#fossilfriday & #52wochenfotochallenge "Linien und Formen" & Nachtrag zum #FotoVorschlag "Umrisse":

An besonderen Orten kann man #Fossilien finden, die zunächst unmöglich scheinen - wie dieser Abdruck einer #Qualle 🪼 aus der #Lagerstätte #Eichstätt in #Franken 🍻 Quallen sind uralt und spätestens bei der Kambrischen Explosion vor über 500 Millionen Jahren entstanden. Allerdings bleiben von ihnen durch ihren wässrigen Körper nur sehr selten Überreste #fossil erhalten.

Erkennt ihr die Qualle? 🪼🤓

#African #FossilFriday

In the 1980s, a diamond mine in Orapa, #Botswana 🇧🇼 began to yield gems of a different kind: #fossils of #Cretaceous #flowers and #insects, including #flies, #beetles, #ants, and #wasps. This #lagerstätte (a site of exceptional #fossil #preservation) records one of the most important #evolutionary transitions in the history of #life on land: the spread of #flowering #plants and their #coevolution with #insect #pollinators.
