Goethe never knew this 40-million-year-old ant was hidden in his collection

nest fossil insect

Scientists examining amber from Goethe’s personal collection discovered three hidden fossil insects, including an extinct ant preserved in extraordinary detail. Advanced 3D imaging allowed researchers to see not only the ant’s outer features but also structures inside its body. The findings offer new clues about the species’ biology and suggest it likely built large nests in trees.

Geosternbergia: Beast of the Week

fossil Geosternbergia Pteranodon Pterosauria taxonomy

 This week we are looing at a famous pterosaur.  Check out Geosternbergia sterngergi!  I'm going to start this post off with pointing out that Geosternbergia is considered simply a separate species within the genus, Pteranodon, by many experts, which would make its name Pteranodon sternbergi.  That being said, since I already did a post on Pteranodon longiceps, I'm choosing to refer to this pterosaur as Geosternbergia.  (taxonomy is complicated and also subject to change especially with fossils)
