Basalt Weaver (Carl-August W.)

One of the better sequences in the series. Just slightly spoiled by the obvious cues leading to the final attack. The beaching could've been more of a surprise imo.

Love this!

the narrative lmao, this series will be comedy gold

I recall hearing that he grew out the santa beard later in life because he didn't want to get recognized. Which is ironic given that it has become his most iconic look lol

Fragmentary remains of 3 different dinosaurs have been found in the Kristianstad basin. Some better finds in Sweden have be found in Early Jurassic rocks (Höganäs fm.). Still awaiting publication though...

Yeah kind of. As far as Scandinavia is concerned, there is a lot of fossil-rich Maastritchtian marine sediments in Denmark, and some nice marine sed in the Kristianstad Basin in Sweden (mostly Campanian). It is thought that the recent ice ages have likely eroded a lot of the sedimentary rocks here.

yea, it's an improvement

God forbid if we tell the K-Pg story in a new interesting way when we can just rehash the exact same thing

Them are some big words in the abstract, no?

The best

Result from the Joggins Formation #paleostream! This Canadian site is an absolute classic and even if you are not familiar with its name you probably know at least one of its major players...

And given BBC's recent track record, at this point Evolution will probably be marketed post release 😅

what a conveniently placed tree

Spielberg in 1993: all right, I'll shit out a good dinosaur movie whilst on break from Schindler's List.

They are, but it was commissioned by NBC and will be sold and distributed by them.

Boycott or pirate these american media products.

Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo

Good morning!

Here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm.

I've only seen the Russians condemning the attack so far, which is a bit rich coming from them.

FUCK YOU IT'S JANUARY!!!

Capping off the year with yet another prehistoric map:

Australia during the Pleistocene ice age, an ancient land of bizarre Megafauna, as seen in the most recent season of Prehistoric Planet.

See you all in 2026, happy new year! : )
