So excited for this #paleosky #evobio #philsci ⚒️
Working on the Snowball Earth episode of @makeaplanetpod.bsky.social and it's probably my favorite so far. It's going to blow your mind. It blows my mind! Not just because it happened, but because of the role it may have played in the evolution of life. I won't spoil it, you'll just have to listen.

A newly identified fossil amphibian, measuring 737 millimetres in length and dating back around 237 million years, may have been fully adapted to life in the sea, according to a study in Nature Ecology & Evolution. go.nature.com/4iiWdep #Paleosky #evosky 🧪

Seeing as I’ve done at least 3 types of mammoth/mastodon, I went with a different, more curious elephant. Deinotherium.

The most complete T. rex anyone had found, and the woman who found her had no stake in the name. Sue Hendrickson, Cheyenne River, August 1990: a flat tire, a bluff she'd never visited, bone in the cliff. Five years in a vault, nine minutes at auction. #paleontology #fossil #dinosaur
Dinosaur No. 3 — the woman the T. rex is named for

South Dakota, 1990. Flat tire. Sue Hendrickson stayed back, walked to a bluff she'd never visited, and found the best T. rex ever seen. The law gave her to the rancher. She came back masked and cried.

Zip can mean running really fast, like these two are. One of them is imminently about to die :3

A baby dinosaur died 75 million years ago, and scientists think its fossil may still hold traces of its original cells. If that holds up, it rewrites what we thought could survive deep time. What would you most want to learn from preserved dinosaur tissue? #FossilFriday #PaleoSky

I ended up picking a beat that would certainly stand out as one, although the idea of a bioluminescent titanosaur did cross my mind..

Shuzhong Shen, the paleontologist behind OneStrata model cited here, was one of participants in Philosophy of Paleontology workshop Doug Erwin & I organized at MBL. cbs.asu.edu/mbl/2026reco...
Although an accomplishment, there are of course concerns about biases being intro by AI model ⚒️ #paleosky
