Synapsida[a] is a diverse group of tetrapod vertebrates that includes all mammals and their extinct relatives. It is one of the two major clades of the group Amniota, the other being the more diverse group Sauropsida (which includes all extant reptiles and, therefore, birds). Unlike other amniotes, synapsids have a single temporal fenestra, an opening low in the skull roof behind each eye socket, leaving a bony arch beneath each; this accounts for the name “synapsid”.[8] “}}

Archosauria or archosaurs (/ˈɑːrkəˌsɔːr/[3]) is a clade of diapsid sauropsid tetrapods, with birds and crocodilians being the only known extant representatives. Although broadly classified as reptiles, which traditionally exclude birds, the cladistic sense of the term includes all living and extinct relatives of birds and crocodilians such as non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs, phytosaurs, aetosaurs and
rauisuchians as well as many Mesozoic marine reptiles. Modern paleontologists define Archosauria as a crown group that includes the most recent common ancestor of living birds and crocodilians, and all of its descendants.

The Palisades (Hudson River) – Wikipedia

December 23, 2025

QT:{{”
The basalt cliffs are the margin of a diabase sill, formed about 200 million years ago,[3] at the close of the Triassic period, by the intrusion of molten magma upward into sandstone.[4] The molten material cooled and solidified before reaching the surface. Water erosion of the softer sandstone left behind the columnar structure of harder rock that exists today. The cliffs are about 300 ft (100 m) thick in sections and originally may have reached 1,000 ft (300 m). “}}

Buckminsterfullerene, a sixty carbon soccer ball-shaped molecule, was discovered, named, and its structure deciphered over a ten day period of hectic activity by five scientists at Rice University in 1985. Three of these, Harry Kroto, Richard Smalley and Robert Curl, shared a Nobel Prize for its discovery in 1996. The story of the “buckyball” is an illustration of Louis Pasteur’s famous observation that chance favors the prepared mind.

Han van Meegeren – Wikipedia

QT:{{”
Henricus Antonius “Han” van Meegeren (Dutch pronunciation: [ɦɛnˈrikʏs ɑnˈtoːnijəs ˈɦɑɱ vɑ ˈmeːɣərə(n)]; 10 October 1889 – 30 December 1947) was a Dutch painter and portraitist, considered one of the most ingenious art forgers of the 20th century.[1] Van Meegeren became a national hero after World War II when it was revealed that he had sold a forged painting to Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.

Van Meegeren attempted to make a career as an artist, but art critics dismissed his work. He decided to prove his talent by forging paintings from the Dutch Golden Age. Leading experts of the time accepted his paintings as genuine 17th-century works, including art collector Abraham Bredius.
