Oh for sure, without a doubt. Hell it took forever for people to figure out feathers.
Then again, on rare occasion we do get some cool skin/soft tissue evidence like that Nodosaurus in Canada. Sometimes they’re strikingly similar to what we thought (or not?). I am not a paleontologist and I am speaking out of my ass.
That Nodosaurus is super cool though, y’all should see it.
Also for those who don’t feel like Googling it: flow arts include juggling, spinning, baton/staff/whatever spinning, fan dance (?), and more.
TIL there’s a general term for that.
Wouldn’t the coin on the knuckles thing count?
Compulsive skin picking for those who don’t want to have to Google it.
I am not a doctor.
Q: physically, how are you watching them? On a couch? Lying in bed? Hunched over on the bus? Phone? TV? Do you have auto motion plus enabled (you monster)? Do you watch it in one place? Has that room been checked for carbon monoxide? Is it a basement? Has it been checked for radon?
It could be a lot of things and there’s not enough information provided but the first thing that occurred to me is blood pressure. Do you have a blood pressure cuff? Try to use it when you’re feeling light headed and when you’re not and comparing numbers.
It could be a physical things about the position of your body, pressure on something because you’re hunched over or something. It could be a visual things too. There are conditions where moving/changing visuals could affect you.
It’s kind of overwhelming all of the things it could be and you really should go to a doctor.
While you’re waiting for your appointment try to make observations about what is the same about reading vs watching and what is different. This will help them figure out what to investigate.
The free stuff has vastly dwindled in the last 7 years. Honestly even the vendors hawking wares are hardly there anymore.
I remember a world…a 2013-2017 world…where the swag was good and flowed like free drink tickets.
Omfg this is literally how I ended up a geologist! Are you spying on me?!
Fairly worried. I limit plastic but even limited it’s in a lot. I want to install a filter on my washing machine to help catch micro plastics from my clothes. I have a septic but I think it would still be helpful in adding yet another barrier before they filter into groundwater.
I’m a little more worried since they said that it will create blockages in your veins and arteries so you’re more likely to stroke the fuck out.
Everything sucks and there isn’t much to do about it on the individual scale and the push to put the moral onus on consumers is fucking bullshit. I’m 90% certain the recycling service I pay extra for just dumps it with my regular garbage.
Thanks for posting, I’ll check it out :)
Not OP but I’ve been looking for one to help me with meetings and disorganized notes. How well would you say it works? Does it only transcribe or will it help organize notes (create categories, cluster analysis, tags, action items, whatever)?
Hahahaha
I just vaguely cited the gist in text and then did the “so-and-so, personal communication” in the references but then again mine was only a M.S. thesis.
It’s both, IIRC depends on the species but some have those creepy noodly things to eat and some eject stringy viscera to distract the predator and skedaddle.
You are my favorite user on Lemmy. A+ work.
I’ve cracked a few of these smaller ones for funsies and they just have either nothing or these little brown crystals near the center. I honestly forget what mineral even though someone told me but I remember thinking it looked like barite? They’re pretty small and I didn’t have my hand lens with me.
There’s a YouTube channel that does videos where all the guy does is crack open concretions found on the English coast. Let me see if I can go find it. Ok apparently there are a bunch, so here’s the first one I clicked on: https://m.youtube.com/@YorkshireFossils
These are the same concept as the concretions above but different scale and age.
I’m not sure about the source deposit for the original post photo but I’ve seen concretions like those in the photo in glacial clays as young as 15,000 years old.
I’ve also collected little shrimpies in concretions found in Eocene shale (like 40 million years old) and then of course the YouTube channel digs up these crazy good ammonites and other things from the Jurassic that are 175-180 ish million years old.
It’s pretty neat. Sometimes they form from the interaction of infiltrating water and bacteria, and there are other types of concretions too. They aren’t always calcium carbonate.
Plus, rarely, they can get pyritized and I forget the exact process but it is a form of mineral replacement after (?) the concretion formed (?). I’ve always wanted to find one that has turned to pyrite but I think they oxidize and tarnish pretty quickly.
Not a paleontologist, just a regular geologist, so that’s about all I know on the subject haha.
Yes, kinda. Sometimes it’s just a small bit where crystals nucleated. Sometimes there are fossils of (generally shelled) creatures or bits of creatures. Commonly stuff like clams, shrimp, maybe crabs, other molluscs. Sometimes intact but the material is similar to the things you see washed up on a modern beach.
Also the ones displayed are unlikely to have fossils in them. You can sometimes tell by the shape of the concretion.
Thank you
Um, Actually…
Not everyone floods their bog. In some regions, flooding is fairly uncommon with maybe 20% or less of farmers choosing to flood.
There are picker machines that harvest the berries straight from the ground. I knew someone whose machine ran on rails they’d installed throughout their bog but I’m not sure how common their exact setup was.
