IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO BUY AVATAR STOCK
This world is much deeper than you imagine. Watch the brand-new trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash and experience it in theatres December 19th. Also, don’t miss Avatar: The Way of Water back on the big screen in 3D for one week only, starting October 3rd.

Ben Bartlett's Walking with Dinosaurs (& Beasts) score really is so special. I know it hits a lotta paleo nerds from nostalgia, but it's also just musically stellar. I don't think any composer has ever truly captured the beauty and brutality of the prehistoric world like he did.

Found this dinky little animation I made years ago emphasizing the take-off of bioturbation (here shown by burrowing) at the Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary. Versus microbial mats atop the sediment.

No comment on #WeaponsMovie, but the words Odontoceti (spelled wrong as "Odontceti") and Mysticeti appear in the movie.

I saw the Avatar Fire and Ash trailer a few days ago and I can't believe I'm expected to do my academic work after that

@Formorphology Have seen this fossil up close during my PhD - the holotype of Carcharodon hubbelli. Genuinely one of the most incredible fossils I’ve ever looked at 🦈

My high spec work gaming desktop legitimately handles Blender and OpenFOAM better than it handles Adobe Illustrator
