Lots of people know that prehistoric sea turtles got big, but it can be easy to underestimate just how huge these things got. The largest verified specimen of a modern Leatherback turtle weighed in at 1,433 lbs, but this Archelon would have been closer to 11,300 lbs. #scicomm #paleosky #paleontology

Winifred Goldring died #OTD in 1971. She was the first paleontologist in the US & first woman appointed as a State Paleontologist (NY, 1939). The first woman president of the Paleontological Society (the largest association of paleontologists in the world) in 1949. #WomenInSTEM #paleontology
Black-and-white partially framed studio portrait of Winifred Goldring, an esteemed American paleontologist (1888–1971), shown in a classic head-and-shoulders view against a soft, shaded background. She has neatly styled graying hair pulled back, a calm and dignified expression with a slight smile, and is dressed in a dark V-neck blouse or dress, evoking early 20th-century formality. As the first woman to serve as State Paleontologist of New York (1939–1954)—a groundbreaking role as the first female in the U.S. and likely worldwide in such a position—she worked at the New York State Museum for over 40 years, starting in 1912 as a scientific expert in paleontology. She rose to become the museum's first female curator, authored key works on Devonian crinoids and the Gilboa fossil forest, pioneered innovative museum exhibits (including the famous 1924 diorama of a living Devonian seed fern forest), described stromatolites, and broke barriers as the first female president of the Paleontological Society (1949) and vice president of the Geological Society of America (1950). Her legacy includes advancing paleontological research, education, and public outreach on prehistoric life. #WomenInScience
Black-and-white candid photograph of Winifred Goldring in her fieldwork attire at Mount Rainier National Park in Washington, July 1928, captured on a scenic mountain path lined with tall pine trees and rocky terrain. She wears practical outdoor clothing including a cap, long-sleeved shirt, sturdy pants or overalls, and boots, and carries a walking stick or pole for support on the uneven ground, smiling brightly with evident enthusiasm for the outdoors. As a renowned paleontologist and geologist (1888–1971), Goldring was passionate about fieldwork from her youth, hiking extensively to study fossils and geology; her research focused on Paleozoic formations, including crinoids, stromatolites, and the iconic Gilboa Devonian forest fossils. She served as New York State's first female State Paleontologist (1939–1954), the museum's first female curator, and a leader in paleontology, creating groundbreaking exhibits and inspiring generations despite gender barriers in the field.

Your reminder that many of the muscles, nerves and bones you use to hear and talk with correspond to gill structures in fish. 🧪 #evolution #paleontology

Amazing fossil alert. Jurassic salamander from China. You can see the soft tissue of the eye, gills, limbs, even the folds of its tail. And its last meal its stomach… 🧪 #evolution #paleontology

One life eclipses another; Smilodon takes down a whitetail deer. Inspired by petroglyphs, cave art, and ancient Scythian art. It's weird to think that the whitetail deer survived the ice age and made it to the present but many of its predators did not. #art #smilodon #paleontology #rockart #deer
Digital art of a Smilodon hunting a white tailed deer buck. Both figures are drawn as if they were petroglyphs. The Smilodon is pouncing the deer while the deer's rear legs twist to the opposite side of its body. This twisting leg direction signifies a dead or dying animal in Scythian art which also has influences on this piece.

1/7 This video shows a large #ammonite #fossil about 71 million years old, with a well-developed iridescent layer. The specimen comes from Southern Alberta, Canada and illustrates a case of exceptional shell preservation. 🧪 ⚛️ #geology #Paleontology #science

A friend showed me this amazing trilobite fossil he found. Trilobites are amazing — these animals lived more than 400 million years ago, long before dinosaurs even existed. #Fossils #Paleontology #Travel
