A wonderful party celebrating the career of Paul Smith, director of ⁦@morethanadodo⁩ — and what a cake!

@IGC2028Glasgow @igc2028canada Well done, you did Scotland proud bringing a remarkable country and nation with spectacular geology to a truly international forum. A great win, Calgary….what a cracking presentation, see you in 2028.

Congratulations to the @igc2028canada team for their successful bid to host IGC 2028 and all the best for a fantastic event! The #IGC2028Glasgow team have had a wonderful journey sharing Scottish geology with geologists all over the world - thank you for joining us!

Scottish isles may solve mystery of 'Snowball Earth' Fantastic news just in. Superbly detailed scientific study leading to a key proposal for Golden Spike status. Well done ⁦@theIUGS⁩ ⁦@geosociety⁩ ⁦@ThePalAss⁩ ⁦@GeolSoc⁩ bbc.com/news/articles/…

Super few days in beautiful Drôme celebrating @ICS2022 @theIUGS @DurUniEarthSci achievements. Not one but two Golden Spike dedications…the Albian and Hauterivian stages of the Cretaceous. Thanks to everyone involve especially the communities of Arnayon and La Charce. /2

@ICS2022 @theIUGS @DurUniEarthSci First the Hauterivian Stage of the Cretaceous../1

Almost 50 years to the day I (we) visited Castellane, my undergraduate mapping area of Mesozoic limestones and ‘Tertiary’ molasse. Thank you ⁦@imperialcollege⁩ for such a great opportunity ⁦@ICS2022⁩ ⁦@durham_uni⁩

@Trond_Torsvik I am sailing, I am sailing, home again ‘cross the sea……

@StaridasGeo @John_M_Nelson @ArcGISPro Super, using our ‘one point of truth colours’. Very many thanks!

Final result of my geological map. Color palette depicts the geological age of each formation according to the @ICS2022, shaded relief and contour lines created with raster functions on the #NASADEM, paper texture tiles by @John_M_Nelson #cARTography #MakingMapsPretty #ArcGISPro

MNCH director Todd Braje argues the recent failure of the @ICS2022 to formalize the term "Anthropocene" is an opportunity, not a loss. "Moving forward, [cross-disciplinary approaches] must create bridges between scientists and the public." shorturl.at/cflpG

@BryozoanNhm Super news!

New kids on the bryozoan curatorial block at the NHNUK – Leila D'Souza who is responsible for fossil bryozoans, and Abbie Herdman for recent bryozoans. Good to have them both on-board.

New 315-million-year old fossil found in Co. Clare! Irish palaeontologist, Dr Eamon Doyle, has discovered a new fossil sponge species in rocks near the Cliffs of Moher. To read about this amazing discovery check out the new Fossil News page on our website. ucc.ie/en/fossil-heri…

Here I save all #colors of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart @ICS2022 in a custom #style in #ArcGISPro to apply them on a geological map I am currently designing. #cARTography #MakingMapsPretty
