@CoastalPaleo Our institution is restructuring its social media identity and will be funneling all content through their main account, @gocmnh. There is also new programming available via CMNH@Home! Visit https://t.co/2tSnjb1J86 for more information!
Our last #FossilFriday from your friends @CMNHvertpaleo, and no better #fossil to go out with than CMNH 5768! At 5 feet long, "Dunk" is the largest complete #Dunkleosteus terrelli skull ever found.
It's been a blast sharing with you over the past few years. Thanks for the love!

With everyone being responsible and following #StayHome and #shelteringinplace potocols, local #Cleveland swimming pools have seen a boom in #Dunkleosteus populations! Once thought extinct for 360,000,000 years, these elusive predators have reappeared in their natural habitats!
This is Nine Mile Creek in South Euclid, OH. At first glance it may look gray and overgrown, but to a #paleontologist or #geologist there is more to this view than meets the eye! If you're able, take some time to appreciate your local #geology!

Dunkleosteus is a classic and iconic fossil animal from the Devonian of the Cleveland Shale and I've had a chance to visit one of the spots where its fossils have been found, thanks to a 2017 visit to the @CMNHvertpaleo DinoFest & @clevemetroparks!
@CMNHvertpaleo came across this awesome skull labeled “Miller’s Wolf” from the La Brea Tar Pits in LA.
Very little is known about this species since its prevalence at the site was extremely rare. Is this a subspecies of #greywolf, a #direwolf, or something else entirely? 🤔
Linda the Virginia #opossum took a stroll around the empty @goCMNH galleries and was treated to exercise, enrichment, and close views of the dinosaurs! #goCMNH

This particular Haplocanthosaurus delfsi became the holotype of the species - described by the famous sauropod paleontologist, Jack McIntosh, and former CMNH curator Mike Williams– after being discovered near a Colorado creek bed in 1954. #goCMNH
Our @CMNHvertpaleo squad may be stuck at home, but they’re having a blast sorting archival photographs of @goCMNH's most famous faces! Plus, we found pictures of the our favorite Sauropod, “Happy,” just in time to celebrate #NationalTaxonomistAppreciationDay!
Dunk is practicing social distancing by being suspended 10 feet in the air in Kirtland Hall! @gocmnh is closed to help #flattenthecurve during the COVID-19 outbreak & @CMNHvertpaleo staff are working from home. Stay safe everyone, and wash your fins!

If you're Happy and you know it...
🎶transform into a 60 foot long #sauropod from the Late #Jurassic of North America and stand stoically and don't clap because your palms can't touch and also you're a #fossil and also really deeeeaaaaad...🎶
*clap clap*
