Want to see the real fossil type specimen of Tiktaalik? It’s on display at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia on loan from the Canadian Museum of Nature until Summer 2024. Photo by @tomstewartscience 🧪
Heading to Philadelphia to celebrate the career, and retirement, of my friend and colleague, Ted Daeschler. The original type specimen of Tiktaalik will be at the party! www.inquirer.com/arts/tiktaal...
