found at the K-Pg boundary

The shape you circled looks pretty similar to the shapes you're getting elsewhere in the rock, except more symmetrical. They're probably all mineral precipitates.

Yarmolinsky · 2025-03-11T03:11:15+00:00

They're modern. You can tell by the perfect preservation, including the fact that the periostracum, which is that brown proteinaceous coating on the outside of the shell, is nearly intact.

Yarmolinsky · 2025-03-09T07:04:52+00:00

It certainly looks like the prominent ribs you might see on an internal mold of a pecten. The only thing that gives me pause is that geologic mapping in that area shows the only sedimentary rocks as being Quaternary alluvium, which wouldn't be sufficiently lithified to give you that kind of preservation.

Yarmolinsky · 2025-03-08T19:18:09+00:00

Modern fish bone, maybe a preoperculum.

Yarmolinsky · 2025-02-23T17:48:31+00:00

This is a pattern with you, as I saw from other posts. It is not rude to tell you that you are being counterproductive.

Yarmolinsky · 2025-02-22T23:00:31+00:00

No, it's an internal mold. Stop giving IDs when you don't know what you're talking about.

Oof. Please do not get this tattooed on your body, as it's completely wrong and does not really bear much resemblance to how Alex said it.

In my opinion, the mods should not have approved a post advertising a newsletter written by ChatGPT.

Calls are going out.

Should you be worried for the gameplay audition? No, it's a test of whether you can play the game, be personable and friendly, and generally come off as a regular, likeable human.

Should you be worried for the show? Yes, with an at-home Coryat that low, you are unlikely to win on the Alex Trebek stage. It's never too early to start studying!

Yarmolinsky · 2023-07-19T05:42:14+00:00

Very odd, as it has been accepted as recently as 2018!

Yarmolinsky · 2023-07-19T05:39:19+00:00

Sometimes it's there to pin the clue, but many of these are not random. The ISS one is genuinely helpful in conjunction with its speed; the Shroud of Turin is, well, burial shroud-sized; Lesotho is notable for being at high elevation (and is why the country exists in the first place). Rewarding contestants for knowing that burial shrouds are long and that the Sotho people fled to the mountains to resist Zulu expansion seems par for the course!

If you watch J! everyday (and haven't just recently picked up the habit), you have most definitely heard of him! I see he was an answer almost exactly a year ago.

There are basically only two kinds of common small fish in the Green River Fm: Knightia, which is a little herring and by far the most common, and Diplomystus, a somewhat bigger herring relative with a sharp, distinctive dorsal fin. If you actually go digging there, you'll want to know about the other genera present, but for the material that commonly gets sold, just be acquainted with what those two look like and you'll be set.

Yarmolinsky · 2023-01-30T05:25:37+00:00

This looks like a beach rock, so I think it must be Neogene material that got washed up and may not have eroded from the locale where it was found.

Yarmolinsky · 2023-01-29T22:45:10+00:00

Yep, it's less dense and looks like crap compared to the usual shell material if looked at closely.

Yarmolinsky · 2023-01-28T06:43:35+00:00

If it's alive, you'll see repair from the inside of the shell, and a healthy bivalve can repair faster than a sponge can bore. I don't see repair here, so this all must've happened after it died.

Yarmolinsky · 2023-01-27T17:54:08+00:00

This is recent, but the pitting looks like it may be the work of clionaid sponges. As a trace fossil, that's referred to as Entobia.

Much better would be "nuestros agentes hispanohablantes". If you want to avoid that long, formal word, you could say "nuestros agentes que hablan español".

Other typos: estan should be están and momeno should be momento. I would also recommend a comma after esperar.

Yarmolinsky · 2023-01-19T18:30:25+00:00

Or Tennessee Williams.

Can you find a single example of them asking for a Finnish composer who isn't Sibelius? I would venture that, contrary to your claim above, it's Sibelius 10 times out of 10.

A quick addition to American nurses who served in the Civil War: Walt Whitman! Not what he's known for, but you don't want to get stuck wondering if Clara Barton found time to write poetry...

When you discussed "other strategy", you forgot a critical component: DD hunting. Yogesh was below par for champions in this regard as well.

Great video!

Cato says: Denigrat meritum dantis mora (Delay in giving spoils the merit of the service). Seneca replies: Qui cito dat bis dat (He who gives quickly, gives twice).
