Just back from the GAC-MAC conference in Newfoundland. Had the great privilege of seeing the #fossils of #MistakenPoint up close and personal! Pictured are Fractofusus, Charniodiscus, and Pectinifrons. Truly a special place and significant bucket lister.

This #FossilFriday: myself and a recent student looking at #Fractofusus up close at #MistakenPoint, working out branching details in a particularly well-preserved specimen. Thanks to @dmcediacaran.bsky.social for the photo. :) #FractofususFriday

It's #FossilFriday! Here's the #Ediacaran E surface at #MistakenPoint in #Newfoundland, showing two curved #Fractofusus misrai and an #Arborea spinosa. The top right & bottom edges show the overlying ash that buried these animals, preserving them for half a billion years! #FractofususFriday
