This week for #Fossilfriday we have another #Guess that #Lego #Fossil.
This one I would rate as medium. This mid sized marsupial is known from Australia.
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).
This was designed by me.

🐂 #LostBones #FossilFriday 🐟🐘🦥🐴🐪 This month I'm back out #CountingBones. At the Winnebago Area Museum a quiet storage room revealed bison and horse remains from two Blue Earth River sites
Shout out: this museum has been entirely volunteer run for half a century — the kind of stewardship that will help keep Ice Age stories alive.

This week’s Fossil Friday is a Late Cretaceous sea star from Alberta (APS 1987.038). It was found in the Cardium Formation, which formed along the shallow margin of the Western Interior Seaway. This seaway bisected North America, connecting the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. This sea star would have lived in the warm, shallow waters along that margin.
It was found by Harvey Negrich and Don Sabo. Photo credit Howard Allen.

This week’s Fossil Friday is a tooth of Sandalodus, a Carboniferous shark. This animal was swimming in the tropical seas that covered Alberta roughly 350 million years ago. At that time, much of Alberta lay under a warm, shallow sea - more like the Bahamas today than the prairies we know now!
This specimen was found near Bragg Creek in southern Alberta. It is APS 1985.020 and was collected by Geoffrey Barrett.

This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Sinoceratops
The holotype was found in 2008 in the Hongtuya Formation of the Wangshi Group in Shandong, China. It consists of a partial skull, including a braincase.
Paleontologist Xu Xing and colleagues described and named Sinoceratops, in 2010.
Sinoceratops was the first ceratopsian found in Asia. Its not exactly clear, due to the fragmentary nature of the fossils, how they related to American ceratopsians.

#FotoVorschlag #asymmetrisch & #52wochenfotochallenge #Hände & #fossilfriday
Hier mein wohl liebstes #Fossil - für Führungen im #Museum klasse, denn wer möchte nicht mal einem #Dino die #Hand geben? 🫳🦖 Hier ist es allerdings eigentlich der #Fuß und der #Saurier ist auch nicht so groß: Ein #Psittacosaurus aus der Verwandtschaft von #Triceratops - allerdings nur so groß wie ein mittlerer Hund 🐕 Die Papageischnabel-Echse 🦜 ist einer von wenigen Dinos, dessen #Farben wir kennen!

🐂 Happy #Minnesota #FossilFriday! 🦥🐴🐘🐪 These large upper bison molars — plus partial maxilla — are part of a 2024 donation to the Melrose Area Museum. The collection, contributed by a museum board member, also includes horn cores, mandibles, individual teeth, and other Ice Age materials.
If you’re into Midwest deep time stories, follow along and explore the full project in my bio.
