Earth’s hottest recorded day was 16.92°C (62.46°F) on 24 July 2022

We’ve broken this record on each of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 July 2023, so far

It’s the hottest it’s been in 125,000 years. Now back to drilling for oil everyone

My first @BucknellGeo @BucknellU spring break trip to Death Valley NP— so many amazing rocks, the best colleagues, and a ton of fun!! These students learned SO MUCH in just one week and became such good teammates by the end.

200 years of history meets 200 million years of prehistory. What better place to host this year's Yorkshire Fossil Festival than the wonderful @WhitbyMuseum: https://t.co/YzDh6UwaMN?

🚨🚨 New paper alert🚨 🚨 in @Nature on the emergence of the latitudinal diversity gradient in planktonic foraminifera, with @isabelfenton @Climate_AlexF Tracy Aze & Paul Valdes. We found the modern gradient emerged ~15 Ma, driven primarily by speciation!

#MosasaurMonday

Did you know that we have skin impressions of Mosasaurs?

This gorgeous Platecarpus specimen, on display at the @NHMLA is one that shows the texture of the skin! They had small scales not too dissimilar from living lizards.

Who’s up for a game of hide-&-seek this #TrilobiteTuesday? Pictured is Arctinurus boltoni, a 420-million-yr-old trilobite from the Rochester Shale Quarry of NY that was frozen in time alongside a crinoid. Could this trilobite have been hiding behind a crinoid? And if so, why?

Happy #TrilobiteTuseday

Here is small trilobite known as Bolaspidella. This comes from the Middle Cambrian (Drumian) Conasauga Formation of Floyd County, Georgia.

NEW from NOAA SOS: This dataset shows the tsunami wave caused by the asteroid that hit Earth 66 million years ago. The wave was so impressive because the asteroid is estimated to have been 6+ miles (10+ km) in diameter! Want to learn more? https://t.co/MHCGQ1VDEa

Are you a fan of #Jeopardy? Last night there was a whole category dedicated to geology! How many of these questions would you get right? Check the alt text of each picture for the answer! (and the reply Tweet for the 5th question!)

Today's the first day of classes for the Spring 2023 semester!! 🎉But geology doesn't take breaks! Over the Winter Recess Prof. Chris Daniel and student Jonathon Moyer ('24) took a trip to Arizona to collect some data in the field! Let's keep that motivation through the semester!

As we prepare for the incoming weather lets take a moment to pause and look at the visible imagery and marvel at what Mother Nature is sending our way.
