stayed out west and dug Dino’s and auctioned them for tens of millions like my friends are doing… I’m doing ok but it’d be nice to have enough money to not worry about money.

Sometimes I see a signed book in an auction house and then I’ll go find a cheaper copy online. Here’s Jonas Salk

Went to an open house and spotted my first pawpaw in the wild!

Time to clean out the AMERICA drawer

The Turin Papyrus Map, which is both the world's oldest topographic map and oldest geologic map. Made around 1150 BCE by Scribe-of-the-Tomb Amennakhte for Ramesses IV for quarrying purposes. Shows quarry locations, gold deposits, and different rock types.

Nice amethyst spher- FOOLED YOU! It’s a freaking purple calcite sphere from Joplin, Missouri that my buddy Justin has. Two things: 1) when did you ever see a purple calcite 2) do you know how difficult it is to sphere something with a hardness of 3 that likes to cleave?

Woah, a geologic structure I'm not familiar with. Sand Spikes from Germany, formed by squeezing out water from violent shaking, as in this case from the Ries Crater meteor impact. These measure 20" long and were calcite replacements, in a Sotheby's auction.

My shirt should answer your questions

Maybe I'm not up to date on current fossil dig techniques but based on these pictures... was this dug up by archaeologists? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Looks like a meteor exploded southeast of Atlanta, one piece hit a house, probably more around but they’ll get destroyed by the next rainstorm

Cretaceous fossil pearl from the Niobrara fm of Kansas from an Inoceramus clam

The selenite she tells you not to worry about

Something interesting for my archaeology folks: in eastern Montana there’s a place called Naked Lady Butte where there’s a carving of such. Undated but probably not older than 19th century. Pic by Chase Pipes

A nice cube of Boleite , a very blue halide mineral from Mexico. Composition KPb26Ag9Cu24(OH)48Cl62

Oh that’s a cool turtle planter! How much is it?… What

World's largest complete fossil sex organ. Cat for scale

I should create an AI app that tells people if the rock they found is a meteorite and it just always tells them no.
