no, not like ‘stupid’ brain damage. your emotions become so stressful your brain starts getting a little numb to them. you start experiencing higher rates of apathy. you can also have further trouble with memory and problem-solving.
This is a vibrantly colored slice of Araucarioxylon arizonicum petrified wood from Arizona. It’s Late Triassic in age and displays beautiful purple, red, and orange colorations. One side has been polished to a mirror like finish and it comes with an acrylic display stand.
The vibrant coloration is due to the contaminating minerals in the silica which replaced the original wood structure. For example pinks and reds are due to hematite, a form of oxidized iron. This is similar petrified would which is found in the Petrified Forest National Park. The petrified forest encompasses nearly 100k acres and this wood comes from land outside of the park.
This is an amazing piece, collected this past summer from one of the fossil fish quarries near Kemmerer, Wyoming. It is a perfect, positive and negative split on large palm (Sabalites) frond. Splits like this practically never happen, and most palm fronds available from these quarries are heavily restored (aka painted palms). Not this one, check out the photos and video of it being found for proof.
Each side of the rock measures 40" tall, 36" wide and is back with wood with wall mounting hardware installed. This piece would make for a very impressive display.
This is a beautiful, 1.4" long, prone example of a rare Ordovician trilobite from the Putilovo Quarry. It’s a Niobella lindstroemi, with very nice preservation. There is only some very minor restoration on two pleural tips on the right hand side.
Trilobites were a very diverse group of extinct marine arthropods. They first appeared in the fossil record in the Early Cambrian (521 million years ago) and went extinct during the Permian mass extinction (250 million years ago). They were one of the most successful of the early animals on our planet with over 25k described species, filling nearly every evolutionary niche. Due in large part to a hard exoskeleton (shell), they left a excellent fossil record.
Philando Castile was gunned down when he was legally carrying a firearm…
How is that story real?! Bringing guns to school?!
If you can afford to be silent about this, you have white privilege too. If you don’t call this racist bs out, you’re condoning it. PUBLICALLY condemn this girl and the inherent racism of this act.
ACTUALLY I’M GONNA REBLOG THIS A SECOND TIME because this is Kent State, guys. Kent State. The school where four students were shot to death in the 70′s for protesting war.
That Kent State.
This is unbelievable.
kent state student here. this moron is planning an open carry walk on campus on september 29, despite no longer being a student here. the university sent her a cease and desist letter because the event was not promoted by a student organization. now it is being promoted by a student organization: liberty hangout, which was founded by her boyfriend, who I believe still runs it. the university charged liberty hangout $14,300 to be able to do this, and somehow that was no barrier to her. fucking horseshit. fuck this girl, fuck her boyfriend, and fuck kent state for allowing her to do this
i still can’t believe ksu is allowing this tbh. i’m staying so far away from kent in general on the 29th and if you’re not directly protesting, i’d suggest my local pals stay away too, downtown and campus alike. i can’t imagine what kind of deranged assholes will be nearby for this.
Thor, turning to Tony: He says this stupid damn city needs more flowers and pollen-bearing plants because you’re making him have to work a 16-hour shift every day just to feed his wife and kids
Tony: What the fuck Thor we’ve talked about this
Dog: *Bark bark bark*
Thor, sternly: No, Captain America’s pants are not fit for consumption
Steve, with no idea that Thor can speak dog: ???!?!????!!!??
Fly: *hums*
Thor, leaping from his chair: Oh what the FUCK did you say about my hair?? Oh you want to fuckign go do you?? Is that what you fucking want??? Well Step the FUCK UP then you stupid ass buzzy BITCH *summons lightning*
DUM-E: *Beep boops*
Thor, patting Tony on the back: well done my friend
Tony: For what?
Thor: Your robot is telling me all about how well his dad oiled up his joints this morning and keeps saying ‘I love him’ on repeat. He has been doing this for an hour.
Tony, immediately tearing up: oh my fucking god Thor
This is an incredibly rare, monster Megalodon tooth found several years ago in the Morgan River near Beaufort, South Carolina. It’s an astounding 6.70" long (actually 6.698" to be precise), is sharply serrated and great symmetry. A tooth like this would be considered a “a once in a lifetime” find for die-hard, Meg tooth divers and a “something you’ll never find” for most who aren’t actively out collecting every week.
This is the largest Megalodon tooth we have ever had for sale and one of the largest you will find for sale ANYWHERE in the world. Please do your homework and see exactly how rare this tooth is. Of course it’s expensive but a bargain price given the rarity of this specimen.
