☀️ #DarwinDay Understanding Evolution What is evolution and how does it work? A project of the UC Museum of Paleontology (UCMP) Evolution 101 provides the nuts-and-bolts on the patterns and mechanisms of evolution. https://lnkd.in/gF489x3g

I got the front and back covers for my upcoming middle grade book Jurassic Girl. It's about Mary Anning. She's known as the "Mother of Paleontology." You can preorder the book here: https://lnkd.in/ePPU2Ejs

This diagram illustrates the areas at risk for landslides across the United States. In the video about critical landslide regions, Dr. Brenda Hunda, the Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology at the Cincinnati Museum Center, observes, "Examining a landslide risk map of the U.S. reveals four major zones prone to frequent landslides...Surprisingly, the fourth zone is right here." This video - https://buff.ly/3CFrwfy - delves into the reasons why.

Here's a the new illustration I worked on for the upcoming edition of Vertebrate Paleontology by Mike Benton. This is Helicoprion davisii using its tooth whorl to remove a nautiloid from its shell. The image is an updated version of a figure in my 2015 pub in The Journal of Morphology (https://lnkd.in/ezfn2eKy), without the force vectors!

Paleontology Paleontology is the study of the history of life on Earth as based on fossils. Fossils are the remains of plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and single-celled living things that have been replaced by rock material or impressions of organisms preserved in rock. Paleontology, also spelled palaeontology or palæontology, is the scientific study of life that existed prior to, and sometimes including, the start of the Holocene epoch. It includes the study of fossils to classify organisms and study their interactions with each other and their environments. The study of fossils is an intricate art and science. There are hardly any takers in India. But a 15-year-old's fascination for fossils is taking her places. https://lnkd.in/gS8hK4RX
