According to the History Blog report, she was seven years old (http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/50951 ). Here are images from that post showing her stony ammonite and the fictional Moana stone it reminds her of:

I’ve commented before on how the Trump regime’s failure to aid Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands after the hurricane was more than incompetence, it is part of a deliberate policy to foster venture capitalism and privatization of the islands, an ongoing for-profit scheme: https://theslot.jezebel.com/1821673054

So awful, so depressing, so shameful.

If he had the power - which he believes will be dropped into his lap by divine intervention - he’d have all those women dragged away.

Yep, they don’t call Pence “Q-tip Jeebus” for nothing. I’m sure he ignores the fact that the real Jesus and his followers would likely have been olive-skinned, dark-haired and brown-eyed. But then the name is only used as a prop to excuse whatever horrible, hateful moves they want to make. I’m not religious, but I…

The adults are so afraid of home invasion by immigrants, “mooslims,” dark-skinned people, everyone they’ve been trained to fear by right-wing media and political demagogues, they have loaded guns ready for “self-defense.”

Yes, he wants to bomb everybody all the time, a crazy person who has managed to hang around Republicans in power and make things even worse. But he is most especially rabid about destroying the Iran agreement and bombing the hell out of that country for ... reasons? As suggestible as Trump is, Bolton may well get…

I agree that Pence is a total horror who believes his personal omnipotent, omniscient god is supporting and directing all the evil he wants to do. He belongs to a group that prays daily for all remaining non-extremist Supreme Court judges to be “swept away” so racist fundamentalist fascists will fill the entire…

Trump’s world has no red lines, only what he wants, hates and fears in any given moment. That’s why he keeps firing anyone who dares to suggest to him that there are red lines he should not cross. There is no reality for him but his own, and it changes from moment to moment. Everything and everyone else are tools,…

I think the Trump lawyers are not serious about actually blocking the 60 min broadcast — what grounds could they possibly have to suppress freedom of speech so blatantly? No, I think this is a sham theatrical act aimed at the Trumpite base, accompanied by much screeching about the fake media unfairly harassing our…

Yeah, I’d like to see what they thought was better and suspect I might disagree.

Me too. He’ll always be stared at as a “freak” and is probably more fragile than most average-sized people. He doesn’t fit anywhere. And extremely tall people often have a bunch of health issues. I don’t like the thought of him in fast, rough professional basketball.

Well, he wants New York to lose power and influence and he wants that money to go to his stupid wall. The question is, will the New York-hating GOP Congress do something about this sorry situation? I’m expecting them to say that the states involved have to pay for all of it, but I’d like to be proven wrong in this…

(Spellcheck apparently changed my attempt to write “aluminum” to “alumni and.” Sorry if this confused.)

Indeed, anything is possible with him except truth, honesty, hard work, loyalty, generosity, or restraint. I wonder if ol’ Carl had a chat with him and added his push to Wilbur’s, Peter’s, and the alumni and steel execs’. (You’re right, anyone could get him to do anything with flattery once they managed to isolate…

Two additional bits on Trump’s sudden tariffs on aluminum and steel:

She was the link through which Trump did a lot of shady communication and she knows a lot of dirt. She is also an ambitious liar. I hope Mueller squeezes the truth about Trump out of her.

When I read about the cloned dogs my first thought was that this is the act of a deeply entitled rich person. “What!? No, I won’t allow my fave pet to die, she has to keep going indefinitely. Make that happen, minion.”

Good point. I think this may be the Maddow piece that you are referring to:

Yes. Sort of revealing, I think, for that writer to have made that particular mistake. The power of cultural conditioning.
