Looking under logs is so much fun. There’s always loads to discover. Teeny tiny Lachnum species this time. I love ‘em 🤍 Look under logs, guys! #fungi #devonmushrooms #lookingunderlogs

Julian is marvelling at the second longest arrow shaft that we have recovered from the ice😮 The shaft measures 1 m in length and dates to the Late Bronze Age. We have quite a few very long arrow shafts and all the radiocarbon-dated ones are 2000 years old or older.

Crinoids are marine animals belonging to the phylum Echinodermata - meaning that they exhibit gorgeous five-fold radial symmetry. Crinoids are still around today but these stalked Carboniferous examples are 330 million years old. Nature is mesmerising 🖤

Oscillating through water in seamless, harmonic motion, the undulatory propulsion of the Ribbon Eel is mesmerizing. For a great #science study exploring the evolution of the locomotory system in eels like this Rhinomuraena quaesita, enjoy: https://t.co/VvRXsiru5T
