By the way - this weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving. Now I kinda know the historic foundations of the whole American holiday which occurs a month later because of a huge climate difference. 

Basically this holiday is about giving thanks for the fall harvest, a thanks to our planet earth for providing us with life sustaining food. The other essentials of life are air, water and a roof.

And hopefully living through this Pandemic.

Odd that I missed that one.  I know I had a header for it last year.

I'll make it up to you with fossils.

Here are some others that I worked on in similar Jurassic material:

Coccolithophores:
