'appy #YorkshireDay! The Yorkshire Coast is often referred to as the Dinosaur coast, due to all the dinosaur footprints that can be seen around Scarborough. But we've got more than just footprints! Here are three of our favourite Yorkshire dinosaurs!

1. Yorkshire's very own Megalosaurus, found in Upper Jurassic rocks of Slingsby near Malton.

Watching the far right set fire to the newly reopened Spellow Hub library in Liverpool should be lesson enough on how much these thugs really care about “communities” and “young children.” Let none of these thugs pretend they are motivated by anything other than racism and hate.

This sign outside a shop in Settle is perhaps more true than they imagined! Bears once roamed the hills and valleys of Yorkshire, that arrow is (roughly) pointing in the direction of Victoria Cave, where fossil brown bear skulls have previously been found!

The excavations of Victoria Cave in the 1870s were photographed by the Settle based Horner Photographic Studios. This photograph of the Victoria Cave bear fossils was digitised from an original glass plate negative in the Horner Collection at the Museum of North Craven Life at The Folly. #FossilFriday

The Yoredales Series of rocks is rich in brachiopods, bivalves and even trilobites! During last Friday's trip with The Yorkshire Fossil Hunter we found a number of disarticulated trilobite head shields and tails, likely to have been shed carapaces. #TrilobiteTuesday

New #OA paper out ! We examined the impact of glass surfaces (such as in the marine reptile gallery at the Natural History Museum) on the accuracy of 3D surface modelling. Turns out we can generate accurate models, see the paper for tests and protocols (1/2) palaeo-electronica.org/content/2024/5…

It has happened! Thank you so much to Dr Rebecca Bennion for including me on this. So happy you could take the work forward and make it awesome! Thank you to Prof. Valentin Fischer and dr. Jamie MacLaren for everything !palaeo-electronica.org/content/2024/5…

Precious #fossils in museum collections are often protected by glass, which poses a challenge for 3D modelling methods involving photography and laser scanning. a new study shows that accurate models can still be generated through glass, especially with longer post-processing!

Public art collections are not an asset, they are a living legacy owned in common for current and future generations.

The latest Heritage and the Economy report by Historic England reveals the significant impact of the heritage sector: - Contributed £44.9 billion in GVA in 2022. 📊 - Employed over 523,000 people. 👷‍♀️ Read more here 👉 bit.ly/HeritageEconom… #Archaeology #Heritage

We've just opened our Fearnsides Award AND our Geoscience Communications Fund! If you're an early career researcher or someone seeking to set up a sci-comm initiative, you'll want to see what we can offer! Deadline 20th Oct yorksgeolsoc.org.uk/awards-grants 📷@foradamifera Dr Liam Herringshaw

we’re not quitting science, we’re quitting academia. I am still very much in science and will remain here forever
