Step back in time to the Cretaceous period and discover an incredible piece of history: a fossilized dinosaur egg nest from Cairanoolithus dughii! Found in France, this remarkable relic gives us a glimpse into the lives of dinosaurs that roamed the region millions of years ago.
The nest contains the perfectly preserved eggs, showcasing the meticulous care these ancient creatures took in nesting. The species Cairanoolithus dughii is known for its distinctively thick eggshells, which offered robust protection to the developing eggs inside.
Fossils like these are more than just remnants of the past- they are a window into prehistoric eco systems and parenting behaviors.

Happy Carl Sagan Day on this !
Carl Sagan, one of my great heroes, was born on this day, November 9th in 1934.
What a great mind!
To celebrate, I decided to pretend that I was showing him my Celestial friend Fu, who is my favorite object in Geoworld Gallery. What can I say? I am space rock obsessed.

There was but one thing that I wanted more than anything on this trip: to drive down the PCH at sunset, find a rad place to stop, and watch said sunset.
Objective acquired.

About last night…
The original “Godzilla”, directed by Ishirō Honda in 1954, at the Loft Cinema.
One of the few films which has trilobites in it. I always have thought of Godzilla as a kaiju Spinosaurus. Epic film, so says this nerd. It should be a part of every paleo-geek’s repertoire.
Cinematic brilliance.

Bustling and busy “Crowd” evokes excitement and energy.At first glance, gogottes may appear as man-made sculptures. In fact, they are rare sandstone rocks painstakingly excavated from an ancient sand dune near Fontainebleau in Northern France. The ebb and flow of water through the sands “sculpts” each curve and contour. The concretion of quartz and silica lends an almost pure white appearance, enhanced by the custom-made lustrous black base. “Crowd,” delights with every exhilarating turn.
