Fossil Reptile Bones & Coprolite – Upper Triassic – Aust Cliff, Westbury Formation, Bristol UK

Fossil Reptile Bones and Coprolite in Matrix – Upper Triassic – Aust Cliff, Westbury Formation, Bristol, UK

This exceptional block contains genuine reptile bone fragments and an accompanying coprolite (fossilised faeces), preserved together in a matrix from the world-famous fish, reptile, and coprolite bed at Aust Cliff, Bristol. This geological unit, known as the Westbury Formation, is part of the Penarth Group and dates back to the Upper Triassic Period (around 205–210 million years ago).

Scientific and Geological Context:

Location: Aust Cliff, near Bristol, UK

Formation: Westbury Formation

Group: Penarth Group

Geological Period: Upper Triassic

Depositional Environment: Coastal lagoon/estuarine system subject to episodic flooding and anoxic conditions, perfect for preservation of organic material

Lithology: Dark laminated mudstones and siltstones with fossil-rich horizons

Palaeoecology: Rich with vertebrate remains including fish, early marine reptiles (e.g. placodonts and ichthyosaurs), and evidence of terrestrial vertebrate activity via coprolites and bone beds

Fossil Features and Significance:

The coprolite is thought to originate from a carnivorous vertebrate and often contains inclusions such as crushed bone fragments, giving insights into the diet of Triassic predators. The reptile bones in this block may represent fragments from marine or marginal marine reptiles that inhabited or were washed into the depositional basin.

Morphology Highlights:

Long, cylindrical coprolite with preserved texture and mineral replacement

Bone fragments exhibit porous internal structure typical of vertebrate remains

Notable Use: Coprolites from this bed are significant for palaeoecological reconstructions and are used to study trophic chains in Late Triassic environments

books, Q1 2025

It became very important to me to complete my local romance bookstore's bingo challenge. No other real excuses.

The Outskirter's Secret - Rosemary Kirstein Before I started this, I saw a comment that the romance had been inexpertly added, and I thought, Bel and Rowan have too beguiling a bond to convincingly date, there's so many overlapping loyalties and such honor to Rowan's self-possession and Bel's expertise. And then Rowan meets a guy with whom she shares easygoing intimacy and slowly, slowly, betrayal of the self for the possibility of the future? A guy?

The Language of Power - Rosemary Kirstein Why yes, some of book four made more sense after I read book three. Picking the wizard programming bombs and hand in glove sexual treachery was a nourishing throwback. I wish I had read these books two decades ago so I could re-read them now and say, dang that was as good as I remembered!

The Courtship of Princess Leia - Dave Wolverton SHE is the princess-general, HE is the prince-treasure, oh and HE is a third guy, a smuggler, regular type guy you know the drill, THEY could have gotten married and lived in fabulous plenty, real twist posed for the revanchists. One of the best things about tie-in novels is that a meaningful, but not broadly-applicable invention like the Witches of Dathomir will be created, and thereafter everyone either has to use the genius matriarchy who meld with another genius matriarchy or explain why the universe doesn't let witches appear in glorious raiment.

Tikka Chance on Me - Suleikha Snyder SHE is waitressing at her parents' restaurant, HE brings his motorcycle gang to dinner, THEY do convincingly have reasons not to meet in public, which is a difficult trick to pull off when writing about adults who can generally go places alone.

40-Love - Olivia Dade SHE is controlling, HE is controlling, THEY have an excruciating meet-cute. Unusually the first-half banter in this one reads as two people who enjoy telling jokes to one another as they glide over their certainty that if they unwind it, they can both get back to a point where they hadn't made any self-defining mistakes, that is: authentically.

Ravished - Amanda Quick SHE is an archaeologist who prioritizes her needs and interests (cool bones) over everything else, HE is not very good about expressing his feelings but he is going to need to learn if he wants to keep up with her. THEY get married to clear title to her plesiosaur fossil and also convince everyone else that despite their zesty sexual chemistry, they won't get bored of one another. Zany spin-up of a Beauty and the Beast premise, which despite slacking in the second half (no! stay angry at your father forever! sell his horses and hurt his feelings!) is consistently rescued by the dinosaurs.

Capturing the Silken Thief - Jeannie Lin SHE is an artist living hand to mouth, HE is a student doing the same, THEY find the missing erotic scroll together and perhaps … learn that there are greater forces than money? jk no there aren't, they still have a happy ending.

My Fair Concubine - Jeannie Lin SHE is a teagirl who needs to get away from her life & job situation, HE has an incredible offer, THEY cultivate her manners and her beauty in a series of enjoyable makeover montages. Interestingly, the Pygmalion premise is substantially complicated by tenuous diplomatic relations, ethical obligations, and the risk of financial catastrophe. Every book should have so many events and such a clear thematic arc, nonetheless complicated by love. AND she dresses as a boy so they can go to the theater.

An Illicit Temptation - Jeannie Lin SHE is a faux princess, HE is a temporary bodyguard, THEY share a night of passion on the steppes.

The Moon in the Palace - Weina Dai Randel SHE is Wu Zetian, HE is honestly I did not even care I was just waiting for him to die, which he signally failed to do because apparently that's in the sequel? The sequel? There is a good simile about the blackheads on the emperor's chin appearing as flies clustering around his mouth.

The Hidden Blade - Sherry Thomas SHE trains to be responsible for cultivating her chi and jumping up the sides of buildings, HE believes himself to be responsible for everything that happens in his vicinity and can't do that, THEY do not even meet on the page in this one, he only sees her from a distance, look up look up look up. Sherry Thomas is the BOMB. The alternating points-of-view pay off as devastatingly here as they do in Sarah Moss's Signs for Lost Children.

The Cowboy Christmas Glow-Up - Suzy Langevin SHE is a driven makeup executive, HE is is a driven cowboy, THEY are the spares from their exes' cozy Christmas romances, which is a great concept. We are creatures of the polis, beings of brick and stone, and we don't have cute jobs.

How to Find a Princess - Alyssa Cole SHE is a beleaguered people-pleaser, SHE is largely ignorant of the effects she has on others, THEY have sex on a lifeboat. My book club had a really insightful discussion about attachment styles.

My Beautiful Enemy - Sherry Thomas SHE is a spy, HE is a spy, THEY have to fight the Centipede who flies a black flag. Two former gifted kids who go for broke and realize their true potential: I found the sex passionate and the light backstabbing in Uzbekistan to be enormously gratifying. The interpersonal dynamics are intricate and while I would have enjoyed more politics, I can go re-read Wolf Hall on my own time.

Dark Season - Joanna Lowell SHE is, for complicated reasons, obliged to pretend to be psychic, HE must, for complicated reasons, pretend to have killed his ex, THEY nearly have sex al fresco. Ella's management of her epilepsy and Isisdore's total nightmare of any social situation provide them both with the important Gothic motivation to never reveal anything. This banged, the interlude where they recognize the self in the other and nearly have sex in the park was perhaps the highlight, but Lowell has a keen eye for shame and really makes hay of the panopticon of pain and parties.

Undead and Unwed - Mary Janice Davidson SHE is a vampire, HE is a vampire, THEY live in Burnsville. This aged not as well as I might have hoped.

Red Dragon - Thomas Harris My cousin's husband recommended this to me. The best scenes are all of Will Graham, alone with the dead, and passed through with insight that he does not wish to have and cannot reject. The diligence, of how to be a person in the world when the world is vast and uncaring, is as closely-observed as Zola looking up and down the stairs of a Parisian tenement. I did not care for the shift in perspective.

Never Trust a Dead Man - Vivian Vande Velde I established for the nineteenth time that I don't enjoy YA, so I tried a middle grade novel. Sure can do that!

Asterios Polyp - David Mazzucchelli SHE is Penelope, HE is Odysseus, THEY love one another. Hana observed at her mirror is a really masterful splash page. Always a delight to see an artist's wikipedia headshot and see that they're drawing people on the order of what they see in the mirror.

Trumpet - Jackie Kay SHE is a widow, HE is her dead husband, THEY loved one another. The unusually effective formal choice to break the isolation of grief with third-person observations from the doctor, registrar, and so on, breaking out of the forward chronology of the novel, elevated this.

Golden Kamuy vol 17 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry HE is a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War, HE is a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War, HE is a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War, HE is a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War, HE is a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War, HE is a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War, HE is a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War, HE died in the Russo-Japanese War.

Golden Kamuy vol 18 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry SHE looks within herself to find the sustenance of her own truth. Asirpa has taken command of her father's vision in these chapters, and the dialectic is now, consistently, if his plan for the future is one that she will animate.

A Masc for Purim - Roz Alexander SHE is getting back out there and organizing her synagogue's Purim masquerade, SHE broke her heart and shows back up, THEY have sex on a desk.

The Astronaut and the Star - Jen Comfort SHE is driven, unfriendly, and deeply lonely, HE is learning how to be an astronaut from her and keeps fantasizing about her breasts, THEY have sex on a solar panel.

Justice League United vol 1 - Jeff Lemire et al In this one, they're Canadian! I enjoyed an Adam Strange appearance that's not about how he ruins everything for his disastrous love and divided loyalty. LOOKING AT YOU, TOM AND PATRICK.

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake - Aimee Bender The unusual premise -- that lemon cake does taste like sadness -- developed into a much stranger theory of the punishments of self-knowledge: perfect self-awareness is a trap. It's only ever a trap. Schone seele is not a compliment.

Ladder of Years - Anne Tyler SHE is extremely unappreciated by her family and lights out from, yes, Baltimore, to build her own life. One day I will read an Anne Tyler novel under circumstances other than "it's available in ebook, and it's 12:15 am," I only have five or six of them left.

The American Way of Death Revisited - Jessica Mitford I thought I would read some nonfiction. I used to volunteer for a group that started in the wake of this book, so like Mount Fuji, either you're looking at it or you're standing on it.

Ever Faithful - Karen Barnett SHE is getting ready for college, earning a little money housekeeping and teaching Civilian Conservation Corps high school classes at Yellowstone, HE is in the CCC and can't read, THEY don't make that much of this, yet. I have read this twist one hundred times and I will read it again.

The Juniper Tree - Barbara Comyns SHE is a fairytale stepmother; HE is a fairytale father, THEY are basically irrelevant as a duo. Is it true that the better class of fairytale retellings obliterate the narrative to tell a more complicated version of a different story?

A Simple Heart - Gustave Flaubert trans. Charlotte Mandrell Blows the doors off, this translation eddied around the original like a stream over a rocky riverbed, and the locus amoenus of the altar with the parrot looking down is superb.

Golden Kamuy vol 19 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry HE dies. While the series is about coalescing groups of rivals who share a goal, the first two hundred chapters moved the characters into social configurations so that they were broadly in agreement with their comrades. With Kiroranke's death, the various disagreements deepen and darken.

Cold Hand in Mine - Robert Aickman Mostly spooky rather than effective, like a canal-obsessed Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. "The Clock Watcher" was genuinely ugly, and there's some vivid nastiness throughout. Thanks to @mimaveil and @getlouder for the rec, this one dripped with vitriol.

A Dangerous Kind of Lady - Mia Vincy SHE feels thwarted and ignored, HE is responsible for some of that, THEY fix up a fake engagement. Oh are there real feelings involved? Is this gonna be the time that there aren't real feelings involved.

The Body in the Garden - Katherine Schellman SHE solves crime, HE tags along, THEY see a head roll. I wandered around my house objecting that she, a lady of means in Regency England, only has three servants in her house, -- and he has none at all! -- and I got so annoyed by this that I got to thinking about hiring fairs and patterns of modern employment, and then this book ended, more or less without my notice.

The Skin of Dreams - Raymond Queneau trans. Chris Clarke The word-making, in this novel about film-making, is absolutely on target. Really enjoyed the puns.

The Truth about Leo - Katie MacAlister SHE is self-serving, HE is inconsequential, THEY could have but did not have sex in the garden where she finds him without his memory. I did look up the 1807 Bombardment of Copenhagen, which serves as the background to these intensely unsympathetic characters, and thus I learned something about our world.

Loving a Lost Lord - Mary Jo Putney SHE needs a convenient excuse, HE has recently developed amnesia as a result of an industrial accident, THEY learn to love one another. This book set up appealing stakes -- she's a basically honest person who tells a huge lie! he believes he's living a lie by not regularly revealing his inmost self to strangers -- which it then carefully and comprehensively set to smolder until they collapsed.

Golden Kamuy vol 20 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry HE is very handsome.

Golden Kamuy vol 21 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry Asirpa's changing motivations, loyalty to bravery to honor and then back to loyalty, reach a novelistic pitch. The drama hinges on her willingness to do the right thing, and the extent to her understanding changes while her circumstance … also do, but in consistent ways, and so the change she wants really has to be within herself, it cannot be motivated by a useful outcome.

Golden Kamuy vol 22 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry I, shuddering, begin to suspect that Asirpa and Sugimoto's relationship may evolve from "lone wolf and cub."

Golden Kamuy vol 23 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry So too Botaro, so I am instantly relieved, as any time a concern is directly addressed in a work of hundreds of chapters, it is certain it will not be so easily resolved.

When the Sea Came Alive - Garrett Graff Your pal and mine Garrett has a very good ear for the quoteable and the lyrical. Exceptional coverage of pre-invasion, especially Exercise Tiger. I would have liked to read more about Juno.

The Phoenix Bride - Natasha Siegel SHE is grief-struck and not particularly seeking a way out of her depression, HE is too, THEY find a way out together. While I was personally hoping for more mouseskin beauty-marks and dresses so big a woman has to walk sideways when she goes through a door, I understand that the power of love is broadly more interesting. The telescope which enables the menage to go forward is an inspired bit of place-setting.

Bitter Spirits - Jenn Bennett SHE is actually a real psychic who can for-real talk to the dead, HE is a bootlegger who feels guilty about his dead, THEY fuck in a fancy hotel. That's what I like to see in a romance! Novel location & time period as well. I did enjoy, after Dark Season and the classic Unnatural Vice, that psychic abilities are real and true and this averts exactly zero of the forthcoming incidents.

Tycoon - Joanna Shupe SHE is a fix, HE is having problems, THEY have sex on a train, I am under the impression this bit is still funny.

The Crying Sisters - Mabel Seeley SHE gets stuck with his nonsense, HE has rather a lot of it, THEY have no idea how they have endangered themselves. Not as sparkling as The Listening House, but you have to go on vacation somewhere.

Golden Kamuy vol 24 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry They meet Jack the Ripper.

Golden Kamuy vol 25 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry As comics about Jack the Ripper go, I would say that this one addresses the "true" in "true crime" more honestly than the big dog, From Hell. There's no really tasteful coverage of murders so lurid they're effectively tropes for "something cosmically horrible happened here," and to endorse one theory or another about a murderer is only so interesting, and here, at least, it is surrounded by characters standing for other principles.

Golden Kamuy vol 26 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry One of the parts of comics I enjoy most are schematics. Each volume begins with a recap, of course, and it is in these chapters that the specific ordering of who is standing where when becomes extraordinarily significant. Good maps.

Henry Henry - Allan Bratton HE is rich and troubled, HE is his boyfriend, HE is his cousin, HE is his father. Less reactionary St Aubyn, and tender in a diligent and quiet way, ultimately, as Hal simmers down the reactivity and improves (he could hardly get worse.) The most beautiful exchange in this book is Edward's revelation to Hal that, yes Richard was unkind, Henry is pitiable, and you cannot allow the dead to control you. Otherwise hot and mean. I enjoyed it hugely, vg.

Silence in the Library - Katharine Schellman SHE is a wealthy amateur detective; for a moment I thought HE was going to be a new character, the handsomest veteran of the late wars, instead HE is the same love interest from the previous book, a regular-handsome veteran of the late wars. Creepier about vulnerability than the first book in the series; the solution to the mystery is not well hidden, and like Richard Austin Freeman, the mechanics of how to talk to withholding witnesses and build usable evidence draw you on.

The Silence of the Lambs - Thomas Harris This was published in August 1988 and James Ellroy’s The Big Nowhere came out the next month, so due to the forward chronology of time, neither of these guys read the other guy’s book and thought: this would be great if Poor Doomed Danny Upshaw had a GAL PAL//man that wolverine was boss I wonder if it could retire and do word-finds. If you were not a particularly fast reader you could have spent all fall of '88 reading about the horrors of misogyny.

Fugitive Harbor - Cassie Miles SHE is a historian-architect-lighthouse keeper’s house restorer who is oppressed by small town mistrust and disfavor, HE stands wrongly accused of the death of his business partner, THEY go on a date to the total firetrap lighthouse and get to second base by the flaming light of the setting sun. 3/3 amnesia books, he doesn’t really even HAVE amnesia. In conclusion, a beloved fanfiction trope best left to fanfiction.

Hither Page - Cat Sebastian HE is a spy who is tiring without knowing of the skulking life yet does not have the capacity to explain that this is all he is and all he has ever seen for him, HE is a country doctor who agrees to help solve a murder due to what he believes is a personal weakness, THEY have a surprisingly warm and inventive discussion of their scars when they strip down. There is absolutely no ground for my fan theory that Leo is a secret German yet I cherish it.

The Missing Page - Cat Sebastian HE is still a spy who has less taste for the work than George Smiley ever did, HE is called for a reading of his grandfather’s will, THEY have to solve the question presented. Again zero evidence for, mounting evidence against my fan theory that Leo was born in Germany, sure, what am I some type of pushover.

Death at the Manor - Katharine Schellman SHE is investigating a suspicious death at a haunted house, HE is the new guy, THEY have a very-poorly concealed affair. The Gothic trimmings (hidden staircases, secret bequests) make this more successful than the previous entries in the series.

The Witness for the Dead - Katherine Addison HE is a beleaguered psychic facing severe interpersonal setbacks and suffering from the belief that he deserves the opprobrium he’s received, HE is a composer-librettist-manager whose opera company is just riven through by secrets, THEY provide solace to one another in a time of great trial. The ghosts (real live ghosts) are blinkered and frustrating, so too the clients: the interpretation of “what if Philip Marlowe got so low” is not altogether that dissimilar from anything Raymond Chandler wrote.

Green for Danger - Christianna Brand Like walking a French formal garden where the hedges are built of the introduction to the suspects, a premise embedded with clues, and interesting information about a world that vanished slightly later in the year this was published. I found this cute picture of a dog while I was looking up medical organization in the British Army.

The Kobayashi Maru - Julia Ecklar A choice framing device — Kirk, McCoy, Sulu, Chekov, and Scotty are all about to die in the silence of space, so they talk through their apparent failures in the no-win situation— for extensive backstory. Chekov’s FPS approach to command is an early work of video game thought, and Sulu’s solution to the titular problem has compelling thematic resonance as he grieves his great-grandfather’s death.

The Strangler Vine - MJ Carter Alex Wyndham read the audiobook and I got through two chapters before bagging that and reading it, but the part of this book which I most enjoyed was how he might be reading it to me. Bro kills at audiobooks, I’m sorry he hasn’t been on tv since HBO’s Rome, he kills at audiobooks.

Shutter - Ramona Emerson I’ll never grow weary of the device that while an investigator (in this, a crime scene photographer) can talk to the dead, the dead are not very reliable tellers of their own, or anyone’s, truths. In this, Rita has even less institutional support than Celehar in Witness for the Dead, and perseveres doggedly, even getting shot at one point and faking her death. I thought the reveal of the evil plan was less interesting than it could be so, in a partially-supported conclusion: she heard it from the dead. hey that guy could be dead.

Solomon’s Crown - Natasha Siegel HE is King of France, HE is Duke of Aquitaine, THEY never do have sex al fresco or in front of all of the mirrors at Poitiers, nevertheless I enjoyed this prequel to some of the events of The Lion in Winter. Anthony Hopkins Week, week three. Anthony Hopkins Month.

Death of Jezebel - Christianna Brand Almost pure form, except for the part I found most interesting. The romantic entanglements and double-crosses are very much enlivened by the participation of refugees from what is now Malaysia: many of the Crime Classics feature detective who served in France, very few are about the closed world of civilians who lived in the suddenly-former colonies. What if The Honorable Schoolboy had solved the crime instead of being about everything else in the world.

The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen - KJ Charles HE is suddenly elevated to baronet and in figuring out what he wants to do with all his days lights upon continuing his father’s studies in nature, HE is the head of the smugglers around these parts and has to determine what he wants for himself, THEY have sex on a rotten log. Real return to form for Kimberly Jennifer, I enjoyed this much more having read the sequel and seen where many of the suggestions here develop into full-blown notions in the next book.

Golden Kamuy vol 27 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry Oh THATS the Golden Kamuy??

Golden Kamuy vol 28 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry Glad that Sugimoto was always like this. You wonder, in a story about colonialism, if the main character who had to get there on a boat, is recapitulating a desire for an undiminished world where he’s a moral arbiter. No he’s always been like this.

Golden Kamuy vol 29 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry Star forts forever

Golden Kamuy vol 30 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry No wait. COMBINED ARMS FOREVER.

Golden Kamuy vol 31 - Satoru Noda trans. John Werry Consistently the best part of this series have been the splash pages of scenery. I have loved marveling upon them. A great recommendation by @tautline-hitch thank you!

All the White Spaces - Ally Wilkes What if RF Scott had command of the Elephant Island boats, and also grief was a monster that wanted to kill kill kill. Do you think Roland Huntford has watched The Terror.

[foreveroutoftime]

the liar with pretty hands

Nostalgia knocks on my door,

lipsticked and lovely,

pressing Polaroids into my palms,

polished brighter than you ever were.

she blurs the fights out,

paints your voice softer,

your leaving kinder,

your eyes still looking for me.

Nostalgia hands me your brightest smile,

dressed in red and blue and ruin,

and it whispers:

“look how beautiful it was,

even as it killed you.”

so i bite down on the memory.

savoring sweetness and all of the tanginess

that never lived outside of my skull,

while the truth slumbers,

heavy and ugly,

all beneath my ribs.

and i catch myself peeling the time back like skin,

finding you fossilized between my ribs.

your name and touch still written there,

burned into the marrow.

then she walks closer to me slowly,

my heartache keeps growing,

as i know it Nostalgia sews you into my organs delicately,

sutures your sighs into the soft parts,

threads your laughter through arteries.

she keeps whispering right beside my ears to sell your smile, like a souvenir,

handmade lies perfectly curated in ribbon,

marked authentic and unique.

“all special.

and yours only.

this is the best offer that you'll ever get,

then why resist?”

however, Nostalgia acts kinder than you,

you were trying to hold the heart that can't be stored,

pressing it too hard, too rough,

as if i'm a moth pinned to glass.

and every step you took closer,

was a knife slipping between my weakened bones,

a surgeon with no oath, no mercy.

but Nostalgia is a beautiful, convincing liar.

i let myself lay open and let every sweet fiction you left behind spilling,

gutting the fairy tale with trembling hands.

yet, the truth is,

there is no cure for a wound you begged to keep.

there is no resurrection for a boy who was already halfway gone.

there's only Nostalgia left behind, and she carves you prettier than you ever were,

tucks the broken parts under velvet,

and tells me,

“it was real.”

and i almost believe it.

Random Thought

You know what would be cool? You have a sci-fi setting where these alien archeologists are doing a dig on a post-human earth and have found these big fossilized bones and, using authentic archeology techniques to figure out what the creature would have looked like. The aliens share theories that maybe these creatures are why there are no more humans? Did they even live at the same time? One person suggests that humans kept these beasts as pets and is laughed out of the room. This strange creature is shown in museums about earth along side dinosaurs and mummified human remains. it is one of the apex predators of Earth during the end of Human Civilizations. It came it many different sizes and lived in most of the different landmasses on the planet. It is legitimately a terrifying creature.

Then at the very end of the book/movie the audience finds on the creature is in fact a dog. It is a dog. There's been a live one there the whole time, hovering outside the dig site and skirting the edge of the alien camps. It's a bit different from what we know, evolved to survive in the world humanity left behind, but it is still recognizably a dog. Just like Birds and Dinos. The alien monstrosity everyone has been trying to figure out for the whole film/book is just a dog, not enough mass and the fur not quite right and color out of the norm because its appearance was theorized by those who did not know what a dog was when humanity existed and so could not recognize its descendants.

[ocean-of-junk]

That's also because the AGE DEMOGRAPHIC that are becoming young adults/new to fight were babies/asleep or non existant at that point in time.

Not everyone is a willing dumbass sealioning. Instead of blaming people for not knowing, TEACH/MENTOR.

That's how we get people up to speed. Literally tell them to look up information if they don't believe you.

Go forth and irl click bait 🪤 people into learning, you'll annoy the sealions and actually teach those that want to learn

A huge thing you gotta keep in mind is that almost all of these people have been surrounded by garbage information for the last ten years or more, and they don't know how to verify the authenticity of information.

And the answer is usually wikipedia. Because have you ever tried telling a nerd that they are wrong?

This is why I like dinosaurs and fossils because they serve as a vehicle to educate/refresh people with the scientific process.

And how we went from finding just bones for really long time, because people were literally just looking for bones and not a delicate skin impression, which was unimaginable for the general public until like 2015.

Go look up that Ankylosaurus they found in Canada, it's like 75% intact, you can even tell the organs apart and what color it was because of some chemistry in the rocks or something.

Anyway here's a thing:

I have more than one person in the notes of my post saying they did not in fact know that the ACA stopped insurance companies from being able to deny coverage for a pre-existing condition in case you were wondering where we're at. People don't know the ACA and Obamacare are the same thing, they don't know it's why they have healthcare, they don't even know what it does. How do you even deal with that?

Beyond the Band: How Ashes, Dinosaur Bones & Personal Tokens Are Redefining Keepsake Rings

Introduction

Jewellery has always been more than mere adornment; it tells stories, captures memories, and symbolises emotions. In today’s world, custom and keepsake rings have surged in popularity, offering a deeply personal way to honour life's most meaningful moments. Whether it’s preserving a loved one's memory, marking a milestone, or simply showcasing unique tastes, custom rings provide an unparalleled level of emotional connection.

This guide explores the fascinating world of keepsake rings, ash rings, dinosaur bone rings, custom made rings, whiskey barrel rings, fingerprint rings, fossil rings, engraved rings, and engagement cork rings. We delve into the craftsmanship, significance, and options available for those seeking something extraordinary.

1. Understanding Keepsake and Memorial Rings

What Are Keepsake Rings?

Keepsake rings are designed to hold a sentimental element, such as a lock of hair, ashes, or even fabric from a loved one's clothing. Memorial rings, similarly, honour the memory of someone special or a significant life event.

Emotional Significance

Tangible Memories: These rings provide comfort by keeping a part of someone close.

Heirloom Value: Often passed down through generations, they carry deep-rooted family significance.

Popular Materials and Designs

Sterling silver, gold, or platinum bases

Incorporation of glass or resin to encase keepsake elements

Minimalist or intricate filigree designs

2. Exploring Ash Rings: A Tribute to Loved Ones

What Are Ash Rings?

Ash rings securely encase a small amount of cremated ashes within the band or a specially designed bezel. They allow wearers to physically carry a piece of their loved ones wherever they go.

Design Variations

Classic Bands: Ashes are mixed with resin and set into a simple, elegant band.

Gemstone Settings: Ashes can be transformed into sparkling gemstones.

Custom Inlays: Ashes embedded alongside other materials like wood or opal.

Choosing an Ash Ring

Durability: Opt for tough materials like titanium or tungsten.

Customisation: Choose colours and settings that reflect the personality of the loved one.

Security: Ensure the ashes are permanently sealed to prevent loss.

3. Dinosaur Bone and Fossil Rings: Wearing Ancient History

Introduction to Fossil Rings

Fossil rings are crafted using authentic ancient materials, such as dinosaur bones or prehistoric plant matter. Each piece offers a tangible link to Earth's distant past.

Types of Fossils Used

Dinosaur Bones: Often stabilised and dyed to enhance natural patterns.

Ammonites and Petrified Wood: Alternative fossil options for unique textures.

Design and Craftsmanship

Fossils are cut, shaped, and inlaid into a metal band.

Popular pairings include titanium and Damascus steel for strength and visual contrast.

Case Study: A Dinosaur Bone Ring

A recent bespoke commission featured a titanium band inlaid with red dinosaur bone fragments, symbolising the wearer's love of natural history and individuality. The result was a durable, striking, and conversation-starting piece.

4. Custom Design and Made-to-Order Rings

Benefits of Customisation

Uniqueness: No two custom rings are alike.

Emotional Value: Designs are often imbued with personal stories.

Material Control: Choose ethically sourced materials and unique combinations.

Process Overview

Consultation: Discuss design ideas and inspiration.

Sketching: Artists create detailed renderings.

Creation: Jewellers handcraft the piece using selected materials.

Choosing the Right Jeweller

Look for certified artisans with strong portfolios.

Read client testimonials to gauge trustworthiness.

In 1912, an amateur archeologist named Charles Dawson claimed that he had discovered the "missing link" between apes and humans, presenting a reconstructed skull as his proof. He claimed that a workman at a gravel pit in Piltdown had given him the pieces.

Arthur Smith Woodward, of the National History Museum, hypothesized that the skull belonged to a human ancestor from 500,000 years ago. This discovery was announced at a Geological Society meeting. The find was given the Latin name Eoanthropus dawsoni ("Dawson's dawn-man"), and became known colloquially as Piltdown Man, after its location.

Nearly as soon as it was announced, some scientists expressed their doubts as to its authenticity. Gerrit Smith Miller, Jr., for example, said in 1915 that "deliberate malice could hardly have been more successful than the hazards of deposition in so breaking the fossils as to give free scope to individual judgment in fitting the parts together." As the decades passed, more and more scientists noted that Piltdown Man was inconsistent with the path of hominid evolution as demonstrated by fossils found elsewhere in the world. Nevertheless, the discovery was hailed, and a marker was erected at the site of the claimed discovery.

Finally, in 1953, 41 years after it was announced, Piltdown Man was proven to be a forgery. The supposed fossil was shown to be assembled from a human skull of medieval age, the jaw of an orangutan, and the teeth of a chimpanzee. The bones were made to appear older by staining them with an iron solution and chromic acid. Further, examination under a microscope showed that the teeth had been filed down to appear more human-like.

The Piltdown Man hoax succeeded for so long because, at the time of its discovery, scientists believed that the development of the large modern brain preceded changes in the human diet, and the find was consistent with that hypothesis. Stephen Jay Gould argued that nationalism and cultural prejudice also played a role, as it seemed to place the earliest humans in Eurasia and the British Isles, rather than in Africa.

The identity of the forger is not authoritatively known; however, as other archeological hoaxes of the time have been traced to Dawson, he is the prime suspect. Others have suggested that Dawson may have had a collaborator, with some pointing to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as a possibility. Conan Doyle is said to have been involved because of his resentment that the scientific community mocked his belief in spiritualism; further, they point to a passage in his novel, The Lost World, where he alleged that creating phony fossils was no more impossible than forging a signature.

In recent decades, it has become fashionable for evangelical Christians to point to the Piltdown Man hoax as proof that science cannot be trusted to trace the origins of human life, and thus point to the Bible as a superior explanation. There is just one small problem with this argument: Since no one associated with Piltdown Man had ever admitted to any chicanery, 100% of the evidence against Piltdown Man comes from science; thus, if science cannot be trusted, then Piltdown Man must be true.

Odds and Ends:

PEKING MAN

In December 1929, twenty-five miles away from Peking, China, archaeologist Pei Wen-zhong was lowered by rope into a dark, newly excavated chasm at Dragon Bone Hill. Feeble candlelight flickered on the walls as his eyes fell on an astounding discovery: a human skull. It was the first of a collection of 500,000-year-old bones from nearly forty people, men and women. Dubbed "Peking Man, the collection provided a missing link in human evolution from the time when man first began to use fire. Becoming an international sensation, the fossils were taken to the Peking Union Medical College to be studied.

During the 1930s, artifacts from Dragon Bone Hill continued to be unearthed and exhibited. When the Japanese invaded China during World War II, Peking Man was shipped to the United States for safekeeping. Tucked into two custom-built steamer trunks, the bones were added to the luggage of an American medical officer who was going by train to the port city of Chinwangtao. The bones were to be offloaded at a small U.S. Marine camp on the outskirts of the city and then transferred to the American steamship SS President Harrison. Unfortunately the train was intercepted by Japanese soldiers, who ransacked the cargo and captured the marines. The fossils disappeared. Some people suspect the bones were accidentally trampled and destroyed, while others think the collection was smuggled out of the country by a U.S. serviceman.

An international businessman, Christopher Janus, became obsessed with finding the missing Peking Man. A reward of $100,000 was offered by Janus for information leading to their recovery. One of his many leads involved an unidentified woman who insisted that he meet with her at the top of the Empire State Building. The mysterious female gave him a picture of the collection and told him she would turn over the actual bones for a sum of $500,000. Although the photo was authenticated, the woman disappeared before the exchange could be made.

More Wrong Things

In the realm of Cyber aesthetics, certain visual motifs such as chaotic arrays of monitors, tangled cables, and malfunctioning displays have become prevalent. These elements often convey a sense of technological disarray and dystopian fragmentation. Recently, Carolee Schneemann’s exhibition "More Wrong" has provided a fresh perspective on these themes, offering valuable insights into how such aesthetics can be utilized to comment on contemporary societal issues.

1.Carolee Schneemann’s "More Wrong": A Cutting-Edge Approach Schneemann’s "More Wrong" stands at the cutting edge of Cyber art by integrating traditional artistic inspiration with modern technological commentary. The installation features a sprawling web of 500 feet of wires and 17 monitors, showcasing a loop of disaster footage from various global crises. Schneemann’s innovative use of space—drawing inspiration from fossilized dinosaur bones—transforms the exhibition into a powerful commentary on technological and societal collapse.

Understanding Schneemann’s approach to integrating physical space with thematic content is crucial for my own concept design work. Her method of employing tangled cables and multiple screens to create an overwhelming sensory experience can inform my design process, especially in developing virtual environments and multimedia installations. By analyzing how she combines traditional artistic elements with modern technology, I can explore new ways to convey complex narratives through immersive and interactive designs.

2.The Power of Historical and Cultural References Schneemann’s use of disaster footage from diverse cultural contexts demonstrates the significance of embedding historical and cultural references into art. This technique not only adds authenticity but also fosters a deeper emotional engagement with the audience. The installation’s blend of real-world crises and technological imagery underscores the importance of historical context in creating impactful art.

Incorporating historical and cultural references into my concept designs can enrich the narrative depth and resonance of my projects. By integrating meaningful elements that reflect real-world contexts, I can enhance the emotional and intellectual impact of my designs. This approach is especially relevant in areas such as multimedia installations, graphic design, and video game environments, where cultural and historical depth can create more engaging and thought-provoking experiences.

3.Innovative Uses of Space and Structure The physical arrangement in "More Wrong"—with its chaotic displays and extensive wiring—illustrates an avant-garde use of space and structure. This approach challenges conventional spatial design by creating a dynamic and interactive environment that reflects the installation’s thematic concerns about technological overload and societal fragmentation.

Exploring unconventional uses of space and structure in my designs can lead to more innovative and engaging outcomes. By experimenting with dynamic and interactive spatial arrangements, I can enhance the immersion and impact of my projects. This is particularly relevant in designing virtual environments.

4.Layering Elements and Narratives Schneemann’s ability to layer multiple elements and narratives within "More Wrong" exemplifies a sophisticated approach to storytelling. The installation’s integration of diverse video content and physical structures creates a multi-dimensional experience that prompts viewers to reflect on the intersections of technology, history, and human experience.

By blending visual, auditory, and interactive components, resonate with audiences on multiple levels. This technique is valuable in fields such as multimedia art, game design, and interactive installations.

Carolee Schneemann’s "More Wrong" represents a significant advancement in Cyber aesthetics, merging traditional artistic methods with contemporary technological commentary. Her innovative use of space, historical references, and layered narratives provides valuable insights for concept designers. By understanding and applying these cutting-edge approaches, I can enhance the depth, engagement, and impact of my own designs, contributing to the evolving field of concept art and design.

Archeologists staggered by  verity behind 280- million- time-old  reactionary  A 280-million-time-old Fossil: 

Examination of the beast, named Tridentinosaurus antiques, has uncovered the material that was believed to be veritably important defended, the old delicate towel is, as a matter of fact, simply dark paint. The reptile-like critter, around 20 cm( 8in) long, was set up in the Italian mounts in 1931 and was accepted to be a significant finding that could be useful to reveal sapience into how reptiles developed.   With its body frame acting dull on the encompassing gravestone, the reptile's noteworthy protection was lately credited to fossilization commerce known as carbonization, which is kind.

normal among factory exemplifications still intriguing among brutes.  This drove the Tridentinosaurus to be delegated an individual from the reptile bunch known as Protorosauria and its inferred fossilized skin, albeit noway concentrated on completely, acquired unmistakable quality in news stories and books.  

Notwithstanding, the abnormal highlights of the reactionary left multitudinous scientists pondering where the reptile should have been and how it could be so veritably important shielded.   A group of specialists in Ireland and Italy examined the reactionary exercising UV photography, which uncovered a covering material on the illustration.   The specialists said that covering funds with stains or enamels was veritably normal in history as a manner to guard the specimen.

So the group was trusting that underneath the covering subcaste, unique delicate napkins would be available and would be looking great.   In any case, a bitsy examination also uncovered the face and structure of the material did not match that of veritable delicate towel funds.   The specialists said their discoveries uncovered the body frame of the Tridentinosaurus was falsely made with dark makeup, covered on the cut reptile formed.  gemstone surface. Based on their discoveries, distributed in the journal Fossil Wisdom, the scientists are encouraging awareness about the reactionary and the way effects are employed in unborn disquisition.   

schoolteacher Evelyn Kustatscher, a palaeobotanist at the Innate Science Exhibition hall of South Tyrol in Italy, said" The insolvable to miss safekeeping of Tridentinosaurus had confused specialists for quite a long time.  " Presently, everything seems OK.  " What was depicted as carbonized skin is simply  makeup." Dr. Valentina Rossi, of College School Plug's School of Organic, Earth and Ecological lores in Ireland, added" Fossil delicate napkins are uncommon,  still when set up in a  reactionary they can uncover significant natural data, for illustration, the outside coloration, inward life systems, and physiology.  " The response to every one of our inquiries was directly before us, we  demanded to concentrate on this  reactionary  illustration completely to uncover its bigwig data indeed those that  perhaps we'd have rather not known."

In any case, the specialists expressed that in malignancy of the mischance, the reactionary is surely not a total reproduction.   The bones of the hindlimbs and the femurs give off a print of being authentic yet ineffectively defended, they said.   The Autonomous is the world's most free-thinking news brand, giving worldwide news, tract, and disquisition for the autonomously disapproved. 

We've grown a colossal, worldwide readership of freely disapproved of people, who regard our commended in voice and obligation to positive change. Our main thing, getting change going, has noway been still significant as it could be a moment.
