Sorry mate. you got fooled by a fraudulent unpublished graph by a non-scientist crank blogger Nasif Nahle who incompetently & dishonestly misrepresented the work of the "cited" scientists. The scientists were interviewed & said it's not their work:

Shewchuk, you're an activist for the CO2 Coalition fossil fuel propaganda group. You refuse to answer ANY valid science questions about your dishonest methods for ANY of your fake memes You know you can't defend your lies. They're propaganda, not science.

It is the 206th birthday of Eunice Foote, the woman whose simple experiments in 1856 first showed what we know as the Greenhouse Effect. https://t.co/UfOCLbnfCd First Paper to Link CO2 and Global Warming, by Eunice Foote (1856) — The Public Domain Review

I became part of this project first as a interested observer but only a few month before it went into review Johan asked me to make some artwork of the press release. As I had a rather tricky perspective in mind I actually build for this a model of Temnodontosaurus.

This #FossilFriday we are thrilled to report that we now have a replica model of an extremely rare type of Plesiosaur that was once found here at Lyme Regis, called Anningasaura, to use in our Education Programme at the Museum.

Feels like Christmas! Got a load of new 3D prints made for teaching @FlindersPalaeo Vertebrate anatomy & palaeontology topics this semester… can you recognise any of the taxa? #lungfish #tetrapod #temnospondyl #galeaspid

Save our science! South Australian Museum restructure protest - don't let our research get left behind!

Reminds me of that one movie with Samuel Jackson…

New paper out this week investigating the biomechanics and evolution of plant eating #dinosaurs

Led by @ItsDavidButton, with me, @PalaeoStephan, @LauraBPorro, and @NHMdinolab, and funded by @NERCscience.

Happy #FossilFryday
It´s a pleasure to share with all you this beautiful MAJUNGASAURUS CRENATISSIMUS skull
Cretaceous Period 70 to 66 mya
Scale 1/1
36 articulated bones with magnets
Thanks to
@3dSlicerAPP Segmentation
@Morphosource Original file
@Witmerlab Skull paper

Such a clever idea - during the pandemic, animal anatomy students couldn't visit the @GrantMuseum in person to handle animal bones, so the museum 3D-printed animal skulls to post out to students so they could continue their studies at home.

[Ramón @ramonglez57]

Happy #FossilFriday and Happy new year !

CAMARASAURUS LENTUS.
155 -145 mya.
File: David Button @ItsDavidButton Thanks Articulated lower jaw.
A cut at the braincase allows to see it´s inner side.
Each bone painted with different color.
Study for 3Dprinting with @SlicerApp 👇

DO YOU LIKE DINOSAUR COMPARATIVE ANATOMY? I show you two SPLENIAL bones.The little one is from MAJUNGASAURUS .Cretaceous Period. 70-66 (mya).The big one ...do you know who it belongs to? (is a movie star! )
