Fake fossil alert! 🀒 You see this sort of modge podge ickiness in roadside shops across the world.

There are real bits of fossil in this. The teeth are real, but they're in the wrong locations and from four different species! Part of the jaw was real, part of it was plaster. Frankenfossil πŸ’€ Super wonky 😱

I want to make it clear that there is a difference between a chimera fossil like this, and a fossil that has been professionally restored.

Restoration specialists absolutely have my heart. Their talents contribute so much to the field of paleontology. 🦴

Personally, I won't purchase vertebrate fossils, and largely/vocally oppose their sale when it is in detriment to science.

Quick facts!:
Mosasaurs are perhaps the most frequently faked fossils out there. Teeth from these Cretaceous beasts are a dime a dozen in the phosphate mines of Morocco, and sold in bulk.

#ut40for40 is on!! One of the 7 largest vert paleontology collections IN NORTH AMERICA the Texas Vertebrate Paleontology Collections is a cornerstone of the field!

I'm so fortunate to spread the word about their fundraising efforts, ending at 10 pm TONIGHT!

The Texas Vertebrate Paleontology Collections are the foundation for hundreds of published studies on global paleontology and Texas geology, contributing significantly to our knowledge of evolution, ecology, and the prehistory of North America. This facility preserves nearly 150 years of scholarly research!

My love of paleontology was fostered by studies from UT, with some of my earliest memories being walking the dinosaur tracks in Austin and Bandera. 🫢🦴

LINK FOR DONATION IS IN MY STORY!

Hi friends! I'm back! I took a little break, but I'm excited to get back to scicomm fun πŸ«ΆπŸ¦•

As always, I had to take a picture with Tricera-purse the moment I saw a Triceratops skull at 🦴

As a paleontologist, there are few people I trust more to provide great, accessible science than Dr. Steve Brusatte aka πŸ¦΄πŸ¦•

My Grandparents Were Dinosaurs is my new favorite paleontology children's book! Anne and Steve have created such a fun verse that will not only entertain children, but reward even the most dinosaur obsessed kiddo with new facts!

You can truly tell that Anne was an elementary teacher because this book reflects the fun energy needed to engage children! This book is great for adults as well as the end includes more in-depth science about the evolution of birds and dinosaurs.
You'll be able to connect with your kiddo more when they ask the "why dinosaurs" questions that come after reading any paleo book!

I can see this book being a great addition for science lessons for lower elementary. As a former teacher myself, I know I would have included it!

Packed with beautiful illustrations, the scientific know-how of one of the world's top paleontologists, and the passion of a childhood educator, My Grandparents Were Dinosaurs is sure to be a hit! The little ones in my life better be ready to receive this book as holiday and birthday presents this year!

Thank you to and for sending me a digital copy of this book! πŸ“š
If you know me irl, you know I'm a HUGE reader! When it came to my attention that there was a new Steminist romance novel about PALEONTOLOGISTS I was foaming at the mouth for it! Like an angel, the extremely talented author sent me an ARC (advance reader copy) of her masterpiece Fossil Feud so I could read it before it hits the shelves in July πŸ₯ΉπŸ«ΆπŸ¦•

More to come for a review, but know that this is a 6 star read for me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PALEONTOLOGIST APPROVED πŸ¦•βœ¨

Why should you trust me and preorder this book if you like to read romance?
1) I'm a paleontologist and can verify this book is a wonderful representation
2) I own a T. rex skull replica and that's pretty neat
3)The plot was inspired by The Bone Wars!!! 🦴
4) Ripley Adams & James Smithson are the cutest πŸ¦–πŸ¦–

Maggie put so much thought and research into this book. Fossil Feud does not read as a gimmick at all. In fact, the opening scene of the book is almost exactly something that happened to me my first year as a museum field paleontologist that I burst out laughing!

Thank you again Maggie and Dell for giving me this opportunity!

Outreach is a very important part of museum life! As much as I love to spend dawn till dusk inside of museums, that's not an option for everyone. πŸ›οΈπŸ¦΄πŸ–ΌοΈ

Getting to large museums, or museums at all, can be a task. Outreach events allow the science to come to you! Outreach can also happen within the museum itself by hosting events, that encourage folks who would not have come in by themselves to join in something specific that sparked their interest! πŸ¦–πŸ¦•β˜„οΈ
For many growing up in older generations, museum trips were something stagnant. There wasn't much interaction, just a bunch of staring.

Outreach not only inspires the next generation, but can reintegrate those from older generations into a love of science with a new sense of accessibility!!!πŸ«‚

Anyways, here are some of my favorite snapshots of a handful of my favorite museum educators 🫢

(I have so many more pictures of others, but they for some reason are very blurry 😭)

This is so about the K-Pg Extinction Event.... obviously πŸ«ΆπŸ˜…πŸ¦•πŸ˜­πŸ’–πŸ¦–πŸ¦΄

I do remind kiddos all the time that the asteroid hit the Earth setting off a chain of events that were this extinction. 🌎
The K-Pg wasn't an instant thing! It is often framed growing up in school as if the impact vaporized all of the dinosaurs right then and there, no more dinos... Nope! The asteroid was the catalyst β˜„οΈ

When a vertebrate paleontologist finds a new invert species πŸ˜‚πŸŒ secrets out! There's a new gastropod occurrence in the Pennsylvanian of Texas. Accidentally found by yours truly, while being a dirt goblin digging through shale 🌊πŸͺ¨

A friend caught this series of expressions in real time, and I think they're hilarious πŸ˜‚πŸ«ΆπŸŒ

Museum collections visits are beginning soon so the mysteries of this sturdy little friend can be revealed.

As of now, this is Snailissa (named for my mom lol) 🐌

Though it looks like I’m taking a page from my husband’s book and shredding on a sick guitar, this huge beautiful is actually a life sized replica of a Parasaurolophus skull from the education collections of 🀯

Parasaurolophus, meaning β€œnear crested lizard”, was a Late Cretaceous Hadrosaur famous for its distinctive skull. There are several theories as to the purpose of the crest, and it probably severed several of them! The generally accepted use was in communication and calls, but other theories include visual identification and temperature regulation!
