This tiny archosauromorph femur is as long as my distal phalanx! Found yesterday at @PetrifiedNPS #fossilfriday #triassic

Here’s @Koskinonodon holding an ontogenetic series of three metoposaurid intercentra found in the quarry while measuring a section through the site. #gottacatchemall #mur

This is the world’s oldest fossil crayfish, Enoploclytia porteri, found at @PetrifiedNPS. It was native to northern Arizona 220 million years ago, but now crayfish are invasive here and you can catch and eat as many as you want with a valid @azgfd fishing license. #mudbug

I’ve been scanned a few times at @SummitHealthAZ but I prefer scanning fossils from @PetrifiedNPS. Thanks for some great data! This is an aetosaur skull from PEFO found by @yalepeabody. With @JustDinos and @WAReyes6.

Had a great three weeks with @VTechmeetsPaleo at and near @PetrifiedNPS! Y’all come back now, you hear? @DevinKHoffman @TheKhanine @JustDinos @EddinsHannah @JustDinos @brenenwynd #triassic #fossils #Paratypothorax

@PetrifiedNPS rocks ROCK!

The jacket we made over this giant femur was so smooth it could have been a Santana and Rob Thomas collaboration. @VTechmeetsPaleo

National Park gateway communities are part of this interaction.

I spent my 20s in some of the most beautiful towns in the West. It had its downsides. Namely, the poverty bit. https://t.co/LUGP0tX3pt

Excavating for fossil amber at @PetrifiedNPS with @VTechmeetsPaleo. Welcome... to Triassic Park

There's more to Lowell Observatory than just the Discovery Channel Telescope. We have several smaller telescopes, and we operate the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer, which is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar upgrade.

@JoshuaTreeNPS Also: WTF (Where's the forest)

[Petrified Forest FI @PefoFieldInst]

@JoshuaTreeNPS Petrified Forest: a bunch of picked over rocks
Or my favorite: "This place is so beautiful, it's just that it's in the middle of nowhere..." 😳

New paper day! Read about U-Pb geochronology of the Sonsela Member of the Chinle Formation and how it relates to underlying strata and fluvial systems: https://t.co/l35NuG9UPi

@FOX10Phoenix How about some love for Arizona's other gems? @PetrifiedNPS Temps are still mild and the wildflowers are blooming. Bring the family and the dog to hike the trails and enjoy colorful scenery, historic sites and the fantastic petrified wood.

[Petrified Forest FI @PefoFieldInst]

@Interior Wildflowers gloriously punctuate an already colorful landscape at @PetrifiedNPS. The next few weeks will be a great time to visit and photograph them at full bloom. photo by Ranger Anita Varnon.
