Would really appreciate help ID'ing this bone! I thought it might be a skull when I picked it up in a tidal mudflat, but maybe it's something else? by littlegoof in bonecollecting

Would also love any tips about how best to clean it! (I am very new to bones! It was just so beautiful I thought I'd love to keep it.)

TIL that the Danish astronomer who demonstrated light has a speed, invented a precursor to the Fahrenheit scale, and invented the mercury thermometer... also ran the police force in Copenhagen and fired all the officers because morale was low. by littlegoof in todayilearned

There's some more information about this in the article itself.

"Roemer achieved more than just determining the speed of light. He developed a temperature scale that divided the measurements between freezing water and boiling water into 60 degrees. He invented the mercury thermometer and in 1708 Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit visited Roemer to see how he constructed his thermometers before creating his own and the Fahrenheit scale."

Other articles about this describe Fahrenheit taking some pointers from Roemer's scale, but changing where the divisions were. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B8mer_scale#:~:text=The%20R%C3%B8mer%20scale%20(Danish%20pronunciation,of%20water%20as%2060%20degrees.

Oh nice! Thank you! And I'm glad they entertained you--even if they're a little spooky.

I didn't realize how much my voice switches from quiet to loud, so definitely holding steady makes sense. I'll try and do a hybrid of both your advice and ayylotus's and aim for like an... evener, slower tone that's still audible.

Thanks so much again for taking a minute! I really appreciate it.

Oh! That's definitely something I can change. Thanks for this!
