The largest trilobite ever found: Isotelus rex.
This specimen is 72 cm long.
I finally saw it! 😀
Photographed today at the Manitoba Museum in Winnipeg.

Since there's a lot of love for all things algal right now...
A chunk of Jurassic stromatolite, a structure formed by repeated layers of sediment and microbial mats (often cyanobacteria), making a blobby hummock.

I got a new preprint out talking about the impact of heatwaves (and warming in general) on the sediment biogeochemistry of temperate estuaries. Short version: it may contribute to eutrophication. 🧪
