Holy shit y’all I just got an email I’d like to nominate for the "Wildest All-Faculty Email" Hall of Fame

Stole this from fb

I can see every ancient DNA scientist in the world currently cringing about @itiscolossal.bsky.social scientists' lack of gloves when sampling moa bones 🤦‍♂️ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

What’s also wild about these Eocene belemnites is their Late Lutetian early Bartonian age, about 41-42 million years old, so younger than Green River fish. Wild

Will be interested in seeing what the paleo-cephalopod community in general thinks about this! Eocene belemnites from Hungary - Galácz - 2026 - Papers in Palaeontology - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

ok but can we talk about the mystery millionaire of osaka giving the city a bunch of gold to maintain the sewer system

Time for another "client ordered this and then cancelled project without a purchase order" This is Darwin Glass, a glass tektite formed by a meteor impact that created Darwin Crater in Tasmania about 816,000 years ago. I've got pieces around 10 grams in size www.etsy.com/listing/4471...

A fun piece of selenite from Mexico with a floating rock inside. Must’ve fallen into the solution while the crystal was forming and then the crystal grew around it

Flooded dunes of Lake Chad. I just like to look at them once in awhile. Sentinel 2. Imagine what the Madison drumlin field would look like if flooded.

Fossil plant (fern?) from the Kinney Quarry of New Mexico, Pennsylvanian age. I have 300 pieces I was assembling for a client who dropped the project. Anyway, if you're a paleobotanist, I'm looking to sell them at cost. May divvy it up later if I don't have someone who wants all. #fossilfriday

I kinda like the Netflix niche of military guys versus advanced tech threat

Wait, you're telling me the Jones Act can just be waived?

Hey anyone know a CPA who can answer a few retirement questions in exchange for cool rocks?

So when Gwen Stefani said "I can go for miles if you know what I mean" was she referring to drugs or sex?

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

Some rhodochrosite on Matrix from Peru

There’s a claim that there’s 500 ounces of silver in each Tomahawk (silver zinc battery, silver wiring, etc), which then would suggest that we’re trying to vaporize vampires and werewolves

I thought it was easy and then an all pink screen showed up

This is what all those Saturday morning cartoons prepared us for!

Fun fossil fish Amphicentrum from the Kinney Quarry of New Mexico. Pennsylvanian in age

Sometimes I find out something is happening in sports when I get a bunch of offers on the same card. In this case Bam Adebayo

Apparently the island of Store Kamøya is for sale on the northern tip of Norway. A square kilometer with 100 meter cliffs and no infrastructure but a 5 minute boat ride from a nearby fishing village. Asking price $298k

I hate that I accidentally burned a few hundred dollars because I didn't know that when you sold your car, you had to contact your car insurance company and manually cancel the policy (and they want proof from the DMV). I thought it would be done automatically because of the VIN getting transfered

Kickstarter ad: we got backed $1M in 60 minutes! Me: ... why should I care?

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

Devils Lake (ND) flooding occurs because there are no natural outlets to the lake until it reaches an elevation of 1458 ft. Back in 1993, it was ~1422 ft. At that elevation it covers ~69 sq. miles. Today, the lake surface is at 1449 ft, and it covers 213 sq. miles. ND is flat.

How's my local Cat Cafe doing? Oh...

Finally gotten around to watching Jurassic World Rebirth and... when did they make a bunch of ancient fishes?

Bought a bag of gold concentrate from the Crisson mine in Georgia. Cost: $275 Yield: 1 gram of gold about $164 Better than a pack of baseball cards

So I’ve been working through One Piece over the past two years and the Punk Hazard arc is really a slog causing me to stop and go

I enjoyed the splash of light through this quartz egg

How's everyone doing? I'm trying to be more active here, but only have so much attention span while dealing with a baby and a 6 year old. Miss you all!

My baby loves his toy dump truck but pronounces it exactly how you do not want it pronounced.

Hey so I'm stuck with about 120 lbs of Michigan tumbled copper nuggets after a client project got cancelled. If anyone is interested, I've got them on etsy, or happy to sell directly via DM for $20 a piece (free shipping if you're in the US) www.etsy.com/listing/4416...

It’s the Cambrian trilobite genus Olenellus from the Kinzer formation of Lancaster County, PA. There’s a surprising amount of Cambrian goodies from that formation but it’s hard to find outcrops. #fossilfriday

Anyone else playing Netflix’s Best Guess Live? FYI it’s a free live game show app where they give clues for you to guess something, be in the first group to get it right and win money.

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...
