AAH this is such a hard question haha

Thanks so much for asking @insectsinthestars ! I felt like this required some photos!

I truly do not think I have a favorite, I tried to pick one but I could not. I love them all so much. Here are a few that mean the most to me though!

This blob of Bryozoans! This one is special to me because it is a chunk of just pure Bryozoans, it is actually super light and REALLY delicate. Every time I set it down, it sheds some particles. The fact that this survived the elements for potentially hundreds of millions of years makes my heart tighten up.

These are also the largest branches I have found, by far! (Bryozoa are tiny tiny animals that live in colonies, similar to coral)

Of course, I have to include my ONE trilobite haha. Yeah, that was a good day. I kinda love that it is just his little booty, hehe. Maybe one day I will work up the courage to attempt to chisel the rest of it out, I just reallllly do not wanna damage it. But yea.. man, do i cherish it

And I would honestly feel bad not including any Brachiopods, since they make up 80% of my fossils. But again, I really can’t choose a favorite:( I have a lot and I love them all. So these one’s are from the very beginning of my fossil hunting days (2019) and I can still remember finding them and crying in the woods :’)

distant past

#pokemon #archen #fan art #id in alt text #the last of my trackpad poke series! we're still in 2023.#i would love to do more but i'm afraid drawing on the trackpad is probably at least slightly more intensive on the hand than not #this was a very fun photo study to do #actually if you go look at the fossil pokemon page on bulbapedia..it has official art of some fossil pokemon and their irl counterparts #its adorable 😭top 10 pkmn art for me #anyways archeopteryx has been a longtime favorite dino.. id like to draw it again

My students are never as impressed as I am when I show them my Necrolemur fossil but like that's your grandma! Those are primate teeth! From before primates were really a thing!

Surely y'all can appreciate your grandma, right??

Psittacosaurus

#paleoart #dinosaurs #donation rq #the slight brighter colors underneath the tail are because this is the only dinosaur whos actual ass got fossilized #it preserved some sort of color (probably dark) but ive chosen to make it blue #in honor of a person i follow on twitter who gets really angry when dinosaurs in movies have any color besides dust brown ❤️#my art

PnF Spirit Week 1: May 27th - Pets

You never really forget your first ever pet. Especially if they disappear quite abruptly from your life.

#pnf #phineas and ferb #pnfspiritweek #candace flynn #perry the platypus #bucky #bucky the dog??? rip bucky #very self indulgent entry to spirit week because it contains my favorite rare (?) headcanons:#a) Bucky was more of Candace's dog because both Phineas and Ferb were VERY small at the time. so she took his loss hardest #and thats why she is so reluctant and against a new pet aka perry when they first got him #b) Bucky was an ex OWCA agent that perished in battle with his nemesis Old Man Simmons hence their very fossilized remains in museum #c) bucky and perry were acquainted during Perry's training (maybe even some mentoring??) so perry understands that feeling of loss #d) bonus HC Bucky was named after Bucky Barnes because of his one sleeved coloring and Candace named him with her Bio dad from whom she #got her love of superhero comics. while her ultimate fav is thor bucky is second fav #all my fellow candace fans know where most of those headcanons come from for sure for sure xDD we all read the fics hehehe

So apparently it is ‘Fossil Friday’:) I like this term!

I cracked open that one from my last post and was rewarded with my favorite genus of Brachiopod, ✨ Leptaena ✨!! so beautiful..

Also I cracked open this mush

I managed to weasel this lady out!!

I am honestly not too sure what I am looking at in the 2nd photo, I am 93% sure this is half of a Brachiopod, so I am guessing those are the innards, so I am also guessing that that circle is the pedical, maybe? It is just so large?. I have never found one with the inside visible like this. And I just can not find any references I need .. anybody know?

Also another Leptaena was also in there

And an adorable Bryozoan sheet that makes me crave honey:)

And here is a better photo of the chisel project I was working on the other day! I am a little stuck on this one, I really do not want to damage the Crinoid, it seems so fragile..
