It’s time for #FossilFriday! Meet Tupuxuara leonardii, or the “familiar spirit.” It lived during the Middle Cretaceous around 110 million years ago. Among the vertebrates, pterosaurs were the first to evolve true powered flight.✈️

This pterosaur was an advanced member of the group known as pterodactyloids, which were characterized by loss of the tail. Tupuxuara had a crest on the back of its skull that may have helped guide it during flight. Spot this pterosaur in the Museum’s Hall Vertebrate Origins.

Meet the streamside salamander (Ambystoma barbouri)! You might spot it in wetland or forest habitats in parts of Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. It likes to hang out beneath rocks or in burrows underground, usually not too far from a stream.

A few of its favorite snacks include insects, worms, and plankton. How big does this salamander get? On average, it’s around 5-7 inches (12.7-17.8 centimeters) long.

“‘Now when I was a little chap I had a passion for maps. I would look for hours at South America, or Africa, or Australia, and lose myself in all the glories of exploration. At that time there were many blank spaces on the earth, and when I saw one that looked particularly inviting on a map (but they all look that) I would put my finger on it and say, ‘When I grow up I will go there.'” - Heart of Darkness

"Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that's okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind."

– Anthony Bourdain, 1956-2018

A global pandemic seemed as good a time as any to official launch the LOST CARGO online outpost.

I've spent the last several months working with people around the globe to create and offer unique pieces of cargo, people I have built relationships with during my travels and, more recently, partnerships. But just before those crates could be shipped from their respective countries, lockdown and quarantine efforts went into effect. So this official launch is on the smaller side: limited quantities of limited pieces. As I get ordering and shipping processes worked out, I will be working to offer larger pieces and continue building out our offerings. 

At its core, Lost Cargo is about adventure and curiosity. It's about the different ways humanity expresses itself and the pockets of our planet that few have ever laid eyes on. It's about big stories told in great company with good drink. It's about always wondering what's beyond that next ridge, around that next bend, over that next rise.

Cheers to those of you who have been apart of this journey and participated in its evolution (formerly as Chasing Linnaeus). I’m excited to see how this next leg of the expedition takes shape.
