Last day of the IRATE workshop in Erlangen. See the happy faces! Looks like everybody had a good time and hopefully fruitful discussions... can't wait to see the outcomes published ^^ (no pressure at all ;))

A fantastic and productive week creating new resources for the next generation of experimental taphonomists! Thanks to @orlabe.bsky.social for driving this forward with me and @paleosynth.bsky.social for hosting us!

Squeezing in one more art piece before the end of 2024, a year after having the opportunity to do fieldwork in the Candeleros Fm of Argentina's Neuquén Basin. That trip inspired this piece, which depicts a group of titanosaurs traveling a dry interdune riverbed at sunset. #paleoart #sauropods 🦕

Are you in the Twin Cities and wonder what dinosaurs sounded like? Come check out our exhibit at Como Conservatory where we used an instrument based on hadrosaur skulls to create an immersive soundscape in the Fern Room! Nov 18th-26th! #Hadrophone

Headed to Minneapolis for the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting next week? Come check out my talk on Wednesday morning at 10:30am discussing some of my PhD work experimentally rethinking current methods for examining fluvial transport in the fossil record! #Taphonomy #fossils #2024SVP

Hey y’all! I’m a PhD Candidate at the U of Minnesota in paleontology focused on experimental taphonomy in river/floodplain environments! I also enjoy doing science outreach through art, film, and music! You can find that stuff here and on YouTube at Earth Encompassed!

In what is now Austin, a Tylosaur cruises past Pilot Knob Volcano, a volcanic island in the Western Interior Seaway. A shoal of Hoplopteryx follow as it passes over a reef along the volcano’s flanks, and the ash cloud is set ablaze by the light of a Cretaceous sunset. #paleoart #mosasaurs #geology

Had a great time doing field work in Utah, looking for Cretaceous #fossils in places like the Book Cliffs! Lots of #geology to see and interpret, and lots of stories to tell from the rocks!

Hey y’all! I’m a masters student at the U of Minnesota in vertebrate paleontology focused on taphonomy. I am interested in paleoecology, paleoenvironments, and the evolution of vocalization. I enjoy scicomm through art and film, and you can find my outreach videos on YouTube at Earth Encompassed!
