Reminder that Alligator Gars are BEASTLY, but also harmless to humans. #GarWeek

Gar scales are easy(ish) to spot while prospecting & are often associated w/vertebrate microfossil localities (dense accumulations of bones & teeth from many organisms). Some folks might "high-grade" them out...I think it is super important to collect the whole assemblage in a "microsite". #GarWeek

Happy #GarWeek! Gar scales are one of the most common vertebrate fossils we find in Late Cretaceous rocks in North America. See that black & shiny fossil at the top of the rock? That's a ~78 million year old gar scale! "Mesaverde" Fm., Wyoming, collected w/BLM-Paleo permit, accessioned @alfpaleo

Fat bear week is long gone, chubby squirrel week past as well, but I've got gaaaareat news: #GarWeek starts Nov. 3.
Gars don't get delightfully chubby like mammals but they are weird as hell. Let's embrace the weird, but not too close cuz they are very smelly. #ScienceSky #FishSky

I'm a bit late for #GarWeek, but here is a shameless plug for the gar weathervane that I designed and mostly made (95%, or so) that should be sitting atop the Belle Isle Aquarium in Detroit.

Another fascinating primitive fish to appreciate: the Lake Sturgeon! These photos are from my first visit to the GarLab, when I knew it was the lab for me (I’m secretly obsessed with Lake Sturgeon 😉😂). Shh, don’t tell my advisor! 😆 Happy #GarWeek!
