OMG a student found a #trilobite pygidum here in a pebble laid down in the #Triassic! really amazing to confirm these as Ord-Dev clasts. #Dorset24 @eesaupe.bsky.social @oxuniearthsci.bsky.social

And had to change a few plans due to the storm conditions; and ran an exercise on fossil sketching in Dinosaurland! #Dorset24@oxuniearthsci.bsky.social

This is USGS water gage data. The black dots are "all-time high for this day." The pink outlined ones are above flood stage, dark blue are "much above normal." These stretch across a thousand miles.This is USGS water gage data. The black dots are "all-time high for this day." The pink outlined ones are above flood stage, dark blue are "much above normal."

Was just saying about the amazing scan you sent us a couple years ago!

One of my favorites!
