For today‘s #FossilFriday, we celebrate the start of our collaboration @naturmusee with Urweltmuseum Geoskop during their excavation in the latest Carboniferous of Rhineland-Palatinate. Never seen so many myriapod fossils before!
For today‘s #FossilFriday, meet our two new rock stars from the Cretaceous of Japan, starfish Coulonia hokahira and brittle star Ophiozonella tumidasquama. Happy to have contributed to this exciting study available at doi.org/10.2517/PR220020 @naturmusee
Special #FossilFriday treat: remember the Jurassic vampire squids we discovered in SW-Luxembourg during our #LostOceanDigging one year ago? Their fossil ink was used for a stunning piece of art by Natalia Slioutova-Hansen, currently on display @naturmusee
Revisited the Transition Now exhibition at #ellergronn during the pleasant event “En Daag an der Natur”. Happy to have contributed to this inspiring exhibition. The basement features @naturmusée fossils from the Minette area and an ichthyosaur carcass in an extraordinary setting.
Rainbow geology in the Triassic of #Luxembourg. Currently prospecting terrestrial to brackish deposits, looking for tetrapod remains. @naturmusee
FossilFriday @naturmusee Looks like freshly washed on the beach: fantastic fossils of a new brittle-star species from the Pliocene of Japan. Grateful to have been able to contribute to this exciting study doi.org/10.2517/PR220028 #FossilFriday #brittlestars

🔵Un equipo de científicos y científicas del CONICET halló en la cuenca neuquina un fósil articulado de una estrella frágil que vivió en los mares sudamericanos hace unos 193 millones de años.

After 183 Million years in the underground, the ink of an extinct squid excavated during our #LostOceanDigging in SW-Luxembourg was transformed into a first piece of art. More to come! @naturmusee instagram.com/p/Co2-Nghtmn4/…
Beyond excited that our brittle-star photo made it on the cover of Geology! Check out our paper on early clade evolution in the Paleozoic deep sea: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa…

Happy and proud to have contributed to a study on brittle-star microfossils from a drill core from Chiba, Japan, in collaboration with pupils of the „Gunma Prefectural Ota Girls‘ High School Earth Science Research Club“. #WomenInScience #STEMeducation @naturmusee
Remember our #LostOceanDigging in Bascharage, #Luxembourg, earlier this year? Some of the fish fossils just returned from preparation @naturmusee. Enjoy those Jurassic fishy faces!
One of the two new species of #fossil elcanid grasshoppers from the Lower Jurassic of Luxembourg just published in Kentiana with Sam W. Heads and Jacob Tamarri from @UofIllinois, and the moment of discovery by the namesake person at the Sanem prison construction site @naturmusee
Fossil bonanza in Lower Devonian freshwater deposits: sea scorpions, armoured fish, plenty of early land plants, and most importantly: fantastic field work with great people! @naturmusee
Today we started a 4-day excavation in the Lower Devonian of northern Luxembourg. Cross your fingers for sea scorpion, jawless fish and terrestrial arthropod fossils! @naturmusee
