#ichnology — Public Fediverse posts

Another video from Paleo 2026 has been posted! Dr. Jon Noad explains different often-overlooked trace fossils and uses comparison with living traces to show how these fossils are more numerous than we think - we just need to know what to look for.

For those working on #tracks / #footprints / #ichnology, I've made a neat little addon for #blender that aligns a mesh to the horizontal at z=0 based on a few points. Open and up on github:

New review: Life Sculpted is a witty book that boils over with fascinating studies about one of the more obscure corners of biology: bioerosion.

06/11/2023 at Brazos Bend State Park, I saw 2 alligator nests on the Spillway Trail. The first was about 50 steps from the East end of the Spillway bridge; and two alligators were near it! The 2nd nest was about 50 yards further East, near bird box #18. It also had an alligator directly in front of it. Water levels near Pilant Lake look ok now, but I hope the water is still there by the end of August--when the eggs usually hatch. #ichnology #Alligator #Archosaur #crocodilian #reptiles
