Fathom PublishingWhat #dinosaur was actually the biggest? It's a question that scientists are still trying to piece together an answer to, facing challenges from fragmentary fossils.

Global Museum'Mammoth' Bones Kept in a Museum For 70 Years Turn Out to Be Entirely Different Animal.
The fossilized backbones of what appeared to be woolly mammoths have turned out to come from an entirely different and unexpected animal.
Archaeologist Otto Geist first discovered the bones on an expedition in 1951 through the Alaskan interior, in a prehistoric geographic region known as Beringia.

Scientists sequenced their genomes, showing slow-evolving genes, ancient duplications, and clues to how our own ancestors moved onto land.

๐ฆโ๏ธ 66 million years ago, an #asteroid wiped out 75% of #Earthโs species. The survivors โ small #birds, #mammals, #turtles, and #fish โ shared key traits: a small body size, the ability to burrow or shelter in #water, and flexible diets. Researchers explain how size, diet, and luck determined who lived and who didnโt.

Over 20 years ago we spent some time in Field BC to explore what we could about the Burgess Shale. Itโs amazing to comprehend these fossils are from the Cambrian Era, half a billion years ago. We hiked Mt Stephen and I took some rubbings of the trilobite bed, pretty high up. These formed the basis of the carving for the matte acrylic resist plate here on the painting, turquoise kootenia.
