This work could not have happened without the financial support of NSF and the carefully protected U.S. BLM lands in the De-Na-Zin Wilderness Area. It shows how national lands are used in so many ways, like understanding ancient ecosystems and their vulnerabilities to sudden environmental change

Dinosaurs weren’t doomed to extinction, instead they were thriving right up until the end-Cretaceous asteroid impact.

Combining the new dates for the San Juan Basin dinosaurs with ecological modeling of dinosaur occurrences across North America, we show that dinosaurs were not declining leading up to the end-Cretaceous extinctions. Instead, the were diverse and living in provincial northern and southern communities

We used multiple dating methods to show that the Naashoibito dinosaurs in southern North America lived at the same time as the iconic dinosaurs from the Hell Creek area in Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas.

Excited to share the results of collaborative research in the San Juan Basin in New Mexico published today in @science.org that provides new age constraints for the Naashobito dinosaurs from New Mexico, like the giant sauropod, Alamosaurus: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New dates on fossils from New Mexico reveal a community of dinosaurs that were thriving right before the asteroid strike, including 80-foot-long, 30-ton giants like Alamosaurus. I’ll tell you more in my latest for NatGeo. 🧪
New evidence reveals dinosaurs were thriving right up to the moment the asteroid hit
Newly dated fossils from New Mexico challenge the idea that dinosaurs were in decline—and suggest instead they had formed flourishing communities.

5/6 Mammals diversify rapidly, within about 300,000 years after Chicxulub. No Paleocene non-avian dinosaurs are found in here: every dinosaur fossil occurs below the K/Pg boundary.

4/6 Dinosaurs in New Mexico were diverse and thriving to the end. Western North America shows at least two bioprovinces along a north-south gradient with distinct regional faunas.

3/6 Naashoibito is contemporaneous with the Hell Creek Formation and is among the best-dated terminal Cretaceous dinosaur faunas from southern Laramidia.

2/6 🦖 For over a century, the K/Pg story came mostly from the northern Great Plains. New Mexico now joins the conversation. Our Science paper dates the Naashoibito Member (San Juan Basin, NM) to <340 ka pre-K/Pg using high-precision ^40Ar/^39Ar + magnetostratigraphy.

My formative tween years were wrapped up in Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis and the Zoo Tycoon franchise. It's a life achievement, for me, ending up contributing (in a small way) to the Jurassic World Evolution, the very thing that kindled my interest in natural history.

Started playing Pokémon Legends: ZA. I had thought about choosing Totodile ever since the starter lineup was announced, but I went with Chikorita instead because I just love Mega Meganium! It's a floral fairy sauropod, what's not to love!

I might go so far as to say Wikipedia is the single most important website on today’s internet. Maybe the internet in general. It is a necessary resource and we need to do all we can to support it.
yeah, look .... not sure who needs to hear this (actually, everyone does), but turn off the stupid AI suggestions in your search results, and def. go and use @wikipedia.org a lot more.

The best way I can describe why Wikipedia is the optimal model for all of us is that it is a knowledge base that is crowdsourced BY HUMANS with discussions, revisions, moderation BY HUMANS. It is also transperant (we can see who makes edits)
The dumb AI slop is like an opaque synthesis by machines.

Also, if you can, donate to wikipedia at least once per year. It can be like $5 - the same amount as a cup or two of coffee per year.
If the majority of us did this, then it would give the folks at Wikipedia the $$$ they need to maintain this excellent resource that we all get to use for free.
