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.

🐂 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.

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.

This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- I bought a bargain second-hand copy of The Rise and Fall of the Ediacaran Biota, published by the Geological Society
- To prove it's not all hardcore science here, I visited my friend's new bookshop in Brixham in Devon and snagged myself a copy of SenLinYu's Alchemised, published by Michael Joseph. If you're in the area, go check out Into the West Bookshop, tell them The Inquisitive Biologist sent you.
- Another second-hand bargain was Cold-Water Corals: The Biology and Geology of Deep-Sea Coral Habitats (yes, these exist!), published by Cambridge University Press.#Books #Bookstodon #Fossils #Paleontology #Palaeontology #Geology #EarthSciences #Corals #MarineBiology #DeepSea #Scicomm @bookstodon
