This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Chasmosaurus

Discovered in Canada in 1898 by Lawrence Morris Lambe of the Geological Society of Canada. He named Monoclonius belli.

In 1913, Charles Hazelius Sternberg and his sons found several complete skulls. They tried to reclassify it as Protorosaurus, but that name was used by a Permian reptile.
Forced to rename it again, they settled on Chasmosaurus, meaning "Opening" "Lizard".

Just an opportunistic, fun, single shot on my way to birding, as the moon was setting in the morning. That’s a big bird alright.😉

So here’s a thing about #maplesugaring The sap has curious properties. As you boil it down, it produces a mineral type material called niter; it tastes like an old sock, which is why we filter the syrup three times.
It also spoils; think milk. So cold temperature storage works.
Water in the sap freezes first, so if the sap freezes in storage, outside in, you take the ice out, and you have sap already concentrated. Boiling is shorter.
Cool, no?

Happy St. Patrick's Day #Sláinte 🇮🇪🍻☘️

Climate strike week 239. #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike #TomorrowIsTooLate #StopEACOP

Ingenious, Indigenous cartography: The Tunumiit (Eastern Greenlandic Inuit) practice of carving portable maps out of driftwood to be used while navigating coastal waters. These pieces, which are small enough to be carried in a mitten, represent coastlines in a continuous line, up one side of the wood and down the other. The maps are compact, buoyant, and can be read in the dark.

Last night we gave 64 people a quick 1.5 hour “learn to curl” (two separate sessions of 32 each) in preparation for the #HowardCenter #Rotary #DragonHeartVT 🥌 #Curling 🥌 Challenge on Saturday (March 18) at the Cairns arena in South Burlington, #Vermont. Tonight we’ll do it again for another 64 people! And then they’ll all play in games on Saturday.

Almost everyone had NOT curled before, so it was fun to see their excitement!

And the common refrain: “This is SO much harder than it looks!” 🤣

A lovely way to start the day, great work and a pleasure having you both in!
Thanks again.

Friendly reminder that using those 'fancy text' generators to make your name or the text in your posts all pretty makes them inaccessible to screen reader users.
to you, they're just cute lettering you can just skip over. For a screen reader user like me, depending on various things, they could come out as
'mathematical small bold k mathematical small bold a mathematical small bold r mathematical small bold a',
'letter 126b letter 17dj letter 13y7dwiz'
or nothing at all.
I'm not sure off the top of my head how they appear on a Braille display but it's bound to be a right mess.
I don't particularly call any of those pretty, do you?
Plain boring text that is accessible to everyone is the new pretty.

Looks like the penguins in the wall on the Kelvin Walkway in Glasgow are already getting into the spirit of St Patrick's day with Guinness for breakfast!

Glacial Erratic

A glacial erratic is a rock that has been transported by glacial flow, and in some cases can be found hundreds of miles away from its original location. As a result, its lithology can be radically different from the place it was brought by its icy transportation - a stranger in a strange land. These wayward rocks can range in size from pebbles to boulders bigger than busses. Bonus: they can end up in weird places, precariously balanced, and in general, out of place as heck.
