Hello I’m Katie! I’m a palaeontologist & geologist who loves rocks & talking (to anyone who’ll listen) about how awesome Scotland’s geological & fossil heritage is 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚒
Meet Tealliocaris loudonensis - a wee 330 million year old fossilised shrimp from East Lothian 🦐 this crustacean once thrived in the brackish waters of Loch Cadell in the Carboniferous, back when Scotland lay close to the equator & experienced a hot & tropical climate 🖤 #geology #palaeontology
@palaeokatie that’s so delicate! What a find.
