Heading out for a week of field work along the remote shores of Lake Winnipeg. No doubt some interesting #fossil finds incoming! #Ordovician #ManitobaFossils #ManitobaRocks
It's Trilobite Tuesday! Pictured is a 2-in- (5-cm-) long Bumastoides from Wisconsin’s Platteville Formation. Partial specimens of the Ordovician trilobite are relatively common finds at this locale, while fully articulated examples, like this one, are exceedingly rare.
We are back with another #trilobitetuesday Here is the pygidium from the trilobite Basidechenella rowi. This specimen comes from the Middle Devonian Dundee Limestone (also referred to as the Columbus Limestone) from Sylvania, Ohio.
A little late to the party, but Elmosteus has been spoilt with media attention across the country, including a cool featuring on CBC! 🐟 Check out the web version here cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

Stopped by the Grassy Lake amber locality today. The large chunks of amber w inclusions originate from the Taber Coal Zone of the Foremost Formation and are ~78 million years old. The site is famous for producing exquisite #dinosaur & bird feathers trapped in amber. #SADP2025
Episode 165: Ants Pt2 palaeocast.com/ants/ Since modern ants can pretty much do it all, is there anything to be surprised about when we examine their fossil record? Dr Christine Sosiak introduces us to the HELL ANTS! #podcast #ant #paleontology #paleontology #fossilfriday
Welcome back to #fossilfriday Here is a slab of limestone full of fossils! There are at least 8 Elredgeops millri trilobite heads as well as brachiopods, crinoids, and Bryozoans. This is from the Middle Devonian (Givetian) Silica Shale Formation located in Sylvania, Ohio.
