I'll be giving a couple of talks @The_Herbert on Sat 9th March for #InternationalWomensDay
What are fossils, who was Mary Anning & what did she find. I'll also be talking about challenges woman & girls still face today.

When I wake up in my own #Permian world 
I get up out of the ocean and wave to #Eryops temnospondyls
Hey, #Dimetrodon (hey), they’re so cool 
All sails up, catching rays by the pool…

#Barbie meets #FluoriteFriday! Fluorite comes in a wide variety of colours thanks to elemental impurities and irradiation. We have a few pink fluorite octahedra on display in the #minerals gallery #BarbieMovie

Solenopora jurassica was (probably) a red calcareous algae which lived in Jurassic seas.

Each band represents seasonal fluctuations in palaeoenvironment, the pink bands relating to lower salinity and higher rates of photosynthesis.

This is a special fossil for #SharkWeek it's a tooth plate of a Jurassic shark called Hybodus. It's from when the shark died, rather than teeth falling out naturally. It came from Lyme Regis. @NHM_London purchased this from Mary Anning in 1846, a year before she died.

@KerryJaneN1 I wonder if @Ecdysozoan would know what a group of trilobites might be called?

[PalaeoBarbie @Palaeobarbie]

Have been looking at some large thin sections of Permian rock from N. E Nevada.
I'm looking at fossil invertebrates like molluscs & other shelly animals.
I like how the rocks are pink in colour!

[PalaeoBarbie @Palaeobarbie]

Been looking at some cool fossils recently @NHM_London here are several trilobites one slab from Morocco ~480million years ago.
This trilobite is called Dikelokephalina, these are extinct arthropods.
