The asteroid #Bennu has been "frozen" in time, giving us a rare snapshot of the rock record from over 4.5 billion years ago ☄️🪨 🌎 And the sample lands tomorrow!

It’s happening! A capsule with a sample from asteroid ☄️ Bennu is landing in Utah on Sunday morning. (Also there are now USPS stamps!) Tune in on @nasa social and digital channels to watch the live show Sunday at 10am ET nasa.gov

Small holes in the T rex’s jawbone may have transmitted nerve signals to the brain, similar to what happens in modern alligators and crocodiles 🐊 Join in the fun @ROMtoronto for T rex: Ultimate Predator #dinosaur #museumed

The oldest permafrost found is ~650,000 years old! Thank you @Katie_Bennett26 and @GirlsInScience for an exciting workshop🥶 Kiddo used coloured ice cubes, crushed crackers, and a friendly dinosaur to illustrate how melting permafrost affects our Earth 🌎

"The problem with treating fossil specimens like trophies or collectibles is that their real significance comes from the information in the bones, not from the object itself," says @umdgeology's @TomHoltzPaleo in this piece by @Newsweek: newsweek.com/t-rex-skeleton-…

LittaTraps help capture litter before it enters lakes 💦

Walking downtown in @cityoftoronto and see green paint on or by a storm drain? That means there’s an @enviropod_group LittaTrap inside #TrappingTrash!! These traps divert litter from storm water runoff before it enters #LakeOntario. @TRCA_HQ

Always a treat to see K/Pg boundary 🪨 ☄️
Alessandro Chiarenza (@AAlechiarenza) profile pictureAlessandro Chiarenza@AAlechiarenza2 Sep 2022
Love stumbling on the K/Pg boundary in the Hell Creek Formation. This black stripe of rocks is the physical, tangible evidence here in Montana of the asteroid impact that 66 million years ago killed off non-avian #dinosaurs, ending the Cretaceous world 🦖 ☄️ 🐁 🙊 #extinction
