The Blue Rigi at Sunrise - no wonder Ruskin adored Turner! 1842 watercolour at the Tate Britain exhibition now

Great news Richard! I’ll be really interested to learn about everything you uncover at the Sedgwick Museum.

Memorable visit to Torquay Museum, Brixham cave and Kent’s Cavern thanks to Christinefarmer.bsky.social and @hoggroup.bsky.social

This evening at the Museum you can attend the free talk ‘Breaking Ground’ and Beyond: A Century of Women and Geology at OUMNH 1813-1914 -- 6PM

This talk will show that there’s another side to the history of science at OUMNH there hides a long tradition of women contributing to scientific research.

Do send me an email address here and I will share mine.

Yes- the hammer protruding from his pocket!

#otd the Oxford geologist William Buckland was born 1784.
He first came to public attention with his ‘hyenas’ den’ theory, following the Kirkdale cave discoveries in Yorkshire, 1821 #@morethanadodo @hoggroup.bsky.social

Congrats Elly! Superb achievement 😍

And the specimen is on display in the Ashmolean today …
