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.
This one I would rate as medium. This is small sized ceratopsian.

This was designed by Kongzilla and modified to a new species by me

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 #carbonBombs and provides transparent data and visualization about the world's biggest #fossil fuel extraction projects, and their links with #companies and #banks !
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.
This one I would rate as medium. This mid sized Macronarians is known from North America

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. #Fossils#Mollusc#Fossil#Nature#Geology#Jurassic
The spiralled shape of a Goniatite fossil emerging from this shore tumbled concretion. The outline of its internal flotation chambers and their divisions clearly visible. They swam in large numbers in the waters that covered this area over 300 million years ago.

This one I would rate as medium. This small Thyreophora is known from China.

“Though it's got a surprisingly modern look, this teapot was made in the 18th-century in Staffordshire—the heart of Britain's pottery industry. The area’s limestone yielded prehistoric fossils, and potters often turned them into whimsical motifs for teapots.”
This one I would rate as hard. This small theropod is known for some impressive fossils, but this one doesn't look like it.

This one I would rate as medium. The ceratopsian is one of the few without "ceratops" at the end of its name.

The body was designed by Kongzilla and the skull was modified by me into a new species.
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? :/
@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.
