For today‘s #FossilFriday, we celebrate the start of our collaboration @naturmusee with Urweltmuseum Geoskop during their excavation in the latest Carboniferous of Rhineland-Palatinate. Never seen so many myriapod fossils before!

Special #FossilFriday treat: remember the Jurassic vampire squids we discovered in SW-Luxembourg during our #LostOceanDigging one year ago? Their fossil ink was used for a stunning piece of art by Natalia Slioutova-Hansen, currently on display @naturmusee

Revisited the Transition Now exhibition at #ellergronn during the pleasant event “En Daag an der Natur”. Happy to have contributed to this inspiring exhibition. The basement features @naturmusée fossils from the Minette area and an ichthyosaur carcass in an extraordinary setting.

We had a blast at today‘s LuxCon, talking about the science of sea monsters. Planet Earth is, in fact, home to creatures that challenge the wildest imagination, hiding in plain sight. Long live the cross-pollination between research and creativity! @naturmusee #luxcon #fandom

After 183 Million years in the underground, the ink of an extinct squid excavated during our #LostOceanDigging in SW-Luxembourg was transformed into a first piece of art. More to come! @naturmusee instagram.com/p/Co2-Nghtmn4/…

Remember our #LostOceanDigging in Bascharage, #Luxembourg, earlier this year? Some of the fish fossils just returned from preparation @naturmusee. Enjoy those Jurassic fishy faces!

Fossil bonanza in Lower Devonian freshwater deposits: sea scorpions, armoured fish, plenty of early land plants, and most importantly: fantastic field work with great people! @naturmusee
