This week for #Fossilfriday we have another #Guess that #Lego #Fossil.
This one I would rate as medium. This sauropod is known from the Late Cretaceous, Argentina.
Hide your guesses behind a content warning, so others can guess without being spoilt. I will post the answer tomorrow (and to anyone who guesses correctly).

We visited the World Fossil Finder Museum in May. Located in Hot Springs, South Dakota, this place was really cool and the people were awesome. Don't miss out visiting it if you're planning to go the Black Hills area.

do any of my #fossil using circles know if there's an analog to something like `git am` to apply a mbox file full of patch-messages?
While I can manually save each message's patches, manually naming each one in some sort of easy-to-determine name-order, and then use patch(1) to apply each one in turn (committing as needed, manually copying in commit-message content from the mailbox), it's be a lot easier to just point it some mbox file and let it do the heavy lifting.
Similarly, is there a way for fossil to generate (and send?) a patch-series like `git format-patch [--stdout]` does?

PS:
Ich denke ja auch, dass die #Gasspeicher derzeit DESHALB so leer sind, DAMIT #GasKathi "uns" im #Winter verklickern kann/darf/muss, dass wir daran, dass kein #Gas da ist, doch "alle" sehen können, dass wir garnicht umhin kommen, mehr #Fossil zu machen und überhaupt!1!!!ölf!
Hey, aber bis dahin hat das Land ja auch AfD-Regierungen, also was soll schon passieren? 🤮

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦖🪨 Anderson Taylor, 11, opened the Cambridge #NaturalHistory Museum in #Cambridge, Illinois, at age 9 and now holds the #GuinnessWorldRecord as the youngest male #museum curator.
His collection began when he found a #fossil in his driveway around age 3 and grew through local finds and a trip to #Scotland. The #museum holds roughly 1,000 items, including #Illinois state fossil the Tully #monster, and draws hundreds of visitors to the town of about 2,000.

Ancient flowering #plants may have used #dinosaurs to spread their #seeds
#Fossils upend a long-held theory about #angiosperm #evolution
Over 74 million years ago, there was a richer garden of fruit- and seed-bearing plants than scientists thought. A #fossil analysis suggests that tall forest trees spread winged seeds and fed animals with fleshy, blueberry-sized fruits long before the reign of the dinosaurs ended.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦊🐋 #Indohyus was a #fox-sized, semi-aquatic mammal that lived in and around the coast of an island #India 49 to 45 million years ago.
#Fossil evidence, including a #skull accidentally broken in the lab in 2007, showed whale-like inner-ear #bones that placed it as the closest non-whale relative of all modern #whales. It gave rise to #Pakicetus and a chain of increasingly aquatic ancestors leading to today’s toothed and #baleen whales.

I'm breaking up this stone for infill for the dry stone wall on which I'm working. It has within it a jumble of plant fossil material.
There's a larger stem across the centre of the stone. #fossil

A new dino #fossil may solve an ancient murder mystery
Since 2002, researchers have unearthed over 100 prehistoric #bird remains in #ChangmaBasin of NW #China. Some consist of broken bones embedded in regurgitated pellets, similar to those coughed up by owls. #Paleontologists long assumed a carnivorous #dinosaur was to blame. Fossil evidence of predator has remained elusive, until now. Newly described #microraptor species may explain avian carnage.

A New #Fossil Discovery Just Rewrote 150 Years of Evolutionary Theory
For 150 years, #paleontologists assumed that the first vertebrates to leave the sea for land evolved a tadpole phase, similar to modern #frogs. Immaculately-preserved #fossils disprove that, scientists say. To their surprise, esearchers found no evidence of a transient larval phase in the early animals, thereby “falsifying hypotheses of an ancestral origin of metamorphosis."

Mit der Deppenregierung wird das nix. Reiche, Merz, Söder und Co dienen ihren Amigos in der Fossilbranche und fahren dafür das Land an die Wand.
