As similar as some trilobites may appear to modern-day animals—most notably, isopods & horseshoe crabs—such similarities are only shell-deep. Trilobites like this 400 mil-yr-old Dicranurus have no direct living relatives. #TrilobiteTuesday
black trilobite fossil in a sand-colored stone. It has a ribbed texture on its back and seems to have ten tentacle-like appendages (five on each side).

Happy #NationalDogDay! Dogs evolved from a shared ancestor w/ wolves ~10,000 yrs ago. Some research suggests dogs can read human facial expressions & intonation, display empathy, & communicate jealousy—& may understand our gestures better than close human relatives, chimpanzees.

August is #NationalWaterQualityMonth. #DYK the U.S. Forest Service manages the largest single source of water in the United States, with about 18 percent of the nation’s surface water supplies in the lower 48 states originating on National Forest System land?

You probably know Pi Day is 3/14. Well, today is 6/28, or Tau Day, and it deserves to be a holiday we all celebrate — because "pi is wrong." ow.ly/t9CM50uP4YI
Forget Pi Day. We should be celebrating Tau Day

Forget Pi Day. We should be celebrating Tau Day

Pi Day may be fun, but it’s based on a flawed mathematical constant.
