This week for #Fossilfriday we have another #Guess that #Lego #Fossil.

This one I would rate as medium. This large stegosaurid is closely related to stegosaurus, but isnt stegosaurus.

Reminder: hide your answer behind a content warning. This will allow others to guess without a hint. I will post the answer tomorrow (and to anyone who guesses correctly).

This was designed by kongzilla and modified by me into a new species.

Well, at least these probably didn't float around and land on you.

This Arachnid in Illinois Had Armored Spikes on Its 8 Legs - The new species is too strange to be assigned a category, by Olivia Young May 30, 2024

"...“This is the big question,” says Jason Dunlop, co-author of the study. “The new fossil resembles some (but not all) living harvestmen”—aka daddy longlegs—“with spiny legs, and has some vague similarities to mites,” although he says its body is much bigger. The segmentation pattern and slight constriction between the head area and abdomen suggest that it may belong in a group with whip spiders and whip scorpions, “but unfortunately we can’t see the mouthparts, which would help us to confirm this hypothesis.”

So, maybe giant biting mites, possibly poisonous (ala daddy longlegs). Sounds fun [not].

For World Turtle Day, please enjoy this 54-million-year-old fossil of a baby sea turtle, which was found in Denmark and includes preserved soft tissue.

In fact, it's so well-preserved that scientists discovered molecules of a pigment that would have darkened the turtle's shell, perhaps to protect it against sun damage.

Today, I learned about a very interesting project put together by Data For Good and éclaircies: https://www.carbonbombs.org

It explains the concept of and provides transparent data and visualization about the world's biggest fuel extraction projects, and their links with and !

It comes with maps, graphs and figures that highlight the 425 fossil fuel projects around the world that will generate more than 1 gigatonne of CO₂ emissions during their lifetime.

Two fossil imprints of the shells of Trigonia dug up today near the top of a hill in #Bath #Somerset #UK. These molluscs lived in the Jurassic Period at a time when even the hills in Bath were under water. The rock is (I think) Inferior Oolite.

There are a lot of Ice Age bison fossils @westernsciencecenter, and each one tells us something about the life of an individual bison. What can we say about a fragment of a jaw?

Hmm. Is there something that syncs plaintext files between devices, and handles file conflicts better than syncthing? (Which just creates a copy of the conflicting file.)

I guess if there was a satisfying answer, we wouldn't need Git, right? :/

brolf,

@blinry does nextcloud + collabora count?
Otherwise, if you want to stick to the scm vibe I'd recomment you looking into #fossil
It may be a better fit for your usecase than git.
