Petroxestes pera Wilson & Palmer, 1988 - bivalve borings in the Ordovician of Ohio, USA.
These slit-shaped structures are borings made by fossil clams. Borings are one of many categories of trace fossils - any indirect evidence of ancient life. Other examples of trace fossils include burrows, tracks, trails, footprints, and bitemarks. Traces (also called ichnofossils) record the behavior of ancient organisms. Trace fossils are given scientific names in a similar style as living organisms or body fossils.
The Petroxestes borings shown here near Cincinnati, Ohio were made by the bivalve Corallidomus scobina. Bivalves are bilaterally symmetrical molluscs having two calcareous, asymmetrical shells (valves) - they include the clams, oysters, and scallops. In most bivalves, the two shells are mirror images of each other (the major exception is the oysters). They occur in marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments. Bivalves are also known as pelecypods and lamellibranchiates.
Bivalves are sessile, benthic organisms - they occur on or below substrates. Most of them are filter-feeders, using siphons to bring in water, filter the water for tiny particles of food, then expel the used water. The majority of bivalves are infaunal - they burrow into unlithified sediments. In hard substrate environments, some forms make borings, in which the bivalve lives. Some groups are hard substrate encrusters, using a mineral cement to attach to rocks, shells, or wood.
The fossil record of bivalves is Cambrian to Recent. They are especially common in the post-Paleozoic fossil record.
Petroxestes borings very rarely have a bivalve body fossil still occupying the slit. The type specimen of Petroxestes pera is a boring incised into a solid, calcareous, bryozoan colony. The examples shown here were drilled into a carbonate hardground, which is a synsedimentarily-cemented surface directly exposed on the seafloor. Some hard-substrate seafloor surfaces are composed of other rock types - such as basalt - and are called rockgrounds. Many marine hardground environments were in moderately high-energy, relatively shallow water. Organisms occupying such settings frequently physically attached themselves to the hardground seafloor (= encrusters) or drilled into the substrate (= borers).
Petroxestes pera borings were sometimes so abundant on ancient Cincinnatian hardgrounds that early stratigraphers called the surfaces "turkey tracks", in reference to their similar appearance with certain bird footprints (e.g., see: www.flickr.com/photos/jsjgeology/26798916929).
That the term "turkey track" referred to Petroxestes hardgrounds has been forgotten over the decades. Modern Cincinnatian geologists misidentify Trichophycus venosum-burrowed surfaces as the "turkey tracks" of old - I've seen this in the literature and in museum exhibits.
The best true turkey track layer I know of is the one shown here - it's an extensive horizon at Caesar Creek Lake State Park in Ohio. Exposures and talus blocks can be seen in the emergency spillway and along the Flat Fork trail and at creek cuts along Flat Fork itself. Some of the best examples in the spillway have been vandalized. The only occurrences I have seen for certain are in the upper Waynesville Formation. I have also encountered this, or a similar, horizon in the Waynesville Formation near Dayton, Ohio.
Stratigraphy: Turkey Track Layer, upper Waynesville Formation, Richmondian Stage, upper Cincinnatian Series, upper Upper Ordovician
Locality: talus block along the cut wall of Caesar Creek Lake's emergency spillway (between Clarksville Road and Roaring Run), northeastern Warren County, southwestern Ohio, USA
The young eagle caught the fish and his ? Mom/Dad pushed him away from it. Mom ate the fish and then junior came to challenge her for it. Amazing to watch, but very far away. All five family members showed up for the after drama.

The hit American boy band Mindless Behavior finished off their first tour of this country with their final concert before returning to America at Enfield Grammar School, as a guest of the Student Council. The band, a massive success in America, with over a million followers on twitter and a huge fan base on You Tube, were in England on a promotional tour.
As part of our links with the local community we invited both students from St Anne’s and Enfield County to attend. The band performed four hits off their debut album that is presently at number seven in the American Album chart, followed by a question and answer session and autograph signing. Over 400 boys and girls from the schools were chosen by their Heads of Year to see the band as a reward to recognise their excellent efforts and behaviour in the last few months.
Well done to everyone who helped organise this event particularly all Grammar Sixth Form prefects who gave up their time to help stage the event.

On this day each time the whales went to the shallower part of the river, they created a lot of white water splashing. Then I could see the Mom roll over like a dog scratching its back.

Do you see what the Pyrrholoxia is feasting on? Even though my three dogs chose the moment to run up to the patio not 6 feet from him? He loves my Jalopenos. A taste we share! But I enjoy the spicy heat of the capsaicin, and as a bird, he lacks the receptors to feel that kind of heat. Mice on the other hand are mammals and do not like hot peppers at all, so they leave the fruit alone. Perfect, they would only chew the seeds to pieces. Birds swallow the seeds whole and pass them along , making them the ideal dispersers of the seeds.

some of what I've been doing today: this is a video of phototactic pehaviour in Daphnia magna. With red light alone, daphnias have the tendency to stay close to the bottom of the flask. As soon as the blue light comes on they start swimming upwards, and when the blue light goes off they immediately cease phototaxis.
Among our friends, Pablo's ability and downright eagerness to sleep anywhere is very well known. Here, the source of this behavior is laid bare for all to see. Driving back from P-town the Ecuadorians check out.

the black one kept smashing the brown one's head with each ferocious head-butt - but the brown one kept coming back for more! And check out those erect udders!
It was only a matter of being ready, in trying some new digital enhancement techniques. Please have a look in Large.
A picture of the menu at the stand where I bought my lunch on Opening Day of baseball season at Yankee Stadium.
This Hummer is sporting a rufous supercilium and the beginnings of a dark spot in the central lower gorget. Both of these features are valuable ID clues. I believe her to be an juvenile Rufous female... they trail somewhat the males Rufous Hummers on their southward migration trek. The juvies also are flying south at this time and both sexes look a lot like Mom. IDing the ages and sexes of the youngsters can be daunting. The sex of these youngsters is more uncertain until they age a trifle more along with their gorget and tail pattern changes, i.e., if the gorget spot widens, I would have to concede that it is male. At least for me, these are iffy ID times for the juvies of this species.

The males of this species are well known for their aggressive behavior. While slightly smaller than our resident breeders up here (Broad-tail), they typically assume ownership of our feeders on their arrival in the fall from their Pacific Northwest breeding area... we see them only during their fall migration. Many of our Broad-tailed male Hummers simply cede the feeders. This year, the migrating Rufous Hummers occasionally seemed to outnumber our local breeding Broad-taileds.

This is a Tutelina elegans male, the jumping spider with the weird "eyebrows". After spotting this ant, in order to get to it, the spider took a route behind a stem, peered around the stem and then finally started to make his move.
But having snuck up on this meal, he was hesitant to pounce. At first I thought the spider hesitated because the spider was not very smart and a bit of a bumbler.
After some research, it looks like the ant could be an acrobat ant (Crematogaster). After noticing the spider, the ant went into "alarm posture" www.alexanderwild.com/Ants/Natural-History/Communication/.... I can't say for sure what the ant is thinking but wikipedia says: "When in conflict, acrobat ants can release a venom by flexing their abdominal regions. The effectiveness of the venom varies greatly with the opposer to the ant." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crematogaster
After capturing the ant, the Tutelina did what seemed to be a "happy dance", at times putting one or both front legs up, or hoisting the ant into the air. I've never seen a spider emote in such a way so maybe the "dance" served some other purpose.
