What a truly wonderful day placing the giant jaw bones of Ichthyotitan severnensis on display Bristol Museum & Art Gallery

I am especially delighted for Paul de la Salle, Justin Reynolds, and Ruby Reynolds (now 15), who discovered these important fossils. It has been an amazing journey...

Fantastic afternoon at Jack Ashby's talk on depictions of #thylacines . The one below is the first and last western depiction of a live thylacine in the wild. Jack Ashby

Collector Ole Worm or Olaus Wormius, was born #OnThisDay in 1588.
He assembled a cabinet of curiosities - an early museum. This illustration is from his book about his cabinet, published 1655, it forms part of our #specialcollections . #OTD

THIS IS TOMORROW! Log in for a chat about how depictions of the #thylacine were improtant in our relationship with them, as European settlers deliberately drove them to #extinction .

Where there any specimens in our collection you have wanted to learn more about? We may just have a video about it for you here! #youtube #fossils #Kimmeridge
