🦴🔬 A #fossil sitting in a #museum drawer since 1979 turned out to be a brand new species: *#Tylosaurus rex*.

Lead researcher Amelia Zietlow (#AMNH) noticed that a #Texas #mosasaur specimen labeled as a known species didn’t match its relatives. The 13-meter-long apex #predator had serrated #teeth, massive jaw #muscles, and battle #scars from fights with its own kind.

If you just want to see the ants at the #AMNH just go around back by 80th st and they are right by the door on the left.

I go back there all the time.

This colony is voracious eating like six mulberry branches a day. They have a whole jungle gym to tire them out.

Walk through the asteroid strike that killed the dinosaurs with American Museum of Natural History’s new ‘Impact’ exhibit

NEW YORK — The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City has opened a new exhibition that takes a multidisciplinary perspective on the asteroid strike that ended the Cretaceous period and killed all the non-avian dinosaurs. The exhibit — aptly called “Impact” — chronicles what was, in the words of AMNH curator of paleontology Roger Benson, Earth’s “worst day of the last half-billion years.”

One spring day 66 million years ago, a rock from outer space slammed into what is now the Yucatan Peninsula. The meteor was roughly the size of Mount Everest, and it struck with the force of 10 billion atomic bombs. Nearby forests instantly incinerated as atmospheric temperatures briefly soared to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Many animals, including large dinosaurs, were buried in ash — though some were able to escape by digging underground or diving underwater.

The tremendous impact also flung a mushroom cloud of ash and dust into the atmosphere, eventually shrouding the planet in a cold gloom. Tiny glass beads rained down as far away as Wyoming. At the same time, the impact triggered landslides, earthquakes and tsunamis around the world.

“Um die Ecke” / Around the corner

Digging out a favorite older photo. The Titanosaur fossil (Patagotitan mayorum) at the Museum of Natural History in NYC is 122 feet long and slightly too big for the room — its skull pokes out of the entrance and peers around the corner, looking into the hallway. A dramatic sight to welcome visitors to the museum’s dinosaur galleries. (Panorama shot — tap and zoom in for details.)

We also went to the Museum of Natural History, which is great.

This Teddy guy was onto something, I think.

Dr. Emmart was there during my stint working in exhibitions at AMNH. I was building an interactive visualization for Mars, and he helped us by producing these awesome fly throughs at different landmarks on the planet's surface. He'll definitely be missed in NYC, but his retirement sounds awesome

For the #acoloradAyPRIL prompt of #peach here is a closeup photo I snapped of a #NorthwestCoast #mask in the collection of the American Museum of Natural History #AMNH

Sharing a few highlight photos that I snapped during a 60 minute run through the Northwest Coast Hall of the American Museum of Natural History which I did November 4th, 2024, just before getting kicked out because of closing time. #AMNH #NorthwestCoastArt #NWC #ArtMuseum I love museums.
