Haven't done #FossilFriday in a bit! Here's a cast of PART of a Kronosaurus snout I recently saw at the @qldmuseum (original specimen is at @yalepeabody).

Would you boop this snoot in life?

A slew of 480-million-year-old trilobite fossils could give clues into the migratory behavior of these ancient arthropods. https://t.co/vnzNfskHfW
