  1. Might I interest you in some early #tetrapods ? I find them oddly endearing. The pictures are from the Natural History Museum in London, one of my favorite museums.

    (Though I guess #tiktaalik is more if a #fish than an early tetrapod)

  2. #FossilAdventCalendar Day 24

    Our journey #north ends with one of the most important #fossils ever found. Like Puijila, Tiktaalik roseae is known from #Nunavut 🇨🇦, has an #Inuktitut name (meaning "large freshwater #fish"), and records an important #evolutionary transition, this time from #sea to #land. #Tiktaalik shares traits with both fish and #tetrapods, making it a close relative of all of us land-living #vertebrates. This replica and model are from the #CanadianMuseumOfNature.
