Douglas Adams had it so right.
It's not about the answers we can generate
It's about the questions we can ask
Absolutely overjoyed to share our new paper describing the oldest occurrence of soft-tissue preservation in crinoid echinoderms and their ecological significance 🧪
I’m a bit late to #FossilFriday today as I’m in the field (literally) clearing at Inner Meadow. But how about a lovely Charnia gracilis to be getting on with. From #InnerMeadow of course.
Happy #FossilFriday which is this week brought to you from the #Ediacaran MUN Surface in @discoverygeoparknl.bsky.social . The exceptional preservation that characterizes that surface is well seen in this ? #culmofrons. A #rangeomorph with branches showing only one 1/2 of the biserial form.

I had a fun day out yesterday in @discoverygeoparknl.bsky.social sharing the #Ediacaran fossils of Capelin Gulch & the Johnson Discovery Surface with delegates from GAC-MAC 2026 in St. John’s. Great discussions on the rocks & the snow even held off for us! Thanks to all leaders delegates!
Excited to share our new paper out today in Science Advances describing some familiar Ediacaran fossils (beautifully reconstructed by Alex Boersma) in an unfamiliar place!

This #FossilFriday is brought to you courtesy of the lively new #Ediacaran #rangeomorph Aninoides coombsorum named by @simonrosse.bsky.social. Currently only known from the 551Ma Inner Meadow Lagerstätte in Newfoundland. Same age as the youngest White Sea type biotas in Australia, Russia etc.
