We're dipping into the Late Cretaceous rivers of the Hell Creek Formation in this special episode. What's the worst that could happen?

Happy #MosasaurMonday from Eustace, the holotype skull of Jormungandr walhallensis discovered in North Dakota by the NDGS.
We were tasked with taking this not-quite-complete skull (right) and digitally restoring it for display at the NDGS as well as a library just a few miles from the dig site 🧪

The paper coming out later this week will provide an interesting update on the Hell Creek ecosystem. 🌎 As a teaser, here is a cropped bit of artwork. Any guesses about the topic? Best guess wins some NDGS Paleo stickers!🎉
