Description: Hello all geologists, paleontologists, and science lovers! Deck out your water bottle or your laptop with this cute Placoderm. Although he looks like he is no thoughts head empty, this early fish was a heavily armored predator, with thick bony plates around its skull that helped protect it as it hunted down prey.

Description: Geoscience cross section with hard rock, soft rock, climate, and ocean science represented! Environmental sciences are inherently interconnected and it's important to recognize that collaboration, although I wish I had found a way to incorporate the field of biology into this.
Description: Crinoids are echinoderms, recognizable by their unique five-fold symmetry, that evolved in the Cambrian and are still around today! The feathery branching arms of this crinoid are anchored to the seafloor with a stem of calcium carbonate disks, while modern species are free-swimming.
