This is a research image for Prof. Bill Clemens of UC Berkeley. It's a jaw fragment from an animal of the genus Cimolestes, a long-extinct rodent or weasel-like creature. Excavated in Niobrara County Wyoming in 1957, it's of late-Cretaceous age, between about 68 and 66 million years old. (This image is included in a book by Lowell Dingus called "King of the Dinosaur Hunters: The Life of John Bell Hatcher and His Discoveries that Shaped Paleontology.")

A Turkey Vulture dreams about a red ocean

a male Red-winged Blackbird transforming himself from an ordinary little black bird into a macho, big-shouldered superbird with a King Kong attitude, displaying his puffed-up beautiful red epaulets and singing robustly to attract females (usually several, sometimes as many as ten) to his excellent territory on a pretty stock pond near the shore of Tomales Bay.

This is a research image made for paleontologist Dr. Carole Hickman at U.C. Berkeley. It shows a detail of a marine gastropod fossil found in Olympic National Park. This snail was alive about 50 million years ago.

I am astounded by the preservation of the delicate nacreous (iridescent) layers... for 50 million years!
