🦐 A newly identified species of shrimp has been named in honour of the people of Glasgow - Tealliocaris weegie.
New research published in an RSE journal by researchers @NtlMuseumsScot and @hunterian has forever identified it as a Glaswegian crustacean. https://t.co/nhglMF4n9E
Dates for GeoNatter at Kelvin Hall, Glasgow. An opportunity to have a chat about all things geological and show your pet rocks for discussion and identification.
@incisorial@palaeokatie@hunterian There are quite a variety of sharks from Bearsden with a variety of different 'brush' types or lack thereof (Falcatus, Orestiacanthus, Denae, Akmonistion, Helodus, Deltoptichius, iniopterygians, and Tristychius - as well as this big skull with no brush/teeth on top of the head)
@palaeokatie@incisorial@hunterian I'm not sure this shark has a brush complex at all. There are no teeth on the top of the head as Akmonistion does, do at least a different animal.
A pleasure to introduce Fossil Grove to the @NewPhyt editorial meeting at the weekend!
Thanks @JurassicClark1 for showing us the collections @hunterian, and a huge thanks to @agalmatolite #FossilGroveTrust for giving a great history of the site
The next geo natter is tomorrow (Wednesday the 1st March) from 1:30-3pm in Kelvin Hall. Everyone is welcome to come along and chat rocks! Tomorrrow’s theme is ammonites! 🤩
