We are at Lyme Regis #FossilFestival this weekend! Swing by the Hub to talk to our researchers and students about chalk sea #Cretaceous ecosystems and play our game 'pin the tail on the chalk fish'!
The wonderful malacology curator at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, Jennifer Trimble, showed me around last week! I saw a model of the biggest Giant Pacific Octopus, a drawer full of argonaut shells, and a box of squid beaks found in the stomach of a dead whale in 1869 🤯 I LOVE MUSEUMS
A Jurassic brachiopod (Stiphrothyris sp.) overgrown by a sponge, a bryozoan (Stomatopora sp.) & several oysters. ~ 39 mm longest dimension. #FossilFriday #palaeontology #paleontology
I encountered an Electric Flame Scallop exhibiting its illusory method of warding off predators by shimmering its mantle, giving the impression it is electric.

I've found some nice echinoderms at the MAPS show this week.
This is a large Acrocrinus with a Platyceratid snail attached to the tegmen. It's from the Mississippian Bangor Lm. of Alabama.

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.

It's been a while since I posted something for #FossilFriday !
This time I present Ordosoceras sphaeriforme from the #Ordovician of China, an actinoceratid #cephalopod with one of the strangest siphuncles I know. Compare this to modern #Nautilus !
