A giant fossil fish on display at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. It's amazing to imagine these enormous predators patrolling the ancient seas.

I also bought this beautiful Devonian trilobite (Kainops invius) from Oklahoma. It's now the 10th (or maybe 11th!) trilobite in my collection, which I only started last March.

1/2 A beautiful reconstruction of an ancient seafloor, bringing hundreds of millions of years of marine evolution back to life.

Straight-shelled cephalopods, crinoids, trilobites, echinoderms, and other invertebrates paint a vivid picture of Paleozoic oceans.

Who knows why I woke up this morning remembering the phallus I saw in Pompeii back in 2022? But here it is.

Apparently this was a popular architectural motif back before Vesuvius. Frankly, our public architecture would benefit from its return.

still not being sure what kind
of animal it was.

That is Tullimonstrum.
