East European silver in #Viking Gotland: Known as Permian rings and originally worn around necks, these striated rings, some with cubo-octahedral bullion weight style terminals, were twisted into (more popular) arm-rings in Scandinavia, before being imitated there.

Been real fun watching my industry go through its own personal Permian extinction
A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Illinois national guard should immediately begin training on entraping the texas national guard members. Offer them donuts, cheap canned beer and Italian beef sandwiches. Once asleep, cuff 'em and bus back to the Permian Basin and drop em in the middle of nowhere. It's a good plan.

A footprint fossil from long before dinosaurs roamed is raising big questions on #P.E.I.
It dates back about 290 million years, to the Permian Period. But researchers say the animal they think likely left it has no fossil record that early,

More of his vids on YT & IG, but he discusses.
Permian Basin will be/is one of the biggest toxic waste sites. Ever
States refuse to hold oil/gas corps to account.
No meaningful regs.
Only like 15 testing stations.
LT enviro studies by UT/Austin gone.
W Canada too

This #fossilfriday, we move in time to the #Permian when the #amphibian Seymouria sanjuanensis lived in what is New Mexico today. Clusters of large animals like this one are rarely found in the #fossil record, especially this well preserved.

There are over 20, 000 species of trilobite - all in different shapes and sizes! Trilobites are among the most successful early animals, living in oceans for almost 300 million years, before becoming extinct at the end of the Permian.

Fossil prep feels so much like funerary care. Paleo doula. Worked on a Dimetrodon (dunno which specific species of Dimetrodon) pelvis today, first Permian animal I’ve gotten to touch. Very rad, good day.
