As a palaeontologist who is also a Christian, I often get asked about whether I think the Earth is 6000 or billions of years old. I believe the latter, but today I went to the 4th European Creation Conference to hear more about what the other side thinks... (1/9)

Happy Easter, to those that celebrate! May your baskets be as bountiful as the daily egg production of Mnemiopsis leidyi (averages of ~10,000+ per day) #CtenophoreFunFacts πŸͺΌπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯šπŸ₯š (1/35) πŸ˜‰

First footage coming through of the new Rubik's Cube World Record of 2.76 seconds. They'll be higher quality footage from Teodor's on desk camera soon but just look how happy Teodor is! As a Cubing parent this properly warms my cockles. #SpeedCubing #HappySunday www.instagram.com/reel/DUf06UD...

Niche post but the Rubik's Cube world record has just been broken and it's the first ever sub three second world record. And the person who has broken it is the loveliest Polish kid . It's the loveliest news plus a blooming incredible solve. Video not yet available as it just happened #SpeedCubing

These things lived on the deep sea bed. So I tried to make it look like the critter was being viewed by a deep sea rover, while also showing the sediment cross section so we can see the hold fast. #SciArt

Digital painting of an extinct deep sea creature that looks like two angry sprouts that are painted pink. One of the sprouts is buried in the mud and has little root-like structures growing from it. The upper sprout has a green spongy structure visible in a hole in the centre of the sprout. The leaves of the upper sprout have little mouth-shaped slits in their centres. The mud the creature sits in is light beige to dark brown, the water black to light grey and lit as though a spotlight is shining down through the water onto the creature.

First (inaccurate) attempt at a reconstruction of one of these things. It's difficult to see #fossil artefacts from the original structures. Also, I see both sides superimposed on each other in the #fossils when I shine light through it. I think this is a "juvenile" early growth stage #SciArt

On the 3rd day of fossils, my true love gave to me... 3 cyclocystoids! I wouldn't be surprised if you've never heard of a cyclocystoid. They are one of the rarest fossil echinoderms and related to starfish and sea urchins. They are small and fall apart quickly after death. 1/x #12DaysofFossils

Such an amazing set of exciting fossils from Sirius Passet. Excited to read all about them in more detail when published! πŸͺ±

Thomas Farrell β€ͺ@thomasfarrellpaleo.bsky.social‬ Very happy to have the chance to waffle about a brace of new exceptional fossils (not pictured) from Sirius Passet yesterday! Thanks to @thepalass.bsky.social and the organisers at Portsmouth for another excellent meeting πŸͺ±β›΅ #palass25
