UCL student Yasemin visited us today to study and photograph some trilobites in our fossil collection. She is looking at variation within the Silurian species Calymene, better known as the 'Dudley Bug'. We have some lovely examples on display and plenty more in store.

Paleoartist @BobNicholls kneels at his Liopleurodon shrine. All hail pliosaurs!

He was also touching up the paintwork while he was down there.

Palaeontologists Richard Forrest @richardforrest (left) and Jordan Bestwick (right) inspect the fossilised remains of a pliosaur recently excavated from the Oxford Clay by the Peterborough Geological and Palaeontological Group. The disarticulated bones include many beautifully preserved teeth.

Richard, who is the chair of the group, brought it into the #NottNatHist museum for us to look at and help him identify the different bits.
