@bibibivalve @ShamindriT Michal, I don't think you'll be able to hear the ocean in that one....

Paleodrama! Specimen of the Pliocene clam Astarte obliquata from the Netherlands escaped an almost certain death by a drilling snail 3(!) times. #FossilFriday #paleo #fossil #paleontology #snails https://t.co/q5k893Ct3Y

Pulses of sinking carbon are reaching the #deepsea in ways not captured by global #climate models: https://t.co/LTgalPuIdC @Mucktopus

Most sea urchins have spines covered in a layer of tissue. Pencil urchins- Eucidaris tribuloides shown here- don't. That means the spines serve as a hard substrate for other inverts (barnacles, serpulid worms, bryozoans, hydroids, etc) to settle on. A traveling habitat! #1001jars

It was a good weekend for some Late #Paleozoic field work with @echinerd and @Andrew_G_Flynn with some amazing partially articulated #crinoids!

Giving a talk tomorrow late afternoon (2:45 pm) at #GSA2018! Come see some really cool deep-time marine food webs 🦑🦞🐟🦐🦞🐡🦈

[Dr. Adiel Klompmaker @paleoadiel.bsky.social @paleoadiel]

Great short course about teaching in paleontology today! Organized by members of the Paleontological Society. #GSA2018 #paleobiology #paleontology

[Petsios Lab Paleobiology @PetsiosLab]

I'll also be at #GSA Indianapolis to meet with interested students and to talk about potential projects!

[Petsios Lab Paleobiology @PetsiosLab]

Interested in a degree in #invertebrate #paleontology? I'm looking for students (M.S. or Ph.D.) to work on large scale #macroecology or #macroevolution projects with me @BaylorGeo. Contact me or go to my website: https://t.co/gzCNPGE7Qv
