  1. 🐴🦥🐘🐪 #FossilFriday — Horse incisor & molar from Brown County

    Brown County keeps delivering Ice Age finds — horse molars, mammoth tusk, and pelvis fragments from local gravels. Three New Ulm horse molars are already headed for radiocarbon dating, with more finds coming.

  6. Vorige Woche hat Michaela Ecker, Archäologin an der @kieluni, gemeinsam mit Kollegïnnen des @cnrs (Frankreich), der University of Botswana und der @uniheidelberg ihre Forschungen in Botswanas Hauptstadt Gaborone vorgestellt. Eingeladen hatten die Botschafterinnen Deutschlands und Frankreichs. Die Präsentation war der Abschluss einer mehr als dreiwöchigen Forschungskampagne in Botswana, in der es unter anderem um Mensch-Umwelt-Interaktionen vor rund 100.000 Jahren ging.

  9. Starting to prepare #IrishCaveBones from Killuragh Cave, Co. Limerick for Licencing applications to the National Museim of Ireland, for radiocarbon dates, #aDNA and stable isotopes from multi-species. Including #dogs ! Will be photographing these & more later in the week and filling in the licence forms. Also some unidentified bone fragments will go for ZooMS analysis to determine the their species. #loveirishresearch #bones #cave #quaternary #palaeozoology #zooarchaeology #Pleistocene

  10. Fort Hill, #Roxbury Crossing, #Boston, #Massachusetts,#USA
    Fort Hill is named for the fort (not this tower!) erected on it between the confrontation at Concord in April 1775 and British evacuation of Boston when Washington et al. moved guns onto #Dorchester Heights in March 1776 (independence “declared” in July 1776). The hill is capped by the Roxbury Conglomerate (#Neoproterozoic, ~600 Ma), which sports rakish #Pleistocene glacial striations. #history #geology #Fujifilm #glacial #NewEngland

  11. Pleistocene glacial striations on Devonian and Neoproterozoic rock in New England. Savin Hill, Middlesex Fells, and Mt Monadnock. See captions for details.
