Happy #FossilFriday, check out this Allosaurus fossil with amethyst growing at its center! It's likely water rich with silica and a touch of iron leeched into the bone during the fossilization process, allowing the growth of crystals over time.

I was at my friend's house, this afternoon, and got to hang out with my lil' buddy, here!
Not pictured: Four of said friend's peafowl standing on the roof and peering in an upstairs window, two turkeys following and asking for treats, and a goat doing that gentle head-butting thing that cats do on my leg.
(Note - Emu's right eye was injured when he was a chick, which is why it looks kind of weird.)
The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library introduces nonfiction to the beginning reader and serves as a great resource to help teachers make abstract scientific concepts come to life! As the students are entertained by the intriguing stories, they will also learn about fascinating facts that will keep them reading to learn even more.
Happy #FossilFriday, check out this skull from a juvenile Gryposaurus! These hadrosaurs called North America their home roughly 75 million years ago, and this particular individual would have enjoyed the lush jungle that makes up the Kaiparowits Formation. (1/2) #paleontology#dinosaur#science

This is a linocut of the Parasaurolophus dinosaur, the Late Cretaceous duck-billed hadrosaur with the strange hollow crest on its skull like its own built-in nose trumpet.
The instantly recognizable, large, elaborate cranial crest makes the Parasaurolophus one of the most popular dinosaurs today. It is believed that the crest allowed these animals to distinguish between 🧵
Happy #FossilFriday, these are the broken lower leg bones (fibulae) of the tyrannosaurs Teratophoneus and Lythronax! Partial healing has occurred in both specimens, indicating the animals lived with the breaks for a short time before dying. (1/2) #paleontology#pathology#paleopathology#dinosaur#science
Happy #FossilFriday, here's a natural cast of a hadrosaur track from the Blackhawk Formation in Utah! Groups of hadrosaurs walked across a squishy swamp during the Early Cretaceous, leaving behind prints that would have later been filled in by sand. (1/2) #paleontology#ichnology#dinosaur#science
