HAH I FINISHED IT. Will have to get Real Pictures outside when the sun returns. I learned I need to use more strongly textured glass at that scale but overall this has been my smoothest sailing stained glass yet. Straight edges help a lot.

anyway just because I saw a different permutation of this meme I have to share literally my favourite version of it:
Tumblr media
It's just so perfect. The amount of blackout text. The fact it works without additions. The succinctness of the phrase. The palaeontology basis. The way it implies that tetrapods only left the water and evolved in 1562.

I read the phrase “transitioned onto land” for about the thousandth time the other day, but this time I noticed an opportunity!

I have an intense desire to be able to play a game where I can run around terrorizing small creatures as the world's worst goose.

Tyrannosaurid foot claw
It's always satisfying to prepare a fossil you found and excavated. Jack's Bonebed, Judith River formation near Havre, MT. 2022 field season.

A dinosaur tooth of an indeterminate spinosaurid, likely Suchomimus tenerensis from the Elrhaz Formation in Gadoufaoua, Niger. While it is likely Suchomimus, it lacks fluting typically seen in baryonychine teeth. Depending on the phylogenetic position of the dubious Cristatusaurus lapparenti, it may also potentially belong to this lesser known species. It is also possible it belongs to an undescribed spinosaurine.

Remember my knife wielding sketchbook birds? Well they've gotten a fine slap of color and are now available as a sticker sheet, individual stickers, & shirts over on Redbubble!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you buy the sticker sheet be sure to pick the MEDIUM size so the kiss cuts are far enough apart. Medium size sticker sheet makes for 8 bird stickers about 2" on the long side apiece; the large is roughly 8x3" stickers and so on. You can also get them individually or on a shirt if you like! Redbubble is my current solution for merch as A) I cannot afford to guess what's popular and B) cannot store the sheer variety of things that RB can make. Thankfully I've bought from them many times both my art and other artists and the quality is VERY nice. ALWAYS check the internet for RB coupons too; they do 20-30% off regularly. Here's one for 20% that works as of this tumblr post: 20ForYou-0223LW

lepidodendron fossils (root impressions,, the holes are vertical roots and the long shallow textured trough is a horizontal root)
There are lots of lycopods nearby, many herbariums have lycopod samples that go back centuries, with DNA that can be used in next gen sequencing …
I like to think the lycopods and the fossils are sitting there together like when you go to a graveyard and wonder if anyone there is a distant distant ancestor of yours

Basalt of an old volcano chamber and the conduit extending out of it. Similar to columnar basalt hexagon time but radial due to the round chamber !
Rough timeline:
Volcano is probably Devonian, most igneous rock here is,
Equatorial swamp in Carboniferous -> lepidodendron and extensive coal veins. Cool sedimentary rock too, with visible effects of tidal deposition,
From then on drift to higher latitudes. And other new places.
