Happy #FossilFriday! Getting back on track with our project thanks to Covid vaccinations and re-opened UCB campus! Welcomed John, our newest Team Resin member excited to image the Chiapas MX amber inclusions, here imaging a #bee. @ucmpberkeley. #fossil #insects #imls

Happy #FossilFriday! We'll soon be getting back in the lab, but sad reminder on this 1-year Covid-19 anniversary of when we started in 1/2020 and the abrupt end. Lab's logbook last entry 3/13/2020. @ucmpberkeley #fossil, #insects

Looking forward to highlighting UCMP Collections today with @alfmuseum on #NationalFossilDay!

Happy #NationalFossilDay! Here is the fossilized tooth whorl of Helicoprion, a shark relative that lived during the Permian about 298 - 252 million years ago.

It's #FossilFriday and we're so excited! 59 Chiapas Mexican #amber #parasiticwasps made their way back from Canada to @ucmpberkeley after 54 years! May be UCMP record for most outstanding loan? @FossilInsectTCN @US_IMLS

[weDIGbugs2 @bfi_PEN_IMLS]

For #FossilFriday Team Resin @ucmpberkeley providing instruction on how to embed roaches for use in pest management education and outreach. German and Asian #roaches are tough to tell apart! Added some #frass for enhanced educational value. @FossilInsectTCN @US_IMLS
