66 Millionen Jahre alter Seestern am Schönberger Strand entdeckt | NDR.de - Nachrichten - Schleswig-Holstein
Ein Hobby-Paläontologe hat am Strand bei Schönberg eine seltene Entdeckung gemacht. Eine Röntgenuntersuchung am Mittwoch bestätigte seine Hypothese: Es ist ein gänzlich im Stein eingeschlossener Seestern.
Wow was für ein Fund!

A lovely combination of video and sound-track!
From a few million years before & after T-Rex and #dinosaurs.

Downtown. I live on the bottom of a large, ancient, dried up lake. Lake Bonneville. While walking, I have found seashell fossils. They are precious to me. On the inside of one of them, it is iridescent, like mother of pearl.

I'm guessing they had really smelly feet.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not “Eureka!” (I found it!) but “That’s funny …”

So-called "fossil fuels" aren't made from #fossils. If they were, they wouldn't be able to be extracted below the fossil layer & Saturn's moon #Titan wouldn't have vast amounts of #oil inside it.
"Petroleum" is from the ancient #Greek petra + oleum which means rock + oil. Oil, or #petroleum comes from the Earth's geological processes, not fossils. "Fossil fuels" are more accurately called "hydrocarbons."
We've been conned by #BigOil, the #Rockefellers & #marketing agencies in order to create a false #perception of #scarcity to control #population & #economic development via artificial #energy scarcity & #price fixing.

#paleontology #fossils #cynodonts #TessellatiaBonapartei An article published in the journal "Scientific Reports" reports the identification of a new species of cynodont that lived about 220 million years ago, in the #Triassic period, in today's Argentina. A team of researchers named it Tessellatia bonapartei after examining a partial skull using an unusual neutron tomography technique.

A team of researchers named it #Qikiqtania wakei and illustrated similarities and differences with #Tiktaalik roseae.
