What #dinosaur was actually the biggest? It's a question that scientists are still trying to piece together an answer to, facing challenges from fragmentary fossils.

🐟⏳ #Coelacanths, #sturgeons, #lungfish, #lampreys, #hagfish, and #paddlefish all predate the #dinosaurs by tens to hundreds of millions of years.
Scientists sequenced their genomes, showing slow-evolving genes, ancient duplications, and clues to how our own ancestors moved onto land.

🦖☄️ Paleontologist Michael Benton and meteoriticist Monica Grady reconstruct the final day of the #Cretaceous in real-time – from the silent #asteroid visible as a #star, to the fireball and incineration, to mega-tsunamis, global #wildfires, acid #rain, and a decade-long #winter that snuffed out three-quarters of #Earth’s species.

🦖☄️ 66 million years ago, an #asteroid wiped out 75% of #Earth’s species. The survivors – small #birds, #mammals, #turtles, and #fish – shared key traits: a small body size, the ability to burrow or shelter in #water, and flexible diets. Researchers explain how size, diet, and luck determined who lived and who didn’t.

New review! As this handsomely illustrated book shows, the evolutionary history of mammals in Africa is far more interesting than you would think at first blush.

I found this shale-like rock below a quickly eroding bank of this rock. I’m very curious what organism or process made the patterns on the surface. The railing is 5 1/2” wide.

The earliest known #eukaryotes, the ancestors of all complex #life on Earth, lived in oxygenated, shallow marine environments nearly 1.7 billion years ago.
The earliest eukaryotes for which we have #fossils lived in predominantly near-shore, oxygenated, benthic (on the seafloor) settings.
This implies that the availability of #oxygen was dictating eukaryote #evolution from its early stages.

Fossil Kept in a Museum For Decades Turns Out to Be a Fearsome New Predator.

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.
