For #NationalFossilDay here is a look at a full rendering of my #Lego #fossil #museum.
I have made most of these IRL as well.
This represents over 100 species, from all over the world.
Can you see your favorite extinct animal in here?
#NationalFossilDay came around again, so here are my favorite fossil contributions again 🧪

Today is #NationalFossilDay! Over my career, I’ve been an author or coauthor in naming five new fossil species: the #Miocene baleen #whale Eobalaenoptera harrisoni (2004), the Miocene toothed whale Squalodon whitmorei (2005), the Triassic gliding reptile Mecistotrachelos apeoros (2007), the #Cretaceous #tyrannosaur Dynamoterror dynastes (2018), and the #Pleistocene Pacific #mastodon Mammut pacificus (2019).
