Welcome back to another #FossilFriday! Here is a internal cast of the ammonite Mortinoceras equidistans. This comes from the Lower Cretaceous (Albian) Fort Worth Formation in Texas. During this time, Texas was covered by the Western Interior Seaway. Ammonites like these are common in the area.

Not my usual good morning from Colorado Springs with morning glow on Pikes Peak. On travel to Houston, so here’s the Hobbit Cafe. Good food and mead, friendly staff. I need to go back again soon.

The sun came up again this morning! Makes me happy.

I ordered a box of 4mm pen needles from Amazon (for my insulin pens) and Amazon delivered a four-pack of tooth brushes instead. I returned it and requested they try again. The process reminded me that this issue is nothing new. www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...

Sunrise on a fine autumn day. Pikes looks cold this morning, but it's warm in the city. Ten days to winter and the year is rushing to a close. I have so much to do. Self-imposed deadlines are the worst. I have no one to blame but myself for the unrealistic expectations AND the failure to meet them.

Way past bedtime. Good night, blue sky friends.

This much beloved animated TV special premiered on CBS 60yrs ago today. A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS (1965)🎄

A fine late-autumn, Pikes Park, blue sky morning to you all! It's going to be a glorious day.

Post a book quote that you love. #booksky “Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.” ― Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park

Snow day! Schools closed, local bases on Mission Essential Personnel only. I had time to type The End on a new short story and start editing. A damn fine Gray Sky day,

OUT TODAY!😀 Includes my story, 'The Place Out at Penkton Forest.' The third in the best-selling 'Gates of Hell' horror anthology series.👇🖤 Link: mybook.to/GatesOfHell *Reposts appreciated!🙏 It's a tough time of year.

A fine Colorado Springs Pikes Peak Blue Sky morning! A warm sweatshirt and fresh coffee are the order of the day.

Another beautiful blue-sky morning in Colorado Springs. (And go Broncos!)

At sun-up in November 2021, fresh lava lit the crater at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park as the light came up — a moment where the landscape felt like it was changing right in front of you. If you enjoy new views, I’d be glad if you followed. #Photography #LandscapePhotography #ScottKissPhoto

Cold here today. Pikes Peak took extra time to cast off the morning clouds. I hear you, Mr. Peak. I hear you.

Doodles for Hong Kong 🇭🇰 In response to the tragic Tai Po fire, I'm doing charity commissions. Anyone who puts over £25/250HKD into "Feeding Hong Kong" or Hong Kong SPCA can request a coloured doodle of any prehistoric animal 🙏

Two miles of ice core on the shelf at our national ice core facility in Lakewood, Colorado. The WAIS Divide core from West Antarctica is a 3400m long (deepest US core, 2nd deepest ice core ever) 68,000 year old record of high resolution climate.

If you see this, post a bad woman you love.

We came close to snow this week in the Springs, but had cold rain here below. 200 plus snowless days in Denver. Concerning. www.thecooldown.com/outdoors/den...

Great keynote talk on the fundamentals of storytelling by @antonyjohnston.bsky.social at the ever-brilliant AdventureX

My UFOP talk last month on our progressing research on the Jurassic- Cretaceous dinosaur mass extinction and some possible causes has been posted; the paleosols may hold the key! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoQ9... @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social

My newest Vintage Dinosaur Art post is out! I'm really excited to share this art with everyone, it's especially nostalgic to me. Hope you all like it!

The Marsh Palaeoart Award nominations for artwork depicting fossil fauna from Britain and Ireland, close soon. It is your last chance, send artworks in!

LATEST: The decision to move U.S. Space Command out of Colorado was a red flag for business leaders who have formed a new coalition to work on seeing that the state holds onto its edge in the aerospace and defense fields.

Of the Spanish Civil War, Albert Camus wrote, “Men of my generation have had Spain in our hearts. It was there that they learned…that one can be right and yet be beaten, that force can vanquish spirit and that there are times when courage is not rewarded.”

A fine blue sky Colorado Springs morning to you! The weather is going to turn more wintery later this week, so I’ll savor the clear skies and warmth while it’s here. The truth is I’m ready for an ext era bite in the air, so bring it.

"Art is supposed to make you feel something, and I began to realize my appearance was my art. My body, my face, my scars told a story – my story. But I guess that’s how life works sometimes – noticing beauty only in retrospect and poetry, in silence." ~Alice Wong 🌸🌸🌸🌸

23&Me says my ancestors are N. European. One of them became a Christian. I wish I knew their name, and all the other links across the centuries that bring me to this sacred rhythm of worship and communion with my family of believers. Thank you, those whose names history forget. I remember you.

Post a book you love from the 80s. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #BookSky #bookchallenge #readingchallenge #readingcommunity #booktok #bookish #books

My almost 10-year-old son has a couple of friends over, and I just happened to have some Osage oranges that I collected yesterday—because I'm thinking of planting a tree—and so of course I had to grab the chance to teach the kids the delightful facts about Osage oranges and woolly mammoths:

I added stripes, because why not? I like the retro vibe they give the car, a little bit of Herbie to remind me that driving a slow car fast is more fun than driving a fast car slow. And all cars are alive; you just have to listen.

SO EXCITING!! #FossilFriday #mastodons

The places between places are the best places.

“The sort of basic [fossilization] question of ‘How did this thing fossilize in the first place?’ hasn’t received as much attention in the past. I think this was a really great deep dive into this one area where we do see several specimens." @uglyfossils.bsky.social

This month has been a doozy; anything helps! 🫶 ko-fi.com/rjcrunden

Watching some videos on old paleoart and a familiar name showed up: John Sibbick. I didn't realise that the guy I knew best from illustrating the cover of Rogue Trader was also a massively influential artist of prehistoric animals. That is a fact that makes me smile.

Snooze button weather. A photo from a couple of days ago because Pikes Peak and I have determined that the covers are extra heavy this morning, foo heavy in fact to toss aside just yet.

Conditions were more favorable in the desert this evening for viewing C/2025 A6 (comet Lemmon). Seen here about to set behind San Ysidro Mountain at 7:44 pm (Photo: Sicco Rood).

Have spent time retrieving old ScienceBlogs and Scientific American material from internet archive and adding to a list (here: darrennaish.wordpress.com/tetrapod-zoo...). Today am finding A LOT of these links, previously fine, are 503 ('No server is available to handle this request'). Hopeless.

A new pachycephalosaur, officially named Zavacephale rinpoche, was described in the journal Nature. The word rinpoche is Tibetan for "precious one" and refers to the domed skull. n.pr/3KZSGEV
