They might not know much about hockey. But they know what Utah’s NHL team should be called.
Utah's NHL team is in the "home stretch" of announcing its official name. Does one option stand above the rest?

Just got finished printing this life-sized lungfish model as a gift for the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site Museum
It's a surprise 🤫 so don't tell SGDS Curator @andrewtracks.bsky.social

#FossilFriday from the Substation Quarry at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site in SW Utah. Two Anomoepus tracks in a trackway, a nice Grallator, and a theropod vertebra found right at the end of the day.

New theropod tooth today and Handy Excavation is moving in big equipment to get the huge rock pile out of the way. Thanks for all of the amazing support!

Some cool finds today in the Substation Quarry at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site! This quarry is becoming massive! We're having lots of fun though.

The St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site is looking for help with funding and crews to excavate an ~1/2 acre of bone beds in the Early #Jurassic (~200 million). We need big excavation equipment. Check out fossils and how you can help in the images attached.

We're looking for help with the excavation of bone beds at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site in SW Utah. We need heavy excavation equipment to move a large fossil-rich rock pile and in place rock above the bone beds. The City will break ground for an electrical substation in early April.

Another beautiful phytosaur skull discovered by our SGDS crew in 2020. It's from the lower Church Rock Member of the Chinle Formation from San Juan County, Utah.

For this #FossilFriday, the early #Triassic owenettid Saurodektes kitchingorum from South Africa.
This taxon (and other procolophonoids) were some of the only reptilian survivors of the End Permian #Extinction.
Was it because they were burrowing?
Bonus: There are fossil millipedes (:

Amazing science on bird limb functionally! I'm totally not going to harass our pet chickens to watch them rotate their legs at the knee, no sir.
Thrilled to share: out in @natureportfolio.bsky.social (!) just in time for Thanksgiving, the dinosaurian history of how your turkey does the twist.

Here, we describe Uncus dzaugisi from the Ediacaran of South Australia. This vermiform, non-modular bilaterian was curved to sinuous in shape, and moved through the microbial mat with a distinct sinusoidal pattern.
