  1. This week’s Fossil Friday is a Late Cretaceous sea star from Alberta (APS 1987.038). It was found in the Cardium Formation, which formed along the shallow margin of the Western Interior Seaway. This seaway bisected North America, connecting the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. This sea star would have lived in the warm, shallow waters along that margin.

    It was found by Harvey Negrich and Don Sabo. Photo credit Howard Allen.

  3. Invertebrates (Marine Animals by Panini), Part 3

    This time we’ll be seeing all of the ‘invertebrates’ made in the Panini mini series. This is probably the most taxonomically broad one, and also the largest group. They’d also be among the more difficult ones to identify to species, but sometimes guesses can be made. On the upside, the small size makes them appropriate for dioramas and accessories with conventional figures. As long as the […]

  6. "To raise sunflower stars in captivity and release them to the Pacific, however, scientists must first learn how to keep stars from dying. And for that, they must know what’s killing them in the first place."

  8. CW: Researchers identified a particular strain of ocean bacteria that causes seastar wasting disease


    … researchers reported that they have identified a particular strain of ocean bacteria that has killed more than 6 billion sea stars since 2013.

    In all, scientists have seen signs of the disease in 26 species, but the sunflower stars were hardest hit and appeared to be completely eradicated from some areas.
