It’s a beaut! I commissioned @serpenillus.bsky.social for this incredible piece that has quite a purpose. The new SVP Memoir dropped while we were in Zambia 🇿🇲 on a field expedition alongside the government.
More soon, but for now enjoy. 😊
A scene of ca. 252 million years ago during the Late Permian in the Madumabisa Mudstone Formation in Zambia, Africa. You can see here various therapsids and a Pareisaur

Graduation week here at @loyolachicago.bsky.social. This year’s graduate and undergraduate graduates from the Whitney Lab 🤩. This team: published, presented at national conferences, did fieldwork, worked in museum collections, and even made a lab instagram. They will be so missed and look out world!

Such a fun group to chat with about the importance of paleohisto data accessibility!
A huge thank you to Dr. @megwhit.bsky.social for being the first guest lecturer in our new MorphoBank Seminar Series! Her talk on Bone Histology 🦴🔬 and how MorphoBank supports research in this field was fantastic. We’re excited to showcase her data! #BoneHistology #Paleontology #MorphoBank

@gondwannabe.bsky.social and I had a blast working with students from Loyola and the Idaho Museum of Natural History this week on developing our curation system of Lance Creek micro vertebrate fossils. Special thanks to the @burkemuseum.bsky.social for hosting us! #FossilFriday

For #FossilFriday, and my first post here, a beautiful section of a radioulna from Poebrotherium. Along with @gondwannabe.bsky.social, my student Kara Ehler is describing the seasonal growth of this early camel.
