  1. Eremotherium for #FossilFriday.
    This towering giant ground sloth, Eremotherium laurillardi, stands in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. Remounted on a custom steel armature during the 2019 renovation of the Hall of Fossils–Deep Time, its external support structure is a piece of engineering artwork in its own right.

    The animal reportedly contains more than 80% genuine fossil bone and stands 13 feet tall.

  3. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦴👶 #Neanderthal #babies grew much faster than modern #humans, reaching toddler size by just 6 months old.

    Researchers studying Amud 7, a 50,000 year old infant found in #Israel, found its limb #bones matched a 12 to 14 month old child. Researchers confirmed this across multiple Neanderthal #infants.

  8. 27,000-year-old mammoth bones provide rare evidence of human activity in Bavaria

    Archaeologists in southeastern Germany have identified evidence of human activity on the remains of a woolly mammoth dating to roughly 27,000 to 25,000 years ago, a period when signs of human presence in the region are scarce. The find offers a rare glimpse of life in Bavaria during the final stages of the Gravettian culture...

  12. Ice Age 3-5

    SVT viilentää televisiossa kesän ensimmäistä #Värmeböljaaa Ice Age elokuvien sarjalla

    Keskiviikkona vois jopa työläinen ehtiä kotiin jäähdytteleen ajoissa, jos ehtis näkeen vaikka pienen pätkän lopusta...

    .. tosin toimistolla on kyllä varsin toimiva jäähdytys ja siten säällisen viileää

  13. I have made claims about a lagoon of unfrozen water along the east coast of england and scotland during the last ice age. The evidence for this and other absurd claims is laid out here.

  15. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋🦐 #Water buoyancy freed #whales from #gravity’s limits, and the cold #ocean pushed them to grow bigger to stay warm.

    Researchers showed the key was krill: a single mouthful gives blue whales 200 times the #energy they use to lunge, a payoff only possible at giant sizes.
