My world lost a great one—Amber Cook was a pillar of the tabletop gaming space, and an inspiration. She made this place, and all her spaces, so much better for her presence.
Please if you can, support the son she leaves behind.

Crinoids, also known as the sea lilies, are one of the more charming and common fossils found globally, including here in Lyme Regis. But did you know that some crinoids wore SNAIL HATS? And the reason for that is quite unsavoury (and puzzled scientists for centuries)🐌💩 1/🧵

Today we dissected a giant waterlily flower-bud. The flower produces heat to attract beetles which are trapped overnight in a barred cell; here they are showered in pollen, then released the following day to take this pollen to another flower.
