You like fossil pokemon? That's really cool, I like fossil pokemon too, though I don't own any since there aren't really any in alola.

My name is Shock, btw. it's nice to meet you

- Shock ( @zap-the-raichu-hero )

Nice to meet you too! If you want to know why Alola has no fossils, it's because it's a series of relatively recent volcanic islands! Most of the fossils there are mundane birds! My personal favorite one of these mundane birds is Talpanas, a fully terrestrial type of duck that was most likely blind, and also most likely had a similar niche to the modern kiwi!

🦴This Fossil Friday, sail into the weekend with Edaphosaurus, a sail-backed herbivore that lived some 280 million years ago during the Permian Period. While Edaphosaurus may resemble a big lizard, it wasn’t a reptile: It’s actually more closely related to mammals! The key feature that tells us about this relationship? The synapsid openings behind each of Edaphosaurus’ eye sockets—a trait found in all mammals but absent in reptiles. This archival photo is from the Museum’s collections!

BONE WORMS! 🦴🪱

Sorry for not posting in a while, things have been busy so I offer this post as atonement. Today I share with you a genus of polychaetes that I think is neat, the humble Osedax, AKA bone worms

If you like whalefalls then you’ve probably heard of these little freaks. These worms have adapted to the unique lifestyle of feeding on sunken vertebrate bones and absolutely thrive at whalefalls. Though most associated with whales, they are not picky and will feed on any type of bone. Amazingly, fossil evidence of their activity has been found from the Cretaceous on the bones of marine reptiles like mosasaurs, millions of years before whales even evolved!

You might think they’re feeding on the marrow or fats within the bone, but they actually feed on the collagen. To understand how they do this, we’ll need to pull one out of the bone and see what lies beneath…

what the hell is that?? This is the worm’s ‘root’, a unique structure that bores into the bone by secreting enzymes and acid that break down the bone’s matrix. The root is also home to endosymbiosic chemoorganotrophic bacteria. This is just a fancy way of saying symbiotic bacteria living in their tissue that feed on organic compounds. These bacteria metabolise the collagen into useful compounds for their worm host.

What’s even weirder is that only the female worms look like this. The males are microscopic and live within the female’s trunk. Over time, a female can amass a harem of multiple malewives. This dimorphism likely evolved due to it being rather difficult to find a mate on the ocean floor when you’re a sessile worm stuck to a bone. With a constant supply of sperm, the female can release hundreds of eggs into the water that hatch into free-swimming larvae which spread out and find new bones to colonise.

I’ll stop rambling there but I hope you guys find these things as interesting as I do :) I had to write a 2k essay on these things so if anyone has any questions about them feel free to ask 🪱🦴
