Happy (belated) birthday to Charles Darwin, the naturalist and geologist who forever changed our understanding of the natural world!🌍 Here's an 1859 letter from Darwin to geologist John Phillips on his upcoming book 'On the Origin of Species', from the @morethanadodo Archives!

September 12th 2014, ten years ago today, was the very first day of the very first Yorkshire Fossil Festival. Dr Lucy McCobb of @AmgueddfaCymru reported on the inaugural Festival for @ThePalAss. You can read it here: palass.org/outreach/yorks… #ThrowbackThursday

This is a truly excellent exhibition that everyone needs to see! The team have done an amazing job! 🦌🏹🦫 Congrats!


#ICYMI last week marked 200 years since the naming of the very first dino to be scientifically described - Megalosaurus! This dino would have likely roamed in Yorkshire, and you can see bones loaned from @morethanadodo, one with Mary Morland's handwriting on it, @YorkshireMuseum!

Today's the big day! Happy Birthday Megalosaurus! You might be 200 years old today but you don't look a day over 166 million years! Read all about the first dinosaur and its Yorkshire relatives in our blog! fossilsinthills.weebly.com/blogs #Megalosaurus200

Come and work with me on Pleistocene mammals!! 🦣 I have two projects, take a look 👀 There are also loads of other fantastic projects to choose from, so you’ll get to meet not only museum people, but other students too. #Palaeontology #StudentPlacement #Pleistocene #Fossil

Applications are NOW OPEN! The Undergraduate Bursary Scheme provides students from underrepresented backgrounds with 5-6 weeks of hands-on work experience in a museum. Projects cover natural sciences research, museum collections management, and public engagement with science.

Today I finally got to visit the excellent Mary Anning exhibition @yorkshiremuseum! It was so great to see the display of fossils found by my group of first-time fossil hunters!

Today I had a fantastic time leading a fossil walk for a women's support group as part of @yorkshiremuseum's Mary Anning exhibit! Providing fossil hunting opportunities for people who don't normally have them is a brilliant way to honour her legacy!
