It's #FossilFriday, let's dive into some amazing fossil lobsters from France!
A recent article from some colleagues at the @cr2p.bsky.social studied beautifully preserved lobsters from La-Voulte-sur-Rhône (162 Mya). X-ray synchrotron tomography revealed internal soft organs and even allowed sexing!
This fossil plant is hands down the best fossil I've come across in the wild 🌿
Both @geologyjohnson.bsky.social and I squealed with excitement at this fossil find! Look at the detail 😍

This is the third paper from my thesis 👏. This time focusing on paleobiogeographical interpretations with 6 unique species.
Fossil wood is a treasure trove of information waiting to be unearthed 🌳.
Many thanks to @annbot.bsky.social for this thread
