At ICHNIA 2024, I reconnected with Anthony J. Martin. Had him sign my copy of his new book on bioerosion, Life Sculpted. I loved your boring book, I can die happy now.

Shuvuuia, a dinosaur typically most active at night, is fooled into getting up early by a total solar eclipse.

The eclipse in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Over 4 minutes of totality!

Oops I did it again 🤭

Eclipse party at Emory University as we approach 80% here! Cool looking shadows already here as the lunar dimmer switch keeps moving.

Oh, how I would love to find a landing trace like this, made by a web-footed bird & preserved in Cretaceous rocks. #ichnology

Happy geologist day 🥰. Last year I only had 300 followers on instagram and now I have 360K followers across all platforms. I’m happy that I’ve been able to inspire people into a career in geology by talking about rocks and that. Thank you to everyone for their support.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... now into 2003.

Professor Dame Jane Francis commissioned this large painting on canvas for the British Antarctic Survey. It depicts the environment on Antarctica during the Cretaceous.

Happy Geologist’s Day from the outdoors, lab, classroom, office ❤️

Happy Geologist's Day to whoever celebrates it ! ⚒️🎂
International Geologist’s Day began in the mid 60’s in the former USSR and technically falls on the first Sunday of April (even if the day varies in different countries)

Super old Fossils are some of my favourites to share for #FossilFriday , and Charnia masoni are some of the oldest you can find!
This frond-like organism lived 560 million years ago during the Ediacaran period, with this example being found in Newfoundland, Canada. 🇨🇦

#FossilFriday Tadpoles are not the most obvious candidates for fossilization, making this Cenozoic fossil of a large tadpole from Turkey particularly remarkable.

Is Atlanta a science city? 47,000 curious kids and adults can't be wrong! PLTW was proud to support last month's Atlanta Science Festival, engineered by Science ATL - an extravaganza of science and technology. #ATLSciFest #STEMeducation

200 years ago the first dinosaur was named, in England.
We're still finding new ones...in Scotland!
A pleasure for tom challands & me to join Victoria Gill 💙💛 on BBC Radio 4 Inside Science, talking about an exciting sauropod bone from Skye, found by Tone Blakesley
