It was even more delightful than I had imagined it would be. Last night was an utter joy to share my story with a full house in the great hall of the Texas Science & Natural History Museum, under the imposing Quetzalcoatlus and T-Rex. Thank you to the fabulous Chris Kirk for joining me and for sharing your vast knowledge about my grandfather and fossil primates. Thank you to everyone at the museum, including Dr. Pamela Owen, Carolyn Connerat, Monte Monreal, and Anne Hebert for making this event happen. And thank you to @shannon.southerland for taking these beautiful photos! @texas.science.museum @montemonreal11 @annelhebert @carolynconnerat 📸 @shannon.southerland #digbook, #naturalhistory, #texasphotography, #eocene, #fossils
Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for our special free program with Sarah Wilson @swilsonfoto, photographer, artist and author of “DIG: Notes on Field and Family”. Sarah joined UT professor of biological anthropology Dr. Chris Kirk in conversation, and both were introduced by paleontologist Dr. Pamela Owen, associate director of the museum. Sarah explained her grandfather's life's work as a paleontologist and founder of the Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory in @txgeosciences. His collection of faded Kodachrome slides led Sarah to follow the same paths he once took through the West Texas desert, digging for 40 million-year-old fossils and searching for answers to mysteries of Deep Time, and our place within it. We were happy to see so many museum members, old friends and new faces at this event! Be sure to join our email list at sciencemuseum.utexas.edu to learn about future free public programs.

We’re bringing back #FossilFridays! Here is a breathtaking fossil softshell turtle (Axestemys byssinus) from the famous Green River Formation in Wyoming, USA. This formation has some of the best preserved turtles, giving us a snapshot peek into their life, millions of years ago. This beautiful turtle spans a jaw-dropping 6 feet long and is likely the largest specimen of its type discovered in this important locality. Softshell turtles today as well are important apex predators in the aquatic systems they thrive in, and such fossil records are important reminders of their importance in maintaining healthy ecosystems.

🇬🇧 I’m quite sure I’ve said it before, and I’m quite sure I’ll say it again: I love photographing damaged diatoms. There seems to be more happening in the picture. And - again - when working with actual samples, you very rarely see intact specimens. Our today’s diatom is Entogoniopsis polycistinora from the Eocene sediments of the Bay of Biscay. 🇵🇱 Na pewno mówiłem to już wiele razy i na pewno to jeszcze powtórzę: lubię fotografować uszkodzone okrzemki; mam wrażenie, że na tego rodzaju zdjęciach więcej się dzieje. I - powtórzę - w pracy z okrzemkami rzadko trafiamy na idealne, kompletne okazy.

Do you want to try your hand at fossil prep? We just listed a few unprepared fish plates that contain fossil fish collected from the Green River Formation near Kemmerer, Wyoming. Species likely include Mioplosus labracoides and Knightia eocaena. While these fish appear to be complete and articulated, as with all unprepared fossils there are no guarantees. You don't know exactly what will be under the surface. Follow the link in our bio or visit www.FossilEra.com and search for "unprepared fossil fish" to see more photos & information. . . . . #fossilera #fossils #minerals #fossilfish #unpreparedfossilfish #fishfossils #Mioplosuslabracoides #Knightiaeocaena #greenriverformation #Eocene
#Leptictidium (illustrated here by Mauricio Anton) was a unique #mammal genus with a short trunk and long hindlegs, once widespread throughout Eocene Europe. Its wider order, the Leptictida, had its origin all the way back in the Cretaceous when they descended from eutherians closely related to true placental mammals. Among modern animals it is perhaps most comparable to an elephant shrew or a bandicoot. Traditionally reconstructed as a hopping animal similar to a kangaroo or jerboa, more recent work suggests that, uniquely among mammals, it actually walked on its digitigrade feet, one foot in front of the other, more like a small theropod dinosaur. Unfortunately, these fascinating animals became extinct at the beginning of the Oligocene. During this transition, the Turgai Sea closed and Europe became connected to Asia, resulting in an event called the Grande Coupure by Swiss paleontologist Hans Georg Stehlin. Similar to the later Great American Interchange, this resulted in an invasion of more familiar animals into the continent and the extinction of more archaic native groups such as Lepi here. At the same time, a global change in climate diminished the rainforest habitats that these animals lived in. Among the victims were also the camel-like anoplotheres and xiphodontids as well as Europe‘s native primates. It is interesting to think what could have become of Leptictidium had it survived and adapted to the open grasslands of the Oligocene. Maybe it could have become the northern hemisphere‘s equivalent to kangaroos or the mammals‘ answer to ratites and ornithomimosaurs. #paleontology #fossil #fossils #extinctanimal #extinction #extinctmammal #eocene #oligocene #cretaceous #mauricioanton #paleoart #paleoartist #europe #swisspaleontology #art #animals #prehistory #prehistoric #kangaroo #jerboa #dinosaur #dinosaurs #theropod #speculative_evolution #messel #messelpit #bandicoot #crashbandicoot

Andrewsarchus mongolensis - Lo único que se conoce de este gigante mamífero es un enorme cráneo carente de mandíbula hallado en 1923 en el desierto de gobi en Mongolia. Se considero inicialmente carnívoro, pero posteriormente se relaciono con Entelodon, un pariente de los cerdos con el cual comparte proporciones faciales y craneales. Sin embargo estudios posteriores los situaron cerca de los mesoniquios (artiodáctilos y cetáceos) pero nunca se pudo probar su inclusión a esta familia por lo que se clasificó hasta hoy con los entelodontidos. El cráneo de este animal tiene cerca del doble del tamaño del de un oso pardo actual, pero mas estrecho y alrededor de tres veces la longitud del cráneo del mayor lobo actual. Dado que los osos pardos pesan entre 450kg y 675kg, Andrewsarchus pudo pesar aproximadamente una tonelada y medido alrededor de 4 metros de largo. - —————————————————- #dinosaurios #dinosaur #dinosaurs #andrewsarchus #mamiferos #mamiferosprehistoricos #wild #eocene #mongolia #diorama #collectaanimals #photography #photooftheday #picoftheday #toyphotography #dinosaurtoyphotography #collector #canonphotography #canon #paleontology #paleontologia #art #photoart #extinctanimals #megafauna #jurassicworld #jurassicpark #walkingwithbeasts

Another #paleostream sketch Vasuki indicus is a new giant snake from the Eocene of India. It's a madtsoiid and potentially rivaled or even overtook Titanoboa as the largest snake. Just as with Ichthyotitan in my last post though: Take this with a grain of salt. This animal is known from just a few vertebrae, it's proportions aren't known! Non the less, if this animal had proportions like some other madtsoiids it could have been up to 15 m long. Interesting about madtsoiids is that their skull bones aren't as flexible as those of modern constrictor snakes. So the animal would probably not go for very large prey. The animals next to the snake here are basal sirenians. #paleoart #sciart #snake #eocene #vasuki #titanoboa #reptile #fossil #paleostream

Eocene landscape; Diatryma (Gastornis) praying on Hyracotherium by Richard Orr from the book A Closer Look at Prehistoric Mammals written by Beverly Halstead (1976). Gastornis were very large birds, and have traditionally been considered to be predators of small mammals (like seen here). However, several lines of evidence, including the lack of hooked claws in known Gastornis footprints and studies of their beak structure and isotopic signatures of their bones have caused scientists to reinterpret these birds as herbivores that probably fed on tough plant material and seeds. Hyracotherium were small, fox-sized animals used to be considered to be the earliest known member of Equidae (horses and relatives) before the type species, H. leporinum, was reclassified as a palaeothere, a family basal to both horses and brontotheres. __________________________________________ #vintagepaleoart #paleoart #palaeoart #paleontology #palaeontology #prehistoric #vintagepaleoart #prehistoricmegafauna #megafauna #eocene #prehistoricanimals #gastornis #diatryma #hyracotherium #richardorr #beverlyhalstead

Será que a Titanoboa foi destronada?! Em 2024, foi descrita uma nova espécie de serpente gigante, a Vasuki (Vasuki indicus). Os fósseis provém de uma coluna vertebral fragmentada, com algumas partes ainda articuladas. O seu nome provém da Mitologia Hindu, do qual Shiva possuí uma serpente em redor do pescoço e com o mesmo nome. Já o epíteto provém do país onde foi descoberto. Este gigante viveu durante o Eocénico, há 47 milhões de anos, onde um dia seria a Índia. Pela análise das vértebras, os autores do estudo demonstraram que apesar de a Vasuki não ser tão corpulenta quanto a Titanoboa da América do Sul, ela poderia ser mais comprida, podendo atingir de acordo com as maiores das estimativas, uns impressionantes 15 metros! Ao contrário da Titanoboa, cujo a sua linhagem inclui as Boas e as Anacondas, a Vasuki pertencia a uma linhagem completamente diferente de serpentes. Tratavam-se das Madtsoidae, um grupo completamente extinto de serpentes que apareceu durante o Período Cretácico e sobreviveram à extinção em massa. De facto, houve uma espécie que chegou a coexistir com os seres humanos durante o Pleistocénico na Austrália, a Wonambi. Mas então, como era o habitat e morfologia deste réptil gigante? O Planeta era mais quente, sendo que na zona onde vivia a temperatura média era de 28°C. A morfologia das vértebras fossilizadas, estas cobras tinham hábitos mais terrestres do que a Titanoboa, provavelmente vivendo em terrenos pantanosos. Provavelmente alimentavam-se de Répteis, Peixes e mamíferos como cetáceos primitivos. Além disso, a descoberta demonstra que esta família de serpentes originou uma linhagem que entretanto colonizou o continente africano e asiático quando a Índia colidiu com a Ásia.

🇬🇧 I’ve spent hours going through slides of various samples from the famous fossil diatom deposit at Oamaru, New Zealand, looking for a complete specimen of this diatom, called Actinodiscus corolla. But working with diatoms is not all about perfect specimens; most of the time you see bits and pieces, because this is how the fossil record works: it generally breaks things, and only rarely leaves things intact. So - I still haven’t found what I’m looking for. 🇵🇱 Spędziłem wiele godzin przeglądając preparaty wykonane z różnych próbek osadu ze światowej sławy stanowiska w Oamaru na Nowej Zelandii, szukając dobrze zachowanego okazu okrzemki ze zdjęcia powyżej: Actinodiscus corolla.

Andrewsarchus con su lechón buscando alimento. Andrewsarchus es un género de memifero carnívoro artiodactilo que vivió en Asia Central durante el período Eoceno, entre hace 45 y 41 millones de años. Andrewsarchus se conoce solamente por un cráneo de gran tamaño que mide ochenta y tres centímetros de longitud y cincuenta y seis centímetros de ancho, cerca del doble del tamaño que el de un oso pardo, y algunas piezas de hueso. Pudo haber tenido una longitud del hocico hasta la parte posterior de la pelvis, de aproximadamente 3,82 m y una altura hasta los hombros de 1,89 m. Popularmente se le denominaría “ una oveja en la piel del lobo “ pues, a pesar de su aspecto, está estrechamente relacionado con los animales con pezuñas como la cabra o la oveja, los cetáceos e hipopótamos.

Imagining Vasuki Indicus THEN and NOW, with the help of #Midjourney #AI. #Fossil remains of the massive #prehistoric snake, from 47 million years ago, were found by an @iitroorkee team in the #Panandhro lignite mine of #Kutch, #Gujarat in 2005. The findings were recently published in a peer-reviewed journal. At 11-15 metres, the snake is longer than anacondas and pythons, and appears to be as long as the longest known snake in our natural history - the #Titanoboa from Colombia. Vasuki would have lived in a marshy swamp near the coast at a time when the region had much higher temperatures. The tropical climate would have allowed it to grow so big. The snake species belonged to a geological period when India, Africa and South America were one landmass called #Gondwana. Very cool discovery in our natural history! 🐍 . . . #eocene #eocenefossil #jurassic #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryillustration #iitroorkee #indiansnakes #indianmythology #indianhistory #snakes #snake #dinosaur #dinosaurs #reptile #geology #gharial #thelostworld

Two giant Vasuki meet and they're not particularly happy about it; they express their displeasure by inflating their forebodies and loudly hissing, as one does. :B Quick doodle inspired by the announcement of Vasuki, a new madtsoiid snake from the Eocene of India. It has been estimated at 11 to 15 meters long... that is longer even than Titanoboa! It probably would have been less heavy tho, as its vertebrae are slightly less massive. Think the comparison between a python and an anaconda; at same lengths, the anaconda can be almost twice as heavy! Vasuki may be thus the longest snake known from the fossil record, while still being slightly less massive than Titanoboa. But because we don´t have a full skeleton of either, this really is an educated guess at best! The study suggests Vasuki was a slow moving ambush hunter, but not necessarily aquatic like Titanoboa or anacondas; it may have been more akin to a gigantic python, lifestyle-wise. That being said, it definitely did in well watered environments, which can also be said for most giant snakes today. It is named after a mythical Naga from Indian myth. #vasuki #snake #serpent #monster #reptile #hodarinundu #paleoart #paleontology #cenozoic #eocene #dragon

Couple hours beach combing Thorness with my best buddy @scottcade13 this eve produced this treasure trove of oddities from around 30 off million years ago. Gastropods a plenty both empty and filled in. As well as some gorgeous other shell shapes i will cast and also try to identify using :- https://www.dmap.co.uk/fossils/ An amazing resource for the North side of the island. It was pretty dry for Turtle shell, we did both found a couple of bits, and tho i didn't find any verts like Scott, i did bag a bit of bone. It looks a little like a flipper, but i suspect its fish jaw or something similar. Ill keep investigating! Few geodes, gypsum/selenite crystals.in a big mustard lump. And a couple of questionable.. sausages. One has the look of bone, but the ends say iron nodule.. but it's very weird. The other is yellowy flint, but with a very visible helix, like the gastropods. So it is looking like coral, but again.. very weird. More investigations and research to do! #fossils #eocene #eocenefossil #adventure #strollwithmybuddy
A 150 km dal Cairo e 50 km dall’oasi del Fayum c’è un luogo che raccoglie memorie apparentemente lontane per il contesto in cui si trovano. Dalle sabbie del deserto sono emersi milioni di anni di storia marina, fornendo una preziosissima testimonianza dell’ecosistema acquatico prima che i movimenti delle placche terrestri milioni di anni fa sollevassero i fondali marini. Durante l’Eocene, 40 milioni di anni fa avremmo visto un luogo brulicante di vita battuto in superficie dalle onde dell’oceano Tetide al posto di dune. Si tratta di Wadi Al Hitan o Valle delle Balene, chiamata così per la sua concentrazione di scheletri fossili cetacei come in nessun’altro luogo del pianeta. Tale concentrazione ha indotto gli esperti a credere che il luogo fosse un punto di ritrovo per la loro riproduzione, ipotesi rafforzata dal ritrovamento di alcuni resti fossili appartenenti ad individui molto giovani del genere dorudonte. Tale cetaceo oramai estinto solcava le acque dell’antico oceano. Non stiamo parlando di balene come le conosciamo oggi, ma bensì di Archaeoceti, un sottordine estinto che porta con sé la testimonianza del passaggio dei cetacei dalla vita terrestre a quella marina. Alcuni scheletri presentano narici al posto del tipico sfiato ed il fossile più grande del sito, un Basilosaurus isis di 21 metri, ha delle piccole zampe posteriori che i cetacei moderni non possiedono più. Non solo balene (oltre 400 fossili) ma anche resti di squali, coccodrilli, pesci sega, tartarughe e razze hanno permesso di ricostruire in parte l’antico ecosistema. L’Egitto non custodisce solamente meraviglie di natura antropica, ma anche preziosissime testimonianze di un mondo molto più antico del genere umano e dell'Egitto stesso.

Esta mañana, Pablo Salinas, editor de AAD, conversó con Sergio Paz, presidente de SOS Algarrobo, corporación que desde 2022, año de su creación, ha venido desarrollando destacados esfuerzos en pos del cuidado y puesta en valor del patrimonio paleontológico algarrobino. Estas fueron algunas de sus declaraciones: “Desde un principio, SOS ha limitado su actuar a la coordinación entre los científicos y el estudio del patrimonio paleontológico local, a través de Rodrigo Otero, investigador de la U. de Chile de reconocida trayectoria. Nosotros ayudamos básicamente con la logística para hacer más cómodo el trabajo de los expertos. Todas las directrices de estos trabajos quedan a cargo de ellos, las que además están reguladas por ley. La norma dicta pasos precisos, como contar con la autorización de parte del Consejo de Monumentos Nacionales, que acá por cierto se cumple, como, además, dar aviso a la Armada.” Respecto a las labores en terreno de los investigadores: “En Algarrobo tenemos estratos muy profundos, es decir, existen fósiles cientos de metros hacia el interior. Lo que los científicos están ahora haciendo es, en el fondo, extraer los restos más expuestos, antes de que los perdamos producto de la erosión marina y el cambio climático. Además, llevándolos a laboratorio es la única forma de estudiarlos y determinar con precisión de qué especies se tratan, y, por ende, conocer su real valor para la ciencia.” #sosalgarrobo #algarrobo #elasmosaurus #elasmosaur #elasmosaurio #cretacico #cretaceous #eoceno #eocene #chile #5region #nautilus #mosasaurus #mosasaurio #fósiles #fossil #fossils #cretacic #cretacicbeach #seabirds #algarroboaldia #naturalsantuary #protectedspecies #protectedareas #vulnerablenativespecies #peñablanca #monumento #santuário
#premioitalianopaleoarte2023 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗭𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲 "𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲" • Description: Egypt, about 37 million years ago. Off the coast, a large shoal of 𝘚𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘴𝘱. congregated to take advantage of the high concentration of nutrients, formed in that coastal strip by the meeting of a warm sea current with a cold one. Where there is prey, of course, predators are not slow to arrive. A group of 𝘋𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘹 is the first to rush in and attack the shoal. This is a familiar group of these cetaceans, consisting mainly of females and young specimens. Sharks are not slow in coming either. A pair of 𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘳𝘩𝘪𝘻𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘳, eocene sharks of the lamnid family, joins the proto-dolphins, surely more sharks will arrive shortly thereafter. But here are the big guns appearing on the horizon, a large 𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘴 approaching the group of animals. Taking advantage of the moment of distraction, the cetacean pounces on the group of 𝘚𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢, but his goal is definitely more ambitious; he would like to get a shark or perhaps a young 𝘋𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘥𝘰𝘯 under his teeth. Hidden by the group of fish, the Basilosaurus, charges and slingshots into the shoal, catching a young 𝘋𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘥𝘰𝘯 by surprise, which it kills with a bite to the head. The sky's predators join: a large Pelagornithid and a flock of 𝘌𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘦𝘨𝘺𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘴, resulting in a pulsating, primal, frenetic "trophic dance" as if straight out of Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring." This work depicts some of the most characteristic species of the Late Eocene paleobiota of Wadi al-Hitan, Egypt. There are also some inferences of the behavior and predation style of 𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘴, based on some published studies on the subject. • Subjects: 𝘚𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘴𝘱.; 𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘳𝘩𝘪𝘻𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘳; 𝘌𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘦𝘨𝘺𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘴; 𝘗𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘦 𝘴𝘱.; 𝘋𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘹; 𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘴 • Technique: digital painting (Adobe Photoshop) Follow 👉🏻 @zoctheartist #paleoarte #paleoart #art #digitalpainting #trophicdance #eocene
