Cycadeoids are an extinct group of Cycads, a family of Gymnosperms. Thriving during the Mesozoic period, from the Triassic to the Cretaceous, they are now extinct. The most important European collection of fossil Cycadeoids is preserved in the Geological Museum "Giovanni Capellini" of the University of Bologna, in Bologna, Italy. The collection includes specimens from all over the world, including local fossils from the "Chaotic Complex" of the Apennines of Emilia-Romagna.
This picture in particular represents Cycadoidea etrusca, so named because it was found within an Etruscan tomb, and given to Giovanni Capellini in 1878. G. R. Wieland in 1916 wrote that "... this fossil has some claim to be regarded as having had the longest-known history of which there is any record in all the annals of paleontology."
The tomb was part of the Etruscan city of Misa, nearby present-day village of Marzabotto. It was found by a meander of the Reno River, some 20 miles/30 km southwest of Bologna.

"Silicified" means, in this case, that the organic material of this plant has been replaced, molecule by molecule, by SiO2, or silica. Hence, all the details of the original plant have been preserved, although in minerals and not organic tissue.

Mount Scott is an extinct volcano in the Cascade Range, a north-south linear chain of otherwise active and potentially active volcanoes in America's Pacific Northwest. It extends from northern California to Oregon, Washington State, and into British Columbia, Canada. The Cascade Range formed as a result of tectonic subduction - the offshore Juan de Fuca Plate is diving below the North American Plate. The diving plate causes melting in the mantle. The melt rises and emerges at the surface at volcanic centers. Famous Cascade Range volcanoes include Mt. St. Helens, which had a large eruption in May 1980, Mt. Rainier near Seattle, Mt. Hood, which is the highest peak in Oregon, and Mt. Mazama, which destroyed itself 7,700 years ago in an enormous eruption that produced the modern-day Crater Lake Caldera.
Mount Scott Volcano is a relatively small, eroded stratovolcano east of Crater Lake Caldera (= formerly Mount Mazama) in southwestern Oregon. The rocks are principally porphyritic dacites of Middle Pleistocene age. Published isotopic dates of Mount Scott dacites range from 355 to 422 ka.
------------------------------
Partial description from Bacon (2008):
Porphyritic medium-gray dacite (63.5 - 67% SiO2; most ≥65%) erupted from Mount Scott and related vents to the east. Unit grades from pyroclastic breccia and agglutinate sheets high on Mount Scott itself to massive lava distally and is everywhere characterized by basaltic andesitic enclaves (≥50 centimeters; 53.5 - 56.5% SiO2), which are abundant in some exposures. Greatest concentration of enclaves in outcrops on southeast ridge of Mount Scott, in which enclaves are virtually touching, suggests ejection as rigid clasts in eruptive fountains and accumulation in near-vent agglutinate, followed by flowage.
Textures result from mixtures of varying proportions of silicic melt, undercooled enclave material, cumulate crystal mush, and gabbroic microxenoliths. Phenocrysts (25 - 30%): plagioclase (≥5 millimeters), augite (≥1.2 millimeters, rarely to 5 millimeters), orthopyroxene (≥1.2 millimeters), and Fe-Ti oxides (≥0.2 millimeters) in a glassy to very fine grained groundmass. Least silicic flows contain ~10% phenocrysts and ~20% 0.1 - 0.4 millimeters plagioclase laths and pyroxene crystals, apparently derived from enclaves. Enclave fragments are ubiquitous, commonly accounting for several percent of a cut surface. Many of the abundant gabbroic and diabasic microxenoliths and crystal aggregates (≥8 millimeters) contain olivine (typically ≥1.5 millimeters, rarely to 4 millimeters). Intensely altered to residual silica + minor specular hematite locally on Mount Scott; clinopyroxene + K-feldspar present in vugs and on fracture surfaces and replaces groundmass of rock in lowest exposures in cirque. Lava flows extend 8 kilometers east of Mount Scott.
K-Ar ages: 422±10 ka, west side of cirque; 416±7 ka, east flank; 355±8 ka, ~5,650 feet elevation east of Mount Scott.

This image presents a 3D captured view of life on the seafloor, 460 million years ago in Minnesota, USA. At this time, Minnesota was underwater, and hosted a diverse group of marine animals in a reef-like environment. On this small specimen, we can see the trilobite Dolichoharpes minnesotense, a coiled gastropod (relative of modern snails), and several individual corals. I took this image using photogrammetry – a cheap, accessible technique which produces 3D models by stitching together tens of photographs taken from different angles. I will use this 3D trilobite model to reconstruct how it lived and its method of feeding by simulating water flow around it. Fossils such as this are important for showing palaeontologists how different extinct animals lived together, and are remarkable for preserving an instant in time from before even land animals existed!
Southsea's dinosaur was destroyed by fire last night. Vandalism is suspected but an electrical fault could be to blame. Dino had lighting panels under his belly and maybe one of these got ripped off in the rain and gale-force winds, allowing water to get into the electrics. Once alight, the polyester skin burned rapidly, leaving only the charred steel skeleton. Sad day - not only for Southsea but also for the Brighton-based designers and the Serbian car-workers who built him.

Encrinite (crinoidal packstone) from the Mississippian of Kentucky, USA.
The Ft. Payne Formation of southern Kentucky is richly fossiliferous and is dominated by crinoids. Crinoids ("sea lilies") are sessile, benthic, filter-feeding, marine invertebrates that were abundant in Paleozoic oceans. The group nearly went extinct at the Permian-Triassic mass extinction 251 million years ago. Crinoids are not common in modern oceans - they are usually deep-water forms now, but some shallow-water forms also exist today. A crinoid is essentially a starfish on a stick. The stick, or stem, lifts the organism to a moderately high tier above the seafloor, which is conducive to non-competitive filter feeding. The flower-like "head" of the crinoid consists of numerous cemented calcite plates that surround the digestive system and other soft parts. The arms are feather-like and are the structures that engage in filter-feeding. In the fossil record, crinoid stems are common, whereas crinoid heads are uncommon to rare, because they disaggregate quickly after death. Individual pieces of a crinoid stem are called columnals - they are usually somewhat shaped like poker chips. Each columnal is composed of a single crystal of calcite (CaCO3 - calcium carbonate).
The limestone shown above is almost entirely composed of crinoid columnals. Such crinoidal limestones are called "encrinites".

Stratigraphy: Ft. Payne Formation, Osagean Stage, upper Lower Mississippian
Locality: Cave Springs South outcrop - lakeside exposure just south of the westernmost tip of Cave Springs Ridge, north-central Lake Cumberland, southeastern Russell County, southern Kentucky, USA

Extinct Symbol tattooed onto both my thumbs. This is part of a project I am working on to raise awareness of the biodiversity disaster currently ongoing in Turkey (over 4,000 Hydro electricity Power Plants and dams being developed across the whole of Turkey) and to raise funds for Doğa Derneği (Birdlife International's partner in Turkey). I have had 16 iconic birds tattooed onto my arms and hands (with another five to go). The extinct symbols on my thumbs serve as a reminder that some of these species could well face global extinction if these developments are allowed to continue.

Cynthiacetus is an extinct genus of basilosaurid early whale that lived during the Upper Eocene (Bartonian-Priabonian, 40.4 to 33.9 million years ago.) Specimens has been found in the south-eastern United States, Egypt and Peru.
The skull of Cynthiacetus was similar in size and morphology to that of Basilosaurus, but Cynthiacetus lacked the elongated vertebrae of Basilosaurus.
This fossil skeleton is on display at the Gallery of Paleontology and Comparative Anatomy, part of the Museum of Natural History, in Paris, France.
White Rock Mineral Springs Company was founded in 1871 in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Although the company still exists, it is now based in Whitestone, New York, and I doubt they still bottle the same naturally "lithiated" mineral water from the spring in Waukesha. In fact they now advertise that their seltzers are triple-filtered and have no sodium.
This old-style bottle dates from the 1940s and has attracted an equally extinct consumer with a dinosaur sized thirst.
