Oooh! I know where they keep the oldest North American dinosaur! 🤫 🤩
UWGM 1975: It’s not much to look at, but it’s arguably the most important ankle bone in the UW Geology Museum and is the holotype of *Ahvaytum bahndooiveche*’s. Cataloged and accessioned by @carriethecurator.bsky.social (5/x)

Many things make *Ahvaytum* special including its name given by co-author Reba Teran (Eastern Shoshone Elder) as part of a multigenerational collaboration between the Fort Washakie Schools 7th grade cohort (2022), educators, Elders, and the Eastern Shoshone THPO (3/x) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEsW...

HUGE news from my very talented museum colleague and all around great work from our fossil prep lab student and researcher @akufner.bsky.social and former student @adamfitch.bsky.social. The name, in Eastern Shoshone, means “long ago dinosaur”. Congrats all! 👏🏻
I am incredibly excited to share our new Open Access publication in the @zoojlinnsoc.bsky.social that was released today. Please welcome *Ahvaytum bahndooiveche*, a new species of sauropodomorph(?) dinosaur from the Popo Agie Formation, WY, USA. tinyurl.com/3zx7s3mx (1/x)

And in other weird news, I now have a fossil species named after me which is perhaps only marginal proof that this account is real 😂
