Branwen OShea (she/her)Ok, nature sleuths, what kind of bones are these? They were found together in the forest (Northeast US). Just over an inch in length. Also looks like they have small holes.
JJ Bluehttps://www.wired.com/story/scotland-village-spaceport-peatland/ watch for warming trends in the UK. If this is a carbon sink preserving #climate, launches in a Scottish bog will certainly cause warming. #climatechange #nature

Travis🏴Got asked to do a mock-up of a California Golden Beaver for the California Naturalist annual service pin. Here's the original colored pencil idea that looked like a rat. The b&w sharpie drawing that fixed a couple things. Then the digitally colored one (using the official palette). I wish I could've done details, but this is only going to be about ¾"x¾" so it's already gonna have to shrink.

For #FungiFriday have a looksie at the time a few weeks ago when I found a bunch of Onion Earthball (#Scleroderma cepa) #mushrooms! Here's one I was documenting for #iNaturalist that *spontaneously* exploded ashy black spores all over my arm and chest (not in the face, thankfully😅).
