@wrexhammuseums @TyPawb @DarganfodD @MEEBangor @brymboheritage The project has has a tough and rocky time during COVID but hopefully there will be some news in the next few months!

[Brymbo Fossil Forest @fossilforest]

Set up at @TyPawb ready for @DarganfodD! We'll be here from 10 until 4 if you want to visit us and chat about the work on site and with @MEEBangor

Morons have seriously damaged the Crystal Palace #Megalosaurus (@cpdinosaurs). These historical sculptures are so precious, please consider donating to their repair and preservation: https://t.co/kICSluPjut. #PaleoArt #SciArt #PalaeoArt #SciComm

While we are a somewhat smaller operation, our collection is nonetheless unique, over 1000 Late Carbonifeorus paleobotanical specimens exclusively curated by volunteers from the local community and beyond! #MuseumsUnlocked #palaeobotany #palaeontology #paleobotany #paleontology

@TheRhodRecord @RobJewsbury @maddiemoate Once @Museum_Cardiff is open again, it would be worth coming to see the Fossil Swamp exhibiton with some excellent examples from @fossilforest https://t.co/gWMfcqohGf

Surprise! We’re working on features for 8.0.4! Enchantments are back, now renamed Archaeologist I - III and Paleontologist I - III. They can be obtained through villager trades and rarely from the enchanting table.

We are absolutely over the moon that our 2nd round heritage lottery fund application was successful! This means that the entire heritage area, inc. Fossil Forest project will see significant developments in the near future! 4.1 million quid! Whoah! https://t.co/bEO8qkTDqN

Just look at this prehistoric chonker!

[Gabriel N. U. @SerpenIllus]

I decided to sketch a distant relative of ours, the very odd Cotylorhynchus, a huge caseid synapsid from the Early Permian of North America. The disproportionately small head and plump body of caseids make them one of the weirdest tetrapods ever to exist #paleoart #sciart
