Fossils - Tumblr Posts
A small, abstract pencil drawing. I draw these late at night just before I get into bed.
I never know what I’m going to draw. I simply make a mark and see what happens. This looks to me a bit like a fossil… or maggots having a feast!
More old art because I have been super busy! I drew this while listening to the audiobook of Jurassic Park from an Audible free trial lol
A collage I made for my Art Club! I tried to make the diversity of topics Paleontology has under its name present from the Hard Knock Lives of the animals to how many were Living Large!
Had a thought about this, but what's the best way to show prehistoric life off to museum visitors? I feel like In my honest opinion that showing the animals in their ecosystems is already magical enough.
Any way to show that these animals are organisms who lived through the trials of time and to show how our understanding and relationship has also changed are the ways I feel like are the best for scientific education.
Alot of time, I've noticed folks can look at the old bones, but won't think about what they entail. How the bones of an animal can tell us their life's story, their struggles and their survival was the triumph of their lives. They may be gone now but their story still remains. But it is up to us to properly show and explain that story.
Because if we don't understand what happened in the past, then we will be blind towards our future. It is up to us here and now to be ready to prepare ourselves and each other for whatever the universe might hold in store for our spaceship called Earth.
Who’s up for a game of hide-and-seek this Trilobite Tuesday? Pictured is Arctinurus boltoni, a 420-million-year-old trilobite from the Rochester Shale Quarry of New York. It’s preserved alongside a crinoid—a marine organism that used feather-like arms to catch drifting food particles. Though they resemble plants, crinoids are actually animals.
The proximity of these two ancient organisms, frozen together in time, makes for some interesting speculation. Could this trilobite have been hiding behind a crinoid? And if so, why?

This mount at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences brilliantly demonstrates how puny Velociraptor is in direct comparison to Tyrannosaurus
Reworked page 2 of Sunken Gem.
