Kimberichnus is a fan shaped set of scratch marks found on rocks in the Ediacaran, most likely made by early mollusk/bilaterian Kimberella. These little scratches were made as Kimberella scraped algae off the hardpan surface of the Ediacaran sea floor. Yes, that's right - I'm making clothing inspired by the nom nom marks of an old dead maybe-slug.
If you've followed me on social media, chances are you've seen me whine about cleaning fossils. See, I'm a paleontologist who has had the (mis)fortune of doing research in a locality with some of the hardest rock I've ever dealt with! So I need your help!
Paleoart is dominated by dinosaurs - and don't get me wrong, dinosaurs are cool, but I find myself way more drawn to drawing (heh) non-dinosaurs in part because apparently I'm secretly a scientific hipster. Except of course, then there's a dinosaur that's so cool looking I... can't help myself. Enter, Anzu.
Bothriolepis is such a crazy cool ancient fish - it's a cute little armored monstrosity that has strange little armored crab claw arms. In fact... some people think those lil chonky fins weren't actually used for swimming.
We've been running a fundraiser for Sternberg Science Camps where all items marked with the Kansas Cretaceous Paisley have 90% of the profits donated directly to send low-income students to summer science camps. To get us to our next goalpost, I've created some new products!
Bowen's reaction series is an order describing how minerals precipitate out of magma, with Mafic minerals like Olivine precipitating out at higher temperatures. So why does my pattern have the mafic minerals at the top? Let me explain!
Have you been wanting these patterns for crafting purposes? Well, now you can buy cotton, linen, canvas, and much more on our affiliated Spoonflower site!
When a magma loves a continent very, very much, it has to undergo some changes before the two can be fully... joined, as it were. That process is replicated here in this new pattern!
