I’ve come to Creswell Crags, where the story of British art started, some 12,000 years ago…
Yes, I've shared this image before - and I'll share it again! Easily the most majestic #trilobite I've ever held in my own hands, this remarkable 34 cm long Paradoxides davidis comes from Middle #Cambrian rocks at Manuels River, #Newfoundland, #Canada. #TrilobiteTuesday
#ExploreYourArchive #EYAMystery Have you heard the tale of "The Sheldon Duck"?🦆 In 1601 a duck flew into an Ash tree and never left! Sometime later the "duck tree" was chopped down due to rot at the bottom and this fascinating imprint the size of a real duck was exposed.🌳🪓
You can see where impressively spiny Ceratocephala got its name, which comes from the Greek for ‘horn head’ #TrilobiteTuesday
We captured a lot of really neat lynx footage this past fall and winter! They are just such ethereal looking creatures, and its always a highlight when we get footage of them, especially in the daylight. We were going to make a video sharing our best lynx footage from the fall…
Big Stinky's Big Adventure: Black and Chrome Edition (I promise there's more planned for this sequence than t. rex beach wandering, but I have to you know... finish the other dinosaurs first).
First sightings of baby beavers born in North Cumbria - @CumbriaWildlife c-js.uk/3ZNYNBn

Damaged but still striking head of Struveria from near Llanrwst, North Wales for #TrilobiteTuesday

Acastoides had compound eyes with very large individual lenses separated from each other #TrilobiteTuesday
New octopus from the Eocene Monte Bolca lagerstatte, appropriately named Bolcaoctopus!
This #TrilobiteTuesday: here's a pair of fabulous Triarthrus eatoni specimens from Ordovician rocks in upstate New York. Limbs and even antennae are sometimes preserved in the incredible #trilobite fossils found in the area. Image: Daniel Kim /@AMNH
More great rewilding news 🙌 Half a million European flat oysters are being introduced back into the Humber estuary as part of Wilder Humber's five-year programme to help restore Britain's coastal waters from overfishing and pollution. Read more: theguardian.com/environment/ar…
The Hove Amber Cup was made from a single piece of Baltic #amber some 3,500 years ago. It was found in a #BronzeAge burial mound in Hove, Sussex. 📷 taken by me
Reassuring to see unity on the sector's opposition to unethical disposal of cultural assets based on loss of public benefit and trust. Huge thanks for the leadership of @ace_national @nmdcnews and others
News | Unethical disposal could endanger public trust, say museum bodies – @ace_national releases joint statement on financially motivated sales from collections Read: ow.ly/NmUx50T8rgO
Two enrolled ‘Dudley bugs’ from our historic collections, one from Cardiff, the other unrecorded but likely from Dudley itself #TrilobiteTuesday
Lovely rock from Solva for #TrilobiteTuesday crammed full of mostly Eodiscus with the occasional Solenopleura. Separate heads and tails suggest this was an accumulation of moulted exoskeletons
Tiny, blind Shumardia (Conophrys) probably lived in the deep sea where there was little or no light #TrilobiteTuesday
