3.25" Fossil Horsetail (Annularia) Nodule Pos/Neg - Mazon Creek

[252mya]

Millions of years of plant evolution have been preserved in the fossil record, from ancient lineages of ferns to relatively more geologically recent flowering plants. This colorful Hawaiian shirt-inspired pattern features a sampling of 'paleo-plants' dating from the Carboniferous to the Cretaceous.    Design by Caroline Fleet of Soft Biology sulc.us/plants

annularia replied to your photo:Lettering practice

Holy cats, this is insanely good.

Thanks! I'm slowly working my way up to being able to do everything involved with making comics. Last night I started thinking, maybe I could try to get some lettering work at some point. But that's probably somewhere further down the road.

7. What's your strangest talent?

I'm really good at belching. And making fart noises with my hands and mouth. I blame my big brother.

14. If you are outside, what are you most likely doing?

At this point in the year? Marching. At other times? Sitting and staring at the sky or aimlessly meandering about. Or sportsing, on rare occasions.

43. Do you have any nicknames?

Meilzy is the one that most often pops up and sticks

So, about the life on other planets... We haven't found anything constituting a true organism anywhere but Earth - just possible trace microfossils and organic molecules that might be life-related. Astrobiology! *scuttles back to Science Lair*

Okay! I just vaguely remember hearing/reading something about some sort of life-like cells or something on another planet. I'm not even remotely informed on the subject. So thanks for educating me! :)
