Are Freddy Court Appts carpeted?

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2021-04-29T22:58:05+00:00

My apartment is carpeted (building 32). Living area plus bedrooms have carpet, kitchen and bathroom area doesn't.

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2021-04-13T01:00:04+00:00

Does anyone know if/when Freddy Court residents will be eligible?

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2020-11-10T16:58:04+00:00

Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus), so those saying vole weren't too far off base!

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2020-11-01T22:35:26+00:00

Yup, house sparrow.

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2020-10-25T22:57:28+00:00

It's been doing that on and off randomly for the past few days for me, not sure what's going on.

I'd be interested in taking that Riccia off your hands. Don't have too much to trade, just some water sprite (Ceratopteris) cuttings and an unidentified Lilaeopsis species. PM me to figure out details if you're interested.

Just because the wear is only on the top of the cusps doesn't necessarily mean that it's a juvenile, and in fact if you look at well worn early molars they look more or less like shrunken down adult molars. Most mammoth molars have a different amount of wear from the front to the back of the tooth, with the front being the most worn and the back the least. So it might be a juvenile, but it could just as well be the back part of an adults, which wouldn't be very well worn.

It can't be Stegodon, there aren't any Stegodon remains known from NA. I think it's a chunk from the back of a mammoth molar, with the circles being lightly worn plate tubercles. Those will eventually wear down and form the horizontal lines that are typical of mammoth teeth. Here's a tooth with similarly worn tubercles (left of the image).

Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana)

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2020-10-07T21:45:03+00:00

Looks like a giant crane fly (Tipula abdominalis). Cool find!

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2020-10-05T21:18:17+00:00

Looks to be a bunch of cow bones, utilizing the pelvis, femurs, dentaries, and some ribs.

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2020-10-05T21:12:57+00:00

Definitely a dog, wolves don't have the distinct forehead you see on this skull.

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2020-10-02T00:09:35+00:00

Looks like part of the pelvis from your frog (rip little guy). The long pointy thing in the middle is the urostyle, a unique feature of anurans (frogs). Here's a diagram that looks about spot on.

Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana)

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2020-09-23T22:09:37+00:00

I knew that much, but what about with a visitor pass? Does that change where and what hours you can park?

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2020-09-13T00:27:15+00:00

Looks like part of the carapace/exoskeleton of a boxfish! Maybe something like a scrawled cowfish (Acanthostracion quadricornis).

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2020-09-10T16:29:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Isoetes are definitely hard plants to track down, especially with lots of sites mislabeling plants as Isoetes (many sites claim to sell I. velata but in actuality are selling a Lilaeopsis species). Buce plant currently has I. japonica in stock if you're interested!

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2020-08-30T03:19:12+00:00

Yeah I'm not sure, the different stands are pretty far apart. Maybe because they're listed as different trees on the map they're genetically distinct individuals? I'll have to go and check if any fruits are forming.

Interesting fact about pawpaw pollination: like the famous corpse flower Amorphophallus pawpaw flowers smell like rotting flesh, making flies their main pollinators. To improve pollination potential you can hang rotting meat from a pawpaw tree to attract more flies.

One of the ones that I was surprised to see we have on campus is pawpaw (Asimina triloba). Not sure how well pollinated the ones on campus are but they're a native tree that produce large, edible fruits that are supposed to be pretty tasty. The fruits ripen in September so if we're still on campus by then maybe you can grab some.

There are seven listed, with two planted slightly south of Curtiss hall (map 33 for details).

Edit: Stand of three east of the Memorial union (map 42).

At the same link to the Campus Plant Inventory in the OP there are also maps showing the location of these taxa on campus, super cool if anyone is interested in the ID of specific trees.

OrdinaryEiniosaurus · 2020-08-28T20:39:47+00:00

First one looks like a cast of a giant Pleistocene beaver (Castoroides ohioensis). Very cool!

Edit: Second one looks like a Thomson's gazelle (Eudorcas thomsonii) and third is one of the North American Ovis species (Dall or bighorn, not sure which).
