megangibson+FollowAncient Giant Lifeform Found in Scotland!Imagine a 26-foot-tall mystery creature, neither plant nor fungus, towering over prehistoric Scotland! Scientists just found a 410-million-year-old fossil called Prototaxites, and it’s blowing minds because it doesn’t fit into any known group of life. This thing was the biggest organism on land before trees took over. Basically, Earth once had its own ‘alien’ giant, and we’re only just figuring it out now. How wild is that? #Science #ScienceNews #FossilDiscovery132Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowTeen's Montana dig uncovers Jurassic fossilA Connecticut high schooler just made the kind of discovery most paleontologists dream about—a 150-million-year-old dinosaur bone, found on his very first day at a Montana dig site! Aidan Connor, from Cheshire Academy, spotted the fossil (a tiny finger bone) and carefully extracted it in under an hour. He spent the rest of the week helping to preserve more ancient finds. It’s wild to think that opportunities like this are opening up for students, letting them chase their passions in the field. What do you think—should more schools support hands-on adventures like this? #Science #Montana #FossilDiscovery331Share
