Pappocetus lugardi (Gueran, Morocco) Eocetus schweinfurthi Basilosaurus cetoides Squalodon sp. (Summerville, South Carolina) Goniodelphis hudsoni (Achan Mine, Florida) Pomatodelphis inaequalis (Noralyn Mine, Florida) Hadrodelphis sp. (Achan Mine, Florida) Eurhinodelphis cocheteuxi (Antwerp, Belgium) Delphinodon dividum (Antwerp, Belgium) Scaldicetus caretti (Antwerp, Belgium) Globicephala sp. (Lee Creek Mine, North Carolina)

Hello all! I am looking for books/literature that show descriptions and illustrations of belemnites (belemnoids). In the book there must be information about belemnites, colour or black-white photographs and reconstructions of the fossil/animal (how the animal looked like in real life and perhaps description of the rostrum). If anyone know some titles, that would be wonderful! Kind regards, Ruben

Interesting twitter post by Paleontologist Denver Fowler: "On fossil sales, journalists are much too lazy, preferring to stoke perceived conflict between academia vs commercial collection. I think a rather cleverer (and real) story concerns how much of the fossils for sale are reconstructions or chimaeras" "In these times when purchasing fossils or art is considered an investment, then I think there is some responsibility on the seller to be able to guarantee authenticity." "If a dinosaur fossil does not include, for example, a bone map, then it probably is because the fossil is junk. Speaking from a sales background, a seller should include as much info that authenticates the sale as possible." https://t.co/9libwWSdGO (https://twitter.com/df9465/status/1650531621316206592?t=eEOkNtjt8gL44VQ357zRsA&s=03)

Hello all! Recently I have been obsessed with cephalopods and realized there is a real lack of reconstructions of the color patterns on extinct nautiloids and ammonites! This led me to compile a list of known fossil color patterns on cephalopods. After a year of on and off research, I found about 90 species of cephalopods retaining official or undescribed, original patterning on their shells. These are the first 15 species on my list. The color markings are based both on descriptions and photographs of the fossil material. The shades of the markings are based on the fossils, but also inferred. I Hope you will appreciate my work!
