Fossilized gill soft tissues in Mesozoic freshwater unionoid bivalves. 🦪

Awesome science on fossilized gut contents and the skin of sauropod dinosaurs, with brushite identified as main phosphate component. 🦕#paleontology #fossilpoop #softtissues #organicchemsitry #sauropods #cretaceous.

Nice synthesis on diversity and significance of biotic interactions in nature throughout evolutionary history by Mario X. Ruiz-González @mxrgon from @UPV .🪱🌲🦠

How cool, out in @ESAEcology! The ecology of modern laubierinid snails reveals they are symbiotic of living crinoids and, because acting like extinct Paleozoic platyceratid snails, are their only known modern analogous. #symbioses #gastropods #fossils🐌.

Last. Long collected fossils from the Late #Carboniferous Benxi formation 🇨🇳 bear herbivory damages like hole and margin feedings, sucking and oviposition. It also reveals new genera of stem-#Dictyoptera. by @naturhistoriska @nat_sciences_be @Le_Museum

Last, in @BioMedCentral : the oldest arthropod association in amber informs on how the lifecycle has evolved in phoretic acariform mites. By @Hemen_Sendi from @AkademiaVied, @PurdueBiolSci, @nat_sciences_be, @Dany_Azar, @GeosciencesR #mites #socialinsects .

First fossil evidence of pediculochelid mites two new species from Middle Cretaceous and Late Eocene amber revealing morphological stasis over at least 99 million years #Acari #Cretaceous 🕷️
