Today's trip is Lava Beds national monument, another place I have been meaning to visit for over a decade. It wasn't even on my itinerary for this trip, I just realized last night that my motel was half an hour away from it.

Mastodon is great, the only thing I miss on this app is quote posts. I know they have a bad rap bc of Twitter, but every major social network has this functionality for a reason (Tumblr, LinkedIn, Facebook, IG). As a journalist, I’d love to add commentary and amplify great info, build on ppl’s points, etc. You just can’t do that the same wait with replies! Is there any chance we might get them on here?

This week for #Fossilfriday we have another #Guess that #Lego #Fossil.

This one I would rate as fairly easy. This is theropod is famous for being bizarre at best.

Reminder: hide your answer behind a CW. This will allow others to guess without a hint. I will post the answer tomorrow (and to anyone who guesses correctly).

Here is an updated image of all the different fossils I have made.
You can find most of them on #Rebrickable
Only about a dozen or so are designed by me. About 1/3rd of the others are modified by me into a new species. The rest come from all over the internet.

I just learned that a style of welding is called "Fluxcore" and now I want nothing more than to turn that into a music genre.

This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Xenoceratops.

In 1958, fragments of a skull were found by Wann Langston Jr in the Foremost Formation. These fragments went into storage in the Canadian Museum of Nature.

In 2003, David C. Evans and Michael J. Ryan rediscovered the specimens and in 2009 they decided to do a more in depth study of the specimen.

In 2012, Ryan, Evans, and Kieran M. Sheppard described the new species species, naming it Xenoceratops foremostensis.

This week for #Fossilfriday we have another #Guess that #Lego #Fossil.

This one I would rate as medium. This is midsized ceratopsian from Alberta, is known from one species. Its NOT Albertaceratops.

Reminder: hide your answer behind a CW. This will allow others to guess without a hint. I will post the answer tomorrow (and to anyone who guesses correctly).

This body was designed by Kongzilla with the skull modified by me into something else

A few weeks ago I downloaded Monopoly Go on the App Store, because it looked like a cute stylization of Monopoly. But… it was not Monopoly. It just pretends to be Monopoly.

Really digging the #community #vibes on #Mastodon this weekend. I know it’s been stressful for the network given the massive influx of new users from #Twitter… but I’ve had so many great interactions with new and returning people. Feeling #positive and #optimistic! 🥰

This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Elasmosaurus.

The first fossil of Elasmosaurus was found by Edward Drinker Cope in 1867. He named it Elasmosaurus platyurus.

Originally Cope reconstructed Elasmosaurus with its head at the end of its tail, something Marsh did not let him hear the end of.

Living around 80 million years ago, and growing to around 10 meters in length, Elasmosaurus was one of the largest Plesiosauria.

Its possible that Elasmosaurus used gastroliths to help with digestion
