Prehistoric 'Giant Goose' Skull Found in Australia
The skull of a prehistoric "giant goose" has been discovered in Australia.
It belongs to a now extinct giant flightless bird that weighed 230kg (36 stone) - about five times as much as an emu.
The 45,000- to 50,000-year- old fossil is the most complete skull of a Genyornis newtoni to have been discovered.
And researchers say the “stunningly rare find” will give them insight into what the bird looked like.
"Realising it was an intact skull was just so satisfying," lead author of the study, in the journal Historical Biology, Dr Phoebe McInerney, of Flinders University, Adelaide, said.
"I thought, 'Oh my gosh, this is amazing - we actually found one'.
"The Genyornis has been known [about] for 128 years - and now we've actually got a skull for it."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The 32cm (1ft) skull was found, in 2019, in the dry beds of Lake Callabonnam - a remote region of inland South Australia where thousands of animals once became stuck in the mud - attached to an almost complete fossilised body of the bird.
The only other known skull for this species, reported on in 1913, was heavily damaged and had only a small amount of the original bone, so little could be gleaned from it.
But this latest discovery reveals these giant birds had:
a massive cranium.
large upper and lower jaws.
an unusual casque, like a helmet, on the top of their head.
They also had a wide gape, strong bite and could crush soft plants and fruit on the roof of their mouth.
Genyornis newtoni is a relative of the Australian magpie goose but evolved before them in a separate lineage and is more closely related to the South American screamer species.
Unravelling its relationship to other species had been complex, Dr McInerney said, but the new find had enabled researchers to start to "piece together the puzzle, which shows, simply put, this species to be a giant goose”.
The last of the large, flightless mihirungs, or thunderbirds, native to Australia, they roamed the outback at the same time as other giant creatures, including lizards and kangaroos, and when the first humans arrived, about 50,000 years ago.
And the size and appearance of this "weird and wonderful" bird would have made it "quite a sight to see," according to Dr McInerney.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jacob Blokland, who has created a scientifically accurate reconstruction of the about 2m (6ft) bird, said: “Using modern birds as comparatives, we are able to put flesh back on the fossils and bring them back to life.”
The researchers also discovered the giant birds had many unusual adaptations for aquatic habitats, protecting their ears and throat from water when submerged.
And they said this could have led to their extinction, some 45,000 years ago, as fresh water bodies in northern South Australia were now mostly salt lakes.
Dr Gerald Mayr, an ornithologist at the Senckenberg Research Institute, Frankfurt, said fossil bird skulls were "stunningly rare" and this "extraordinary find" provided insights into the role the giant bird played within the Australian ecosystem at the time.

Fossil Novembirb 3: Race to the Sea
Among the rapidly diverging groups of dinosaurs right after the end-Cretaceous extinction were quite a few groups that went "hey, the ocean... it's full of food... let's go there"
And the ways they went there? Multifaceted and Fascinating
Today, we know of plenty of different types of marine birds, around the world. But in the Paleocene, the hotspot of marine bird evolution was Aotearoa, aka Zealandia.
Here, many early marine birds evolved, stretching out their wings in one way or another to grab the nearest available food sources. One common way modern birds live on the sea is by soaring - rarely touching ground, living their lives over the water, looking for food.
And this mode of life appears to have evolved early, with the first tropicbirds evolving right out the gate with Clymenoptilon. And it wasn't alone among flighted marine birds! Protodontopteryx, the first pseudotoothed bird, is also known from the Paleocene of Aotearoa.
Tumblr media
Protodontopteryx by @otussketching
Pseudotoothed birds are one of the most common clades of fossil bird, having thrived in marine habitats across the world until the start of the Pleistocene. Like all modern birds, they weren't able to just re-develop teeth, as the gene for enamel had been lost. However, they - like many other birds that eat on slippery or finnicky prey - worked around that by evolving fake "teeth", or projections, on the parts of their body they did still have.
Most living birds evolve such things as lamellae, aka, little pointy bits on their tongues.
Pseudotoothed birds did so by evolving jagged edges out of their jaws.
And the early Paleocene is where that all started!
That said, Protodontopteryx does not seem suited to soaring flight, and probably lived most similarly to living albatross, selecting targeted prey and sticking close to the shore - the start of a long love affair with the ocean for the clade.
Tumblr media
Waimanu by Nobu Tamura
Of course, the reason we're all here is penguins. Penguins are some of the most charismatic birds today, even dubbed the "pinnacle of dinosaurian evolution" by one Dr. Thomas Holtz. And they appeared right away in the Paleocene, showing up just after the impact event - and showcasing a dramatically rapid evolution towards fully marine life.
Early penguins were weird transitional birds, a cross between a normal Neoavian and their later shape, which looks remarkably like living loons and divers. The first penguins we have, Waimanu and Kupoupou, were very similar to modern penguins - so we don't exactly know how this transition started, or when penguins eventually lost flight. Muriwaimanu, however, did show a different form of swimming through the water, indicating that modern penguins developed it later.
Though, they fly through the water, so it's not like they lost it for nothing!
Tumblr media
Kumimanu by Nobu Tamura
The ocean, though depleted from the asteroid impact, recovered faster than the land, and was filled with a variety of food items that these different kinds of birds could feed on. Molluscs, Crustaceans, worms, and fish were all available, allowing Aotearoa to host a diverse flock of marine birds, and for penguins to diversify rapidly.
Because, quickly after the evolution of the first penguins, we start to see more and more - and they were huge. Kumimanu was much bigger than living penguins, and Sequiwaimanu had legs similar to other large penguins found in the region.
This was just the start of the Golden Age of Penguins, and we'll revisit them later. We have some other giant birds to meet first...

Oz characters who could kill Macbeth:
Dorothy Gale
The Scarecrow
Betsy Bobbin
Billina
Eureka
Mayre "Trot" Griffiths
Princess Ozma
All the Witches of Oz
The Sawhorse
Jack Pumpkinhead
Bungle the Glass Cat
General Jinjur
Nimmie Amee
Scraps the Patchwork Girl
The Phonograph
Queen of the Field Mice
Polychrome
Thoughts? I didn't state the reasons for all of them bc I want you to have some stuff to do yourself.
LIGHTING ROUND: OZ (We'll be defaulting to the characters from the original novels, unless they were not in them, for the sake of simplicity)
Dorothy Gale: Yes. GC
The Scarecrow: Yes? Some interpretations say that his soul was that of a deceased emperor, though this is open to interpretation and somewhat contentious. The original novels never explain exactly who his creator was, but he most likely applies for UBC.
Betsy Bobbin: Yes. GC
Billina: Yes. GC, UBC (She's a hen)
Eureka: Yes. GC
Mayre "Trot" Griffiths: Yes. GC
Princess Ozma: Yes. GC
Witches: Yes. GC (Origins unknown)
Sawhorse: Yes. UBC, BPC? (Brought to life by Tip via Powder of Life; Tip is later revealed to be Ozma, so BPC is iffy)
Jack Pumpkinhead: Yes. UBC, BPC? (Same situation as previous)
Bungle the Glass Cat: Yes. GC, UBC, BPC (Genderless, created by Dr. Pipt via Powder of Life)
General Jinjur: Yes. GC (Certain interpretations say Munchkins grow from trees, though this was not in the original novels and is a much more modern invention. It would apply her for UBC if considered canon.)
Nimmie Amee: Yes. GC (Again, UBC is possible if you accept Muchkins growing from trees as canon)
Scraps the Patchwork Girl: Yes. GC, UBC (Created by Margolotte with quilts and fabric)
Victor Columbia Edison (The Phonograph): Yes. UBC, BPC? (I couldn't find exactly who brought him to life, but it was via the Powder of Life, and I assume it was either Ojo or Dr. Pipt)
Queen of the Field Mice: Yes. GC
Polychrome: Yes. GC
Tik-Tok: Yes. UBC, BPC (Robotic man created by Smith & Tinker)
Thank you for your submission!

Biólogos do Neodarwinismo
THEODOSIUS DOBZHANSKY
Foi um geneticista e evolucionista ucraniano, que chegou a dar aula na universidade de são Paulo (USP-Brasil), e recebeu o título de doutor honroris.
Quando em 1920 a 1935, matemáticos e experimentalistas começaram a estudar a fundo as recombinações genéticas do Darwinismo com a genética de Mendel, ele acabou por envolver-se com a pesquisa.
Ele estudou as Drosoplhila pseudoobscura , a mosca da fruta, em que observou a variedade genética das mesmas conforme os anos, e os meses, e percebeu que 40% nasciam na primavera, e 60% no verão e apresentando outros genes.
Comparando com diferentes gerações, ele percebeu variações genéticas conforme o mês, e chegou a conclusão do isolamento reprodutivo pós-zigótico, em que sabemos que o cruzamento de espécies diferentes pode até gerar hibrídos, no entanto não férteis, tendo então contribuído para o conceito de especiação.
O cientista além de defensor do Darwinismo, também contribuiu com os livros "Genetics and the Origin of Species (1937)", "The Biology of Ultimate Concern (1967)" e por fim "Genetics the Evolutionary Process(1970)", além de 400 "papers" sobre o assunto.
STEBBINS
Dr. G. Ledyard Stebbins Jr foi um biólogo, e dos principais botânicos do século XX, além de geneticista, estudou fósseis, e a história da evolução dos organismos somada a teoria de Charles Darwin, e contribuiu para com o Darwinismo.
Em 1950 escreveu o livro "Variation and Evolution in Plants", e no seu livro demonstrou um conhecimento enciclopédico de estudos botânicos, de fósseis a cromossomos, ao fornecer um argumento detalhado de que as plantas estavam sujeitas aos mesmos processos de evolução que os animais, uma ideia de que ainda hoje os biólogos tomam como um dado fatídico.
ERNST MAYR
Foi um biólogo alemão, assim como Darwin foi obrigado a entrar para o curso de medicina, no entanto sua grande paixão era a biologia, sobretudo o campo da Ornitologia.
Ele contribuiu para a divulgação do neodarwinismo, elaborou e conceituou espécie biológica, e também percebeu que a variação de espécimes advinha de migrações geográficas.
FRANCISCO AYALA
Biólogo um pouco controverso mas contribuiu com a junção entre o neordarwinismo e a religião, além do mais foi um crítico dos ideais sobre designer inteligente divino.
GEORGE GAYLORD SIMPSON
Foi um biólogo e paleontólogo estadunidense, seus estudos contribuíram para o entendimento de especiação por meio de migrações intercontinentais dos animais, além de compreensão da evolução de mamíferos na Era Mesozóica.
SEWALL WRIGHT
Foi um geneticista americano, estudou o cruzamento entre porcos, e ergueu as bases matemáticas para o entendimento de genética de populações, bem como se comportam por isolamento.
Tais biólogos foram parte da atividade da minha disciplina de História e Filosofia do Conhecimento Biológico, acabei por perder as referências biográficas, mas achei interessante para compartilhar.

additional info:
-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria
many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!
please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month

Radian
8.2.2025
Die Wiener Band Radian mit Martin Brandlmayr (dr, electr) und Martin Siewert (g, electr) verbindet schon seit vielen Jahren Postrock, Elektronik und Jazz. Relativ neu dabei war im Club Manu Mayr am Bass. Und das ist ein Trio mit perfektem Zusammenspiel und einem präzisem Drive. War sich Band und Veranstalter noch unsicher, ob man das Konzert bestuhlt oder unbestuhlt geben sollte, so entschied sich das durchaus zahlreich erschienene Publikum kurzfristig lieber zu sitzen. Das förderte zwar nicht den Bewegungsdrang, aber der ungeteilten Aufmerksamkeit der Gäste war es förderlich...

Das ist natürlich nur im übertragenen Sinn gemeint und bedeutet, dass uns jemand aus einem bestimmten Grund nicht mag oder nicht leiden kann. Unser Problem soll das nicht sein. Wenn uns aber die eigene Nase nicht passt und uns das bei jedem Blick in den Spiegel bewusst wird, dann müssen wir sehr wohl damit leben - oder uns einen Termin bei einem erfahren und renommierten Rhinoplastik-Spezialisten geben lassen. Der plastische Chirurg Dr. Mayr aus Linz-Leonding (Koppelweg 2) ist Spezialist, wenn es um die natürliche Verschönerung Ihrer Nase geht. Mit geübtem Blick erkennt der führende Rhinoplastik-Spezialist aus Oberösterreich, wo er ansetzen muss, und verhilft Ihnen so zu einer natürlich schönen Nase. Dr. Philipp Mayr ist spezialisiert auf Nasen-Ops bzw. Nassenkorrekturen, die natürlich schöne Ergebnisse mit sich bringen. Alle nötigen Informationen finden Sie auf der Website der Praxis unter https://www.plastischechirurgie-linz.at

Dr. Philipp Mayr
The two most common forms of Plastic Surgery are Reconstruction (fixing body parts that have been damaged) and Cosmetic (changing size shape or color of body parts without fixing damage). An example of reconstructive plastic surgery is fixing a part of the body that has been burned. An example of cosmetic plastic surgery is a surgery called a "Face-Lift" (pulling the skin of the face tight so that someone looks younger)https://www.plastischechirurgie-linz.at/
